I think you killed gundreds and gundreds of wargs.

Luckily you made a great strategical mistake, or I would've lost to double army of the dead (aranub+regular aotd).

As i reviewed Majors isen vrs gondor I might aswel do this one.

Rohan/Dinn - West
Isen/Major - East

A good rohan isen game, showing a great fight for MC, rohan having the uperhand but tactical errors gave it away to isen, a hard fight to stay in the game from rohan didn't pay off.

Rohan/dinn:


A good start, taking down his laborers was a good thing to do, maybe try splitting up ur men if he uses warchant, one go up one down. Your horses came fast, much faster than a isen can get pikes, send your first horses to his mills and get his eco down, you can creep after he got pikes at his 1st 2 mills with 2 sets of horses.

You went for fast upgrades which was a good choise, with better micro you should have gotten all the mc back imo. You lacked a bit of micro. Just a little tip: FU rohimir > pikes, FU rohirim + theo > FU pikes.

You went for fast combos, which could have worked if you used them to attack his base straight away, instead you waited for ara allowing him to get rain, combos and siege, get aragorn before combos so he ranks up earlier, hes also great at fighting pikes and getting mc, this lost you the game imo, losing all your horses after that 1st big battle made it impossible to fight for mc again(micro!)

Later game your defending was great, bad choise sending aragorn out when you didnt have heal/BM/horses so you couldnt take siege down and he died easily, gimli was a great choise aswel as he's rohan 2nd strongest tank.

The greater eco of isen and rain eventually finished you off.

Plusses:
  • good start/split peasents from warchant
  • Fast upgrades
  • late game defending/gimli

Minusses:
  • combos before aragorn/get aragorn 1st
  • horse micro

Isen/Major:

You went pit/furn/mill, I prefer going pit/2mills vs rohan, make extra labores at them, they give a great eco, you normally shouldnt lose a mill, unlike vrs gondor as its harder.

You know he will atleast send 2 waves of 2 peasents to your mills, always be prepared for it, you managed to defend your mills great.

Good choise going fast wargs, its great getting the peasent spam down and control mc. But when you saw he had upgrades, stop spamming wargs, its better to do 2 wargs/upgrades/more wargs, you had a big fight for mc because of this, losing wargs and giving him powerpoints for elves.

You had problems finishing of rohan, The thing I usually do is mass wargs, 2/3 combos and few catapults with lurtz and saruman, mass wargs with wc+howl while raining will own his complete army, use your combos and catapults to fight the crippled heroes.

a last type, NEVER fight aragorn with lurtz or any other melee units, aragorn is a tank with anduril, you ranked him up fighting him like this.

Plusses:
  • mill defending
  • fast wargs
  • mass wargs late game

Minusses:
  • late upgrades
  • melee on aragorn.
