Review by: Gamroth

Starting positions:
Rohan/]LmO[TuRtLE - West
Rohan/[PLOW]G3rr4rD - East

Overview:

An entertaining Rohan mirror between the two Rohan strat mods. There was some nice battles and good micro. The game turns around through choice of PP and is battled hard until the end. A good watch, GG Guys.


Rohan/]LmO[TuRtLE

You played a very good game and imo should have won. You were a little slow to build your armoury, make sure that you build as soon as you can as the quicker you get the upgrades the faster you can start to benefit from them and compete with your opponent. I personally would always recommend buying banner before destroying your armoury - it is useful later on, giving to your combos and horses, and to counter CB. Just make sure that you keep your rohirrim constantly active and split up throughout the entire game. Try and use your Ents more effectively in battle, they are very good for trampling through combos especially when in a rage. Dont be so quick to buy certain PPs. Although i do not really think this classifies too much as a poor decision on your part but more of a good choice of counter from Gerrard. Overall a very nice performance WP.
  • cash floating delayed your armoury
  • i would always recommend getting banner before destroying armoury
  • keep rohirrim split up all over the map, dont ride in 1 big group
  • use ents to walk through/trample combos/elves


Rohan/[PLOW]G3rr4rD

This was a good game from you, you managed to turn the game around from a point where you were certainly worse off. You seized your chance with EW and it won the the battle and ultimately the game. Just make sure that you split your rohirrim a little more effectively so that you can cover the whole map. Again i would always recommend buying banner before destroying your armoury - it is useful later on, giving to your combos and horses, and to counter CB. Keep up the speed of transition from Horses -> Ups -> Ara -> combos. Sometimes, especially after Aragorn, there were gaps between the stages. You managed to be the first to reach AotD and backed it up with a lvl 10 Ara. A very nice game, GJ.
  • make sure you keep rohirrim split up so you can cover the whole map
  • i would always recommend getting banner before destroying armoury
  • Quicker transition to combos after Aragorn
  • Make sure you keep your horses mobile, you almost allowed yourself to be shut in your castle

Overall Rating: 7

RotWC and Silver

Yes 4gr33D 100%, especially because you can easily lose some horses b/c of mini-map lag ON TOP OF command lag, and also lag that affects what sounds are played etc ... in fact it's not ALMOST a game decided, I personally feel it is really the only thing that matters at the highest levels of play vs "real pro" players in fol mirrors host will win 80% of the time.
