Nice Mordor vs Gondor on a different map for once yay! I think this shows you that Mordor actually has a chance off of Fords against a Gondor player . [attachmentid=222807]
Rating by: Luân
Starting positions: [DT]Freedom - South P2B|Blunder` - North
Overview:
Very good textbook play from both players however I believe map size played a part in this along with the neutral host. Gondor has a good and quick start and struck first however Mordor was prepared and soon after, Gondor was stuck in his base.
[DT]Freedom - Gondor
Perfect starting pathways for this map imo but it seems like not having host really affected your micro unfortunately. Your horses on the first rush were hit by a lucky swing. I would reccommend adding in some more BS before rushing and also securing all the creeps/harrassing more (rushing with 2 and creeping/harrasing with one is always an option). imo you should have gotten GtW instead of elves if you knew he had quite a few trolls out as a second rush would probably not have worked (as it didn't) due to the amount of trolls out. Your statue timing was a little off but understandable you were trying to micro. Spamming rangers imo is a better choice than archers since even though they don't do as much damage, will do more damage over time. Alot of your mistakes were probably due to not having host. Gl for next time.
P2B|Blunder` - Mordor
You played a great Mordor and basically textbook BO this game. Don't forget about finishing off creeps however. You still had a warg lair on the right side and every PP counts (you were lucky he did not get it with your horses as you didn't take it untill mid game). Also, a few more early towers would not of hurt. I believe you only had 2 or 3 the entire game and left your base a little risky as you also didn't have your base gaurded very well with your trolls spread out for a portion of the game. Don't forget to always have at least 2 drummers in your army so they can give each other LD. Finally, imo the harads weren't necesary but I guess late game, the pike harads can be useful (I would still reccommend spending this cap into trolls instead).
Overall Rating:5 Lowered to a 5 due to game length (not alot of material), unusual/contraversial imba map, and a wrong host choice imo for this MU (FoL needs to host). Do not get me wrong, gameplay (outside of micro due to host) was pro.

Do you two seriously want Ratings on both of the games posted? I think both of your points have been made by posting the replays alone. You both are amazing players imo. The reppage can stop I think. So yes or no for Ratings?
Well all I know is that I posted my game for a rating, so yes I would like a review/rating/ whatever a rating is these days . The game wasn't that long something like 20 minutes.
