Sammy really wanted this posted, I thnk this is my 1st ever 2v2 game ive posted wacko.gif Urrrr was gg, kinda hard doing any real damage at all with my horses etc, so i pretty much gave up on upgrading them and went for a hero spam. Sammy played really well.

Shau was in his own little dream world spamming mines all over the place, awwww. they were actually quite effective.

Wonder played ok, considerng he was washing his hair and waxing his legs.

Starting positions:
Arjen_Robben/[PLOW]G3rr4rD - West
SeventhHorcrux`/WonderTruls - East

Overview:

The game started with some good rushing but neither team could harass the enemy's economy much. There were alot of intense battles but also alot of major mistakes during them. Micro and Macro of this game was excellent by all players. The favourite part of the game were the mines for me, excellent use of them. If it wasn't for those dam Trebs, the game would've went alot different. Still, a very entertaining game with lots of action but too many mistakes to be rated higher.

Arjen_Robben/[PLOW]G3rr4rD - Gondor/Rohan

Good early game farm defense against double Isengard. Got out quick Rohirrim for some good mill harassing. Got Faramir crippled and then lost him, pay more attention. You left your gate open again and wasted time chasing the pikes down, you should really close your gate if you already have 2 postern gates. Noticed early enough that Gondor was being sneak attacked and that just saved your castle in time, otherwise it might've been over already. Got the middle with enough defense and gave Isengard only little chances to start a comeback. Are you crazy?! Why did you feed Isengard PP with your eagles? You summoned them right over his combos with lots of LD, that was very stupid, even if it was meant as distraction. Nice use of Rohirrim summon but didn't quite make it, without the LD you couldn't win that battle. Good Gandalf micro, killed Saruman and a bunch of combo uruks. Won the battle between your bases although you had weather disadvantage and got AoD to start a comeback. Nice attack on Wonder before he gets back Balrog, and exactly that happened, very lucky. There wasn't much Shauling could've done to start a comeback.

How to Improve
  • Should've closed your gate, this costed you a Stable, a well and gave Isengard lotsa PP aswell as from your Rohirrim.
  • Always watch out for Lurtz in a game involving Isengard.
  • Keep LD heroes at the back of your army.
  • Don't waste Eagles that way, they are a good distraction if it's in a battle but not before a battle.
SeventhHorcrux`/WonderTruls - Isengard/Isengard

Pretty good uruk rush but didn't get much farms down, good warchant use. Your 3 mills allotment was a good strategy to get quick upgrades for your combos. A very nice move catching Rohan off guard and running into his base with chanted pikes. Took down Faramir with cripple and another nice base attack with Pikes giving you time to build up your army. You killed 2 nasty hero killers in that first big battle, this atleast gave you the securing of not losing a hero yourself. Took down a Gondor wall and retreated intime but unfortunately lost a Saruman. Got your rain intime before the battle started. A nice mine, looked very cool and blasted down the wall of the middle camp which cant be rebought/built. You had a great comeback with rain and won the battle for the middle, the advantage was back on your side. The best move was that you placed the mine right in the middle of his army. You had huge casualties on your 3rd battle between Gondor and Rohan base, lost everything and gave Gondor enough PP to get AoD but aalso got alot of PP back to get Balrog. Very good Balrog micro from Wonder, took down Gondor's whole castle. You got VERY unlucky at the end, only seconds away from having Balrog back when you got defeated. The game was over after Wonder died and Shauling, you should work on your Balrog micro, that was horrible. post-13661-1143531603.gif

How to Improve
  • Don't run in formation with Uruks/Pikes.
  • Better Land placement, could've covered 2 elven woods at the first big battle.
  • Wasted Saruman, could've instead casted Worm Tongue if you were gonna suicide him anyway.
  • Don't waste Worm Tongue on an area without an units.
  • Could've taken out his Trebshop too while you were at his base with your Wargs, just get behind the building and attack, there were no units to defend anyway.
  • Didn't pay enough attention when Gandalf ran into your army, could've taken him down.
  • You probably should've got the middle while you were walking past the middle camp so Gondor can't get it.
Overall Rating: 6
