Wow I haven't lasted so long against an Isengard under rain for a long time . This game was just ridiculous tbh. I started out decent and then i started losing the map, and then I took it back with elves a little bit. However as the game went on longer I couldnt really even fight for MC as more FU wargs started appearing and as Lurtz's rank got high. I was thinking about ents when I saw him have mostly pikes but then I changed my mind and went for Aragorn, and he was so ownage . I had some lapses in micro at times in this game, and sometimes my Rohirrim were absolute morons when they were trying to turn and shit though . But other then that I thought this was a really gg, though it was pretty long.. [attachmentid=290832]

Starting positions: Rohan/Genra1ike^ - Top Isengard/illogicalglich - Bottom
Overview:
Highly skilled and entertaining match here. The game was very dynamic through the entire legth of it. Isen quickly gained map control trough very good pike spam and Rohan recovered by clever Eleven summons and horse micro. Aragorn was a threat at all times. In the end Rohan and Isengard throwed everything they had for the win. Watch this, you won't be dissapointed.
Your early game was very good. I could only advise here to spam some more peasants on outside farms. This would force him to buy more zerks or to go wargs before upgrades thus delaying upgrades. Excellent Elven summons, they always brought you some breathing time and a farm or two. Very good ent spam also, I liked it how you attacked his base with them when he had no units there. I have not much to say here, you pretty much did the right things. Well played.
Your early game was excellent. Good creeping also. After getting map control I would strive to quickly siege him. Rohan can't do much this early against FU pikes. Try faster siege to lure his army out in the open to fight at your terms. Attack Aragorn only when you're certain that you can kill him (ie. you have ballistas nearby) otherwise, cripple him and leave him be.
I would point out that you had one very nice chance to end this game earlier. When he summoned Aotd you sent all of your wargs running and he sent few aotd after them. Those wargs stopped running in front of rohan base and they got owned by aotd. If you continued to run into his defensless castle, things would have changes quickly. Still, well played.
Improvements:
Keep zerks and pikes close to one another. They complement each other nicely.
Much faster siege imo. Don't let him build up. Rams, ballistas, provoke him.
Protect ballistas with pikes. Wargs are bad guardians.
Big mistake pitting warg against Aragorn with blademaster without any leadership or bonuses.
Balrog micro.
Highlight of the match: Excellent usage of elven summons kept Rohan in the game.

I got so fucking mad when I bought Lego and he died 20 seconds later. I wanted him to hawk strike some pikes at the top farm and he went out of the wrong postern and lurtz + friends happened to be roaming around at the wrong time FFS. Never revived that fag .

- Legolas micro!
- Horse micro here and there.
