Plz review

[attachmentid=196322]

Review by: Gamroth

Starting positions:
Rohan/WhosTheSmuRf - West
Mordor/Sectium^ - East

Overview:

A nice Rohan vs Mordor to watch. Some interesting strats are used and executed. But in the end Rohan was unable to stop the trolls from building up from a 2 cage spam. He was not quick enough to build up an army against them and struggled to stay in the game after his attacks had failed. Nice play from Mordor who did not a lot wrong. GG Guys.


Rohan/WhosTheSmuRf

I would concentrate on sending your 1st rohirrim straight to his mills instead of creeping, you have to damage his economy as much as possible so that he will have as little trolls as possible when you are ready to attack. It was a shame that you did not have Anduril when Aragorn first arrived or you would have been able to win the game. Imo after this you should have moved on to make some RA's to hit and run his trolls as you would not be able to beat them in a fight. This was the only way you could have stopped the large build up of trolls. Well played though, a nice strat.
  • I would send 1st rohirrim straight to mills to harass (as opposed to creeping)
  • Keep watching your summoned elves - dont keep targeting trolls already in 'death cycle'
  • I would have made some RA's (something that can hit + run) you cant beat all them trolls


Mordor/Sectium^

This was a nice performance, nice use of ealry orcs to creep and harads to hold map control. Once gerrard had killed your troll cage you switched very nicely to a double cage troll spam. This allowed to build up a large army quickly. GJ.
  • Get rid of harad palace earlier imo, no use for it late game
  • Try and keep orcs near trolls so that they can heal and prevent losing as many to elf summon

Overall Rating: 6

Yea was gg, 1st time ive used the 5 horse shield rush vs mordor. I need 2 tweek it slightley.

The problem with this strat is if it fails, u have do something op 2 win wacko.gif

I still wont give up on this strat, it think it has alot of potential, elf summon/sheild rush should come when he has 2/3 trolls out. A big blow for me this game was when i summoned elfs next to your cage and killed the trolls, but because my 2 horses nearby were on 2 low health, i couldnt come in and kill the cage immediately.

no it isnt...gerrard tried to do a HS rush and didnt play it off as well as he coulda, and he ended up not knowing how to deal with a few trolls afterwords. Like he said it left him open to just losing the game. O and you killed 3 yeoman with your trolls, siiiickkkk....Some skilled gameplay, but no entertainment wacko.gif
