Review by: Guardian

Starting positions:
SONKRALINIZ (Isengard) - Top
DoMiNiX (Mordor) - Bottom

Overview:

A fairly typical isengard vs mordor game. Isengard went for some fast berserkers to a spam of fire-upgraded x-bows and combos later on. Mordor did the typical 2 pit orc spam to get map control and opted for a large army of combos and trolls.


Sonkraliniz

You had a poor early game and it hurt you for the rest of the game. You lost your lower mill to orcs and your top mill was rendered useless by gollum. On top of that you lost your uruk pit to orcs aswell. However you had a nice comeback and got your new pit leveled up fast to spam zerks and re-gain map control. I think your x-bows could have been utilized alot better though. You lost the main parts of some hordes to regular orcs due to lapses in micro and that hurt you when you were going for his base at the end. Speaking of which it was the right move to go for his base instead of his army; that would have been a losing battle. If you would have had an outpost the game might have been yours.
  • Don't let gollum own your mills. Make your laborers attack him.
  • Better base awareness. Losing your uruk pit because of lack of attention to your base is an early game-decider.
  • Improved x-bow micro.


DoMiNiX


You had a solid overall game. Good start by crippling his economy and taking out his uruk pit. It seemed though that you could have won this game alot sooner if you had been more agressive. There were orcs sitting around at times not doing anything. At your bottom mill you had 3 orcs guarding it for nearly the whole game. Send those orcs to creep or harass mills. You did a nice job of keeping map control with those orcs though and a very nice job of creeping the map with your trolls, i believe that won you the game. If you would have attacked sooner with your combos you would have won easily because he did not have an army at the time.
  • Early cashfloating. Grab those mills faster for a better economy.
  • Too many orcs sitting around and doing nothing. Harassment is key in this matchup.
  • Don't use darkness when rain is active, it will have no effect.
Overall Rating:4
