Battle for Middle Earth

Well this is the first Replay I post since about a year ago now...
I came back to bfme 2 weeks ago. This was a funny game.
I saved myself in the last moment and counterattacked.

I expect this game to be reviewed... Guardian.

PS. I was a former Replay Reviewer.

(Playing as ObiWan)

Really, any need to post.
I am a crap rohan and REALLY was not paying attention cause i was with a m8, k thanks.

He isn't in EPIC either.

He came on with the [EPIC] Tag. I just put down what I see.

Would enjoy a review on this. Its a pretty short game so it shouldnt be hard.

i only come onto that tag because I all of my maties are added on that account


Seriously, watch the rep, it was okay but I played like shit. Well, more like shit

Yeh, but it was my 1st replay I posted in like a year now.

fair do's.

well, Im not trying to excuse my way out of it. you bested me. but i was very distracted because I was showing a friend how to play teh game. Like I said, you still beat me fair and square, but I did have shit micro because of that reason, you probably wouldve won anyway.

Mine

[EPIC]Krysler V [PAiN]ObiWan

Matchup: Rohan Mirror
Map: Fords of Isen


[EPIC]Krysler (Left)

BO: 2 Farms in > 2 Farms out > Stables > Fill with Farms > Archery Range > Armoury
Strat: Peasents north, Merry claims farms > 2 Rohirrim > Theoden > RA > Eomer > Ent Moot > Peoman > Fire > Upgrades
PP Usage: Draft > Heal

Pros:
Got one of his farms down early on
Very fast creeping for a boost to early econ and PPs
Good use of Rohirrim formations
Used peasents to boost the performance of the yeoman

Got Eomer to support the Rohirrim attack, but you never used his spear

Cons:
Should’ve let Theo get the last hit on the southern most creep
You let a whole bat of level 2 horses die to Lego unnesecarily at the right middle farm
Poor ent micro, there’s no need for them to rock throw when they’re in the castle
No last stand with a statue, wall banner and well
RA were an unnecessary purchase as he only had 1 rohirrim

Overall Gameplay: 4


[PAiN]ObiWan (Right)

BO: 2 Farms in > 2 Farms out > Fill with Farms > Stables > Armoury
Strat: Peasents defend, Merry through middle > Peasent spam > Legolas > Rohirrim > Theoden > Upgrades > Ent Moot
PP Usage: Draft > Heal > Elves

Pros:
Excellent Legolas micro
Good harassment from Theo and the bat of Rohirrim
Attacked ent and moot with horses before it reacted to them

You used Legolas to kill Theo when he was sieging, but you could’ve killed him earlier at the northern creep

Cons:
Major cashfloating at the start
Didn’t sell farms before red gifting him PP
Although you did well to destroy his farms, you took quite a while to rebuild your own farms

Overall Gameplay: 5

Comments:
This was a Rohan mirror with a difference – 2 players trying 2 different strats, with the player using the less conventional strat winning.

Krysler started much the better of the two, with harassment of Obi’s farms eventually paying off by getting one of them down. Obi must send at least 1 peasent to harass the enemy’s farms, as this is turn helps divert their attacking force away. Due to Obi’s cashfloating and doing the unconventional Legolas rush, Krysler was able to have the creeping advantage. I don’t think you took full advantage though, as Theo only got to level 2. I would’ve had 1 rohirrim harassing his farm, and used the other rohirrim to take a creep down to minimal health and then guard it, waiting for Theo to get the last hit.

When the siege came, you decided to go for peoman first instead of upgrades. I felt this was a mistake as you didn’t need fire that badly at the time. You were slow to protect your moot, and you had ents on rock throw unnecessarily. Despite the failed siege, I still felt you held an advantage over your opponent. However, your final defense of your castle was non-existent. You needed a statue for LD, and I would’ve got Aragorn for his good LD, not to mention the fact he could’ve slaughtered the ents seeing as you had enough PP for Anduril. But you didn’t meet the minimum requirements for the castle defence, so you decided to quit at this point.

Entertainment Value: 5
