Sky's Review:

Game: the importance of lship
Version: 1.02
Date: 2005.05.31 13:15:10
Time: 00:47:30
Map: Fords of Isen

esa|Noob - Isengard - Team 1
min3mat - Random - Team 2

Isengard:

min3mat: (Started with 2 Furnaces)

+Using a Laborer to get the 2nd settlement. (Being able to rush him faster with your 1st Uruk-hai horde)
+Constant Harassment.
+Remarkable control all in all but especially the one horde that you kept attacking his Mills with. (I think it got to level 3 early game)
+-Taking outposts & having a control over the map.
+Lurtz came in a very good timing. (And of course leveling him up)
+Having Saruman. (The ultimate leadership generator that won you the game)


-Maybe having an additional tower next to your armory might save it early game?
-Having 4000 into your account some times during middle game. (It is ok since you were under a big pressure)




Isengard:

esa|Noob: (Started with 2 Furnaces)

+Using a Laborer to get the 2nd settlement. (Being able to rush his faster with your 1st Uruk-hai horde)
+Constant Harassment.
+Destroying his Armory early game twice.
+Getting up grades faster and almost won the game.


-Your micro was the main thing that he had a 3rd ranked horde attacking your Mills for a long time. (You attacked that horde while it was under the War Chant leadership, not using formation at that time only and sending your hordes one by one to it)
-Had the armory for like most of the game. (I mean come on, please destroy it when you don't need it any more. When you did destroy it at last, you had an empty spot for a long long time)
-Having 3000 into your account. (This I can't forgive, you were the one who is making all the pressure. You should not stop making your army while attacking. This is the simplest rule in RTS games. When you destroyed his Citadel, you decided to relax, step back and do some creeping across the map?)
-You had 1 fully upgraded horde standing doing nothing next to an outpost. ( While he didn't have a Citadel and a defend less base)
-I think you were able to kill Saruman many times but you didn't. (His health bar was red , all his abilities are recharging and a fully upgraded horde is standing next to him; you always choose the Citadel instead of Saruman)
-You know that you both were playing the same army; hence, you can get Saruman too.





To sum up, min3mat, he is clearly the better player here, but because of a worse harassment early game, he was not able to get upgrades 1st, therefore, he was almost defeated. Experience and micro played a big part in his come back. I don't recommend following the esa|Noob method of attacking because he was not able to do the last final attack properly at all. Instead, he kept sending his hordes one by one to his opponent base. Great entertainment and a very educational replay.
