Battle for Middle Earth

There are no worries if you can't. Knowing that you will take the time to watch and review it is nice.

ok as you posted this game rokettman i will mostly concentrate on your part

normally i'd just say: watch strat forums bc of massive amount of errors but you really wanted that review so you get it

Team 1 (gondor/rohan) vs Team 2 (gondor/Rohan) on Anorien

Team1 (|KOD|Rokettman and Floydfan123)

gondor:

do not start with furnaces in base, get farms for faster horses
don't choose your first power till you know what power is better in the situation
should have kept troll creep for faramir to level him up
attack their farm after killing their starting troops, cloak hobbits there to cripple their economy for a long time
lost knights to theo + knights
the tower was a complete waste
stopped creeping/attacking/harassing after a while

sneaked up faramir to kill theo
they ran gandy grey, aragorn, gimli, 3 knights, theoden into death at your middle camp
nice fast aotd bc they ran like 20 heroes into your knights/faramir

rohan:

two farms, archery range might not be the best for rohan better get more farms, rohan has weak economy
better go for theo + rohirrim archers they are way better in that matchup
cant think of anything more useless than 2 towers for rohan
unupgraded evles without leadership aren't that good of an idea imo, get leadership and upgrades way faster
claimed middle


Team2 (Dragoncreaper and conradcool)

gondor:

start dbl farm, not farm, furn
layd land down first
stable last building in castle
lost 3 !!!!!!!!! knights to elves

rohan:

starting buildorder 2 outside farms, hobbit and ...... A POSTERN GATE?
get draft as first power, if you really go heal ifirst for whatever reason then run them into a troll immediately

theoden to help your mates knights with leadership



the game overall:

the game was quite entertaining, though there was a lack of skill tbh

your opponents just hat no clue of what they were doing imo, rohan even started with a postern gate

i actually started to think that they would start to do better afte the starting bo's bc they started to keep theoden + knights together, theoden was 3.5 in no time and i thought they would get GC very soon and then own you with rohirrim archers + gc

but no, they went for herospam + knights

faramir is indeed a very usefull hero, wounding arrow is very usefull

your strategy worked quite good that game, though i can promise you that good players will just own you with that kind of strategy

i recommend:

2 outside, 4 inside farms, stables, knight, furn, knight, furn, knight, horseshield, sell stable, get furn/well (depends on situation), buy faramir, sell the 4 inside farms, get statues, get gandi, then upgrades

btw... dont take the review harsh, i just want to point out that your strategy wont work in games vs more skilled players

and thx for posting it as it was quite entertaining though imo

i love to see heroes getting owned (and i couldn't resist laughing when i saw the guy starting with a postern gate )

strategies involved: 2/10
entertainment: 5/10
overall: 2.5/10 --> 3/10

I expected as much, and no offense taken. This was a match around 2-3 months ago, and I had kept, it, but never came around to posting it. I have learned new strats (thankfully). Thnx cacadoo .

That replay is indeed funny. Everybody knows that Faramir won't be use VS FOL. But that was funny. Faramir killing so many Heroes and you missed Gandalf The White. Faramir might have be level 10.

i love to get faramir vs rohan, he is quite very usefull

though of course not that fast. more like: after shields or sth
