A very long game Mordor/isen vs Rohan/Gondor. Rohan got theo lvl 5, lego lvl 5, aragorn rank 9 and gandalf rank 9.6.
Both teams had to attack and defend, some very good moments in it. So I'd like to have it reviewed smile.gif.

I think this game proves Rohan/Gondor is the best counter vs Mordor/Isen.

See for yourself who won numchuks.gif

Team 1: WB|Will - Gondor + WB|Dolphine - Rohan
Team 2: [LNL]DEMOXX - Isengard + [LNL]PPjWtf - Mordor


QUOTE
Game : GG_WB
Version : 1.02
Date : 2005.08.05 14:06:36
Time: 00:59:34
Map : Anorien


Team 1: WB|Will - Gondor + WB|Dolphine - Rohan

WB|Will - Gondor
Strat: knights over Faramir to Gandalf, market+stoneworker
PP-route: Heal, GtW, EW, Rohirrim, Eagle


smile.gif fast stable
smile.gif creeping /w knights
smile.gif mostly good use of Gandalf to kill Lurtz or Nazgul. before Gandalf died the first time you missed a chance to IL Lurtz though.
sad.gif lost Level 9 Gandalf by sending him all on his own into Rohan's base flooded /w pikes. You really couldn't prevent the destruction of Rohan's base, so better keep Gandalf alive and put the money inot base defense
sad.gif too close to Balrog when trying to kill Balrog with Gandalf, he died

WB|Dolphine - Rohan
Strat: 2 rohirrim+Theoden, Legolas, Aragorn, Fire, horse-archers

smile.gif fast stable
smile.gif good defense of your farms with some extra-peasants
smile.gif good creeping
smile.gif Theoden to rank 4
smile.gif mostly good hero-micro. Sometimes forgot to use Aragorn's heal

Teamwork:

smile.gif attacked their mills in early-game /w starting units
mellow.gif ok, you needed to trample orcs to get some more PPs but you spent too much time with trampling and hardly harassed any mills with your cavalry. The window of opportunity to harass isn't very big, use the time to harass, you'll also gain some PPs.
sad.gif don't forget to check each of their bases for towers. Isengard didn't have any towers for a long time and also not enough pikes to be protected. you could've dealt some nice damage to his base in early-midgame
smile.gif good use of GC
sad.gif in mid-game you didn't harass at all. There were some trolls, indeed but cavalry is still faster than them and ouy might be able to lure one of them to Aragorn/Legolas
sad.gif on your second attak on mordor you retreated too early, imho could've stood a little longer destroying towers/buildings
sad.gif too passive in late mid-game (after Mordor built camp), there was no nazgul, so split up your forces and constantly check their bases to see if they're defended. Both of their main bases weren't very good protected, they massed all units in the middle

Team summary:
Really good teamwork, combining the strengths of your factions.
Pay attention to never idle with your units, run around don't give them time to think, lure them into mistakes.
If you're starting a major attack on one base, it's always a good idea to keep 2 horses back that you should use to check the other player's main base. Most of the times you'll find the other base very weakly defended.
On your first attack on Mordor you could've used Aragorn to attack some towers, he was just standing around.
But all in all, well played!

Team 2: [LNL]DEMOXX - Isengard + [LNL]PPjWtf - Mordor

[LNL]DEMOXX - Isengard
Starting BO: 2x furnace
Strat: pikes, upgrades, Lurtz, Saruman

smile.gif good creeping
sad.gif built pit at front
smile.gif got pikes out fast
sad.gif base wasn't very good defended in early- till early-midgame. No towers, nearly no pikes.
smile.gif retreated /w high-level units to let them regenerate
smile.gif mostly good use of Lurtz crippling their heros, killed Gandalf several times
sad.gif build camp when you weren't able to defend it
thumb.gif very good balrog-micro using wings to decimate the horse-archers and destroying lot of his buildings
sad.gif pikes too far away from the catas of your teammate
biggrin.gif killed Gandalf /w Balrog

[LNL]PPjWtf - Mordor
Strat: 2x pit, trolls, nazgul

smile.gif tried to breach wall of Gondor /w troll
smile.gif retreated /w trolls from Aragorn
smile.gif pumped out drummer trolls for LD
smile.gif fire-archers to kill heros
sad.gif wasted WK + 1 nazgul when sieging Gondor
mellow.gif why only 2 siegeworks @ 2nd base, you had so much cash, why not 4 or 5 siegeworkshops to get more catas faster?

Teamwork:

smile.gif WC on both orcs and uruks to take down Gondor's farms faster
smile.gif good defense of Mordor's base during their frist attack but don't totally neglect the defense of the other base
smile.gif pikes to guarded base of Mordor
smile.gif nice LD-stacking (Srauman, drummer trolls, witchking)
smile.gif very nice siege on Rohan-> trolls to breach wall, pikes to protect them and to flood the base. GG Rohan!

Team summary:
Good teamwork, nice combination of the strenghts of your factions, good defence vs. their attacks on you.
Really not many mistakes made, except for neglecting the defense of Isen's base for a while.
Well done!

Overall summary:
Very well played match! Full of action especially except for late game but sieges have to be prepared carefully.
Good teamwork by both players. Team 1 put up a good fight vs. this Isen/Mordor-Combo who had to fight hard for their victory.
Interesting watch for Gondor/Rohan-players as well as Isen/Mordors.
I really enjoyed watching this match, thanks for posting it!

Overall rating: 7/10

Wow, thx m8 (btw, that pit in front probably comes from me being on the left side, instead of right wacko.gif).

Np for posting @ all, think about how entertaining it was to play the game wink.gif
