Was a good game and pretty fast paced. The strat i used seems to be working well for me atm but im sure someone will counter it easily once they see this replay.

Yeah I've never seen the strat before and it kind of countered the normal (for some) wargs before up's strategy and I was very dumb to adapt to it sad.gif . But very nice work on the new strat. But we were discussing it and most likely skipping wargs and going ups ---> rams at op would be somewhat the counter. The start really threw me off and very much slowed my pike spam and threw off my mid game of the creeping process. Imo this strat > quick wargs, but quick ups > this strat.

Game: Thug1ike^(Gondor) vs Decruce(Isengard)


Thug1ike^(Gondor)
Bo : farm--barracks--farm(out)--soldier--farm(out)
Strat : soldier spam--knights-->TG's<--ups--gandi


PROS
+ very nice spam of soldier early game
+ good use of Pippin and soldiers/ew
+ fast TG's countered wargs pretty well
+ very nice knight micro/harasment
+ good use of gandalf and his abilities
+ very nice use of PP's(eagles,elves...)

CONS
- sometimes u ran knights into pikes
- imo you got banner a bit late (for TG's)
- your eco was a bit screwed coz of sold. spam

Comments: Very nice strat early game...u kept him busy and when he got 1st wargs out u already had TGs to stop them.
Also u managed to get ur own cav out kinda "fast" and haras his mills all the time. Your knight micro and hero micro in general was really good and only some little mistakes here and there. One of the mistakes i've seen was getting banner too late coz lev2 fu TGs seem to be >>> everything.

Decruce(Isengard)
Bo : uruk pit--furnace--grap 1 mill--send worker to 2nd mill
Strat : uruk spam--archer (creep)--pikes/zerks spam--wargs--ups--combos--siege


PROS
+ u didnt expect that strat but still u managed to loose no mills
+ nice use of uruks/zerks and pikes to deal with all those soldiers
+ good use of wargs to hunt knights/trample soldiers
+ when he spamed TGs u started to get pikes backed up by uruks (fu)

CONS
- sometimes u forgot to retreat your pikes and u lost them to soldiers
- wargs running into some TG's here and there (didnt loose them but still..)
- imo dont rebuild your warg pit after getting ups coz he mainly spammed infantry

Comments: Was a good early game for you and i think it was just the fact that u've never played vs a gondor who gets so many TG's all over the map...They are really hard to handle coz lev2-fu-TG's are >> fu pikes and wargs cant attack everywhere.
Next time you shouldnt get so many wargs (maybe even no wargs) and spam some more fu uruks+pikes ti stop his TGs. Only some small micro mistakes here and there but nothing really bad....Next time this will gonna be closer !

Game Comments: Very exciting mu/game to watch coz gondor played a different strat and it worked pretty well....At the beginning it looked like Isen is going to win the game coz he started getting mc but later when GOndor spammed fu units the game turned and Isen didnt really know how to handle fu TGs coz they are very strong.Imho this gondor strat can be countered by uruk/pike combos (not combined just backed up) and a fast ram rush from an op.
