it started with me saying, c'mon light, let's play a pro game. Then Light tossed coin to which person would host. Since I haven't won in this mu versus Light I wanted to try again.
I want to cry......This was one of the most closest games i've ever played in the end, the winner was decided by a small 44 resources Yes you read correctly...44
Tbh your strat worked better on me then others would have. If you went gandy I could just pin him.
You went EW > Elves which is something each gondor should do against isen.
For the castle you had money short, for the OP you needed 1,5 seconds before you could claim it, I even send laborers to it to prevent you from claiming.
Pro play Light

Gandy wasnt even seen in this game, i never really had the resources to buy him. And the 44 cash i needed was to buy his castle which i destroyed while his rog was at mine, i needed literally 1-2 seconds more.
Light (Gondor on left) vs Entrax (Isen on right) Verion: 1.03 Map: Fords of Isen
Light (Gondor on left)
Bo: 3 Farm in Stables, 3 Knights, Furn, Brothers and ups, Soldier and TG spam
Pros: + got his mill down early game + fast creeping + CONSTANT Knight harrasment ALL game + constant good elves summon use + mixed army + fast pp progression + allways aggresive
Cons: - did send combos out unprotected and unupgraded - summons used most time without support of other units - never got Catas to support your base attacks - didnt rebuild Zita in end
Comments: Well played, really. Your Knight harrasment and micro of em was really nonstop great and Entrax could not keep up with your speed. So u could gather pp really kinda fast and constantly. However it is really hard to win those huge fights vs Isen having chant and rain, I really think u should mix Catas into your army when doing a base attack. Your elves were used most times good but with em being supported by a knight they are double as effective and cant be owned that easy by 2 bat of wargs, your eagles were a bit wasted 2nd time, they r hero killers and should be used for that. I have no clue why u didnt rebuild your Zita in end, u d have just won with doing so.
Rating: 7-
Entrax (Isen on right):
Bo: Furn, pit, 4 uruks xbow, pike spam, wargs
Pros: + decent pikespam + wargs and pikes constantly harrasing + killed of 1 bat Knight with palantir + very good choise of fights + pikes running from elves + good army mix + UEBER BALROG USE
Cons: - forgot send worker to grab 2nd mill - didnt injure both his soldiers before being in ew - pikespam could have been even bigger, u need 1 at EVERY mill - wargs not hunting Knights early midgame - bad hero use all game - micro in big fights
Comments: Damn u should have really won this 2 bat vs 7 soldier fight in start, u should just never fight 1 full bat of soldiers 1 on 1, but not getting the mill before he did arrive screwed u a bit. U followed your bad start by a really good pikespam u stoped him from getting all the creeps, check out to kill wargs 1. when creeping with Knights! The only way to stop some1 having such good horsemicro as Light had is to have wargs in your backland to help out your pikes, your wargs were too often at other places as his Knights absent. In the 1. big fight u didnt pin Boro what screwed u badly he knocked back all your combos, allways pin him right away. In the 2nd u did fight with only like half your units, if u get attacked by all Gondor u got u gotta get all your units espacially all your wargs to your base right away and own all his army with your Army. U lost way too much in all these fights when having actually enough power to own him: Lurz never used his bloodsword and Saruman use was bad aswell, he should allways be in back of army protecting your ballistas and back of your combos, then suddenly when Gondor isnt expecting move him forward a bit to conver his units for ownage.
UEBER BALROG USE does increase your rating by 1 and did win u the game.
Rating: 7
General Notes on the game: I liked this game a lot. Both players went for very solid good strats. Isen could not really keep up with Gondors micro in early midgame but improved his performace as game went on. Just the Hero use was very bad. Kinda entertaining end for me. Isen just had a bit too bad micro espacially in early game and Gondor a very bad end, both stops this game from being silver. Isen Balrog use is worth watching imo, last time I seen some1 owning like that with him was in the Balrog for dummies guide. ROTW contender.
