An Entertaining game between 2 friends. When you get a chance review would be cool, thanks.

Starting positions: ^S1N15T3R^ - West Epic|Maximus - East
Overview:
A lacklustre game with Rohan getting an initial upper hand and failing miserably to capitalise on it and letting Mordor get a huge troll spam going. Rohan attacked in dribs and drabs or with single heroes and just got raped time and time again eventually leading to an early Balrog but Mordor never relaly needed the Balrog they could have ended the game much earlier with just trolls inside the Rohan castle. This is just a 'soft' game between friends. And you can tell.
^S1N15T3R^
There was a lack of initial aggression leading to Rohan getting almost total map control early. SO much so that they built statues and spammed heroes quite early and executed a reasonable Aragorn rush with the addition of Legolas to back him up. You should have died then because you didn't rebuild your camp for ages, in fact until the Rohan second wave arrived. You could have finished this off earlier but once you got a breach on the Rohan castle you backed off again. You should also have continued to use orcs or Haradrim to get map control back and slow down Rohan from re-arming. In the end it was the uber leadership of the drummers and the Witch King that gave you a bigger edge and made the end easy.
Points for Improvement
More aggression at the start to get map control. Consider some harads to creep with early.
Rebuild your camp if someone attacks it. It sounds obvious but...
Aim your towers at the heroes when you are attacked. Heroes on low health tend to make an army retreat.
Epic|Maximus
A good aggressive start but after the Aragorn rush failed you just fell back and attacked with single heroes or a few combos or elves and got raped by a troll charge. You really needed the horses there harassing the camp as well to give the trolls something else to chase after and then your archers would be able to pick the trolls off more easily because they would be split. You could have won this quite easily by not just attacking with a weak force and giving away PP's. If you hadn't lost the heroes so many time you would have got AotD first.
You did use Legolas' 'Train Archers' ability so you did get some nice touches right but you need more combos against mass trolls or something to split the trolls up with.
Points for Improvement
Don't attack towers with Aragorn, use horses for that and use Ara to provide leadership or attack important buildings.
Re-arm whilst one army is fighting for you. Kepp producing your next army to have it ready for a quicker follow up.
remember that Aragorn has 'Elendil' to use as a special ability.
Don't attack a camp with lone heroes and give away needless PP's
Overall Rating: 3
