An interesting game from both sides....While mordor was using a harad strat, gondor realized that horses no longer would help him. which made him make infantry..After mordor took over the entire map, gondor had to play in a defense mode... which slowed the game up...Im gonna be honest im still a noob, specially when attackin a gondor player rank 17 playin as a defense mode....so here goes my advice: if u r a mordor player that usually takes over the map but doesnt know how to attack and ends up losing a game cuz of that...u should watch this rep.. GG kronics....hope to see u soon....

Starting positions: Gondor/[Ev]Kronics - West Mordor/FerK^KinG - East
Overview:
Not the most entertaining Gondor vs Mordor. No knights meant that the Mordors economy was not really challenged and forced a fast lameworks and trebs. After a good long seige, hindered slightly by use of summons and masses of trebs, the Gondor player was broken down and Mordor was victorious. Some good play from Mordor however, but sadly not matched from Gondor imo. GG Guys.
Gondor/[Ev]Kronics
Well not a great game from you, you must understand that in this MU, the longer you fight, the more chance it is that mordor will win. Mordor is a late game army and so you must try to kill them quickly. Start with 2 farms, get some quick knights (dont fara rush, it weakens your economy and he is far too easily killed). Use your knights to maintain MC and creep. You should then look to get HS then save for Gandy with statues, or use Elven Allies summon along with a HS rush to bring down the troll cage. You then need to keep up the offensive and build up an archer army while Gandy keeps troll numbers low. If you do get an earlier fara/boro, dont send them out alone as they are easily killed by a couple of trolls. Even if you choose to use a fast archer/soldier strat, you will need some knights out afterwards to help your harassment and contention for MC. Try not to fall into your defensive pattern.
start with 2 farms vs mordor - faster knights, no need for ups till later
if your going to lay EW, all attack the mill, you should be able to kill it
DONT fara rush, fast knights are much more important vs mordor
Dont send boro/fara out alone, they can easily be killed by 2 trolls
Try to be more aggressive, get some knights, compete for MC
Mordor/FerK^KinG
This was a well played game from you, he started to camp but you held through and conducted a steady seige and broke him down. Nice creeping with gollum and haradrim early on, though your early EoS allowed him an EW placement that he did not really take advantage of. Once you knew he was camping, get multiple seige works asap. And remember to keep drummers etc near catas at all times. Camping in this way should not be a problem at all because he had no knights and initially no Gandalf. Remember that catas recieve LD which means that catas totally pwn trebs on any level. With WK, Darkness, Drummer and eye LD, it takes a treb with fire stones about 3 or 4 hits to kill a cata and the cata will kill it in one (with all of the mentioned LD, missing one would mean 2 hits) your late game army should consist of a couple of combos, plenty of trolls/drummers and 15+ catas. This will pwn any Gondor camper, however you did well, with some good hit and runs with WK and Nazgul, so on the whole GG, WP.
Dont buy EoS immediately vs Gondor, wait until you see heal or just before
Somehow you let him have 3 EW's even though you had TL, this made it more awkward later
Haradrim lancers are not useful late game, dont make them
Get at least 2, id suggest 3 seige works asap once you know hes camping
Overall Rating:4
