Tweety (Isen on left) vs TR|Hosaf (Gondor on right)
Verion: 1.03
Map: Fords of Isen


Tweety (Isen on left)

Bo: 2 Furn, Pit, Uruk, 2 Furn, 2 xbows, Pikespam, 3 wargs, upgrades
PP Progression: Chant, Land, Rain
Strategy: pikespam to wargs

Pros:
+ saved millbuildplot for soem time
+ Towers in time to protect base
+ decent done pikespam
+ stole 2 creeps with pikes
+ upgrades in time
+ saved 2 leveled combos
+ decent timeings of chant and Rain

Cons:
- no early harrasment of Farms
- hobbit killing xbow
- no xbow protection
- Lurz not pinning Boro
- wargs fighting upgraded Knights
- loosing leveled wargs fighting Boro
- late balistas
- few FU Uruks

Comments: A decent game from u. In start u should send 1 uruk to take his Farms, make his Knights more expensive and force hobbit to defend. U cant do much gainst these soldiers in wood, just give Godor this mill, but take his Farms for u and wait for xbow to kill soldiers when going for 2nd mill. U did a decent pike spam and stole 2 crreps and got some Farms, but could never stop his well microed Knights. U did well to take out 1. attack with wargs and combos but was never able to kill brothers, normal uruks or balistas d have done a great job there, I dont agree too much on pike/xbow combo when fighting TG Rangers Elves and brothers. Basicly u lost game when fighting Boro with wargs, giving him ls and loosing em. Boro with knockback is direct counter to wargs, he s a lil Aragon and should be pinned right away and not be fought by melee units. Afterwards there wasnt much u could do gainst all Gondor LS, powerful army and summons. Consider using more normal Uruks, and target TG right away with em, they can take lot of damage and open field for wargs, and balistas to kill heros from distance.


TR|Hosaf (Gondor on right):

Bo: Farm/ BS, Farm, out Farm, Stables, 2 Knights, combos, Brothers, Ranger and TG
PP Progression: Land, Heal, Elves, Birds, AOD
Strategy: Usual Gondor anti Isen

Pros:
+ soldiers into wood fast
+ Knight micro/ harrasment
+ Boro 1. hero
+ combos to counter Pikes
+ upgrades for Knights in time
+ never lost Brothers
+ spam of powerful units

Cons:
- left wood with 1 soldier
- bit late soldiers to counter pikes
- no wood spam
- no upgrades for combos
- outpost without protection
- missed heal for Gandalf
- no use of Fara lvl up and Boros horn

Comments: A Gondor played the totaly right way imo. Early pressure on mills, good Knight harrasment, combos to attack as fast as possible. But weiredly u didnt upgrade combos/ lost em on purpose, I d not do that, sure Rangers and TG are more powerful, but wasting units is never a good idea. Your micro in fights was decent, but not perfect u could have saved more troops by going back by times. In the end u used all Gondor OP, even when Gandalf not too well.


Rating: 6


General Notes on the game: A kinda highly skilled Game, both players going normal good strats. Isen chossing some wrong fights and Gondors better cavalery micro did decide game in end. Close to 6.

Entertainment: 5

Overall Score: 5
