Actually think Gondor could and should have won it very early if he had gone 3 knights and HS straight after Faramir, instead of wasting mony on archers at the same time as getting stabel.

Knights with brothers and GG Gondor.
Grennes dident have that much units, and you did a good job cripple him with early faramir, so a fast HS rush would have killed him.
And the archers was just standing in base doing nothing for a long time so (but this can just be my rep. All grennes replays is "grey" and not shown properly so sorry if this isent accurate?)

And sometimes I think Grenness is to offensiv. Like tommynt said, you lost so many trolls that you souldent have.

Funny review,

Pro's- Getting Dol-Guldors castle to spew forth the minions of saruon including sauron himself was quite a feat, I must say, a sauron rush>aragorn rush.

Con's- The flight button on your workers would have been better used instead of just walking around, then thoughs pesky soldiers wouldn't have done so much damage.

SammyToon (Gondor) v Tereus (Mordor)


Map: Fords of Isen


--------------------


SammyToon (Gondor)

PP Order: Heal -> GtW -> elven Allies -> Eagle Allies
BO Start: 2 farms in, Pippin, 2 farms out
Strategy: Faramir -> Knights -> Archers/Fire -> Upgrades -> GtW -> Trebs


Pros and Cons

thum.gif Good harassment through the game
thum.gif Lvl 6 Faramir
thum.gif Lvl 4 Boromir
thum.gif Used Archer formations correctly

sad.gif Useless hobbit
sad.gif Poor creeping
sad.gif Made only one knight battalion and let stables useless
sad.gif Lost Faramir, Borormir and a Knight battalion to trolls, could have saved them though
sad.gif Didn't delete stables
sad.gif Knights trampling and fighting in Wedge

Comments:

You had a good strategy that was a bit delayed because you skipped 2 Knights. You should have gone for 3 Knights/HS -> fara + Archers, but you went nearly the inverse of this. Faramir is a good counter to early Mordor, yes, but 3 Knights + HS can destroy a Mordor base in seconds.

For your micro, was good at the beginning, then became each time worse. Mordor LD was big, that surely killed you, and your slow creeping too. You lost your army twice to trolls under LD, in once of these times (not the final battle on your castle) you lost Faramir and Borormir when you could have retreated Faramir AND Boromir.

To win, maybe a 3 HS'ed Knights Rush + Faramir could have ended him.

Rating: 4


--------------------


Tereus (Mordor)


PP Order: EoS -> TL -> industry -> Darkness
BO Start: Pit + Gollum, 2 Mills
Strategy: Orc/Harad Spam -> Creeping -> Trolls -> Outpost/Drummer Trolls/WK -> Siege


Pros and Cons

thum.gif Extra laborers
thum.gif Used Haradrim Formation
thum.gif Good creeping
thum.gif Good LD mixing

sad.gif No laborers at mill for a long time
sad.gif Poor harassment
sad.gif Lost some trolls cheaply
sad.gif Didn't mix Archers with Orcs for more bonus

Comments:


You used the best strategy vs Mordo, and got surprised with a very fast Faramir. But, as always, Mordor Late game >> Gondor Late game. With Darkness + Eye + WK + Drummer Trolls, tere was really nothing Gondor could do at that point.

Your micro wasn't wonderful, but was good enough to get 4/6 creeps and finally destroy his castle. GtW was also a big problem here, making you lose your trolls again and again, and killing your WK. But you had control ever htis and didn't give up, and that gave you the game, besides uber LD bonuses.

Rating: 5

Game Comments


A pretty cool Mordor v Gondor, but not funny enough to RotW. Some good strategies from both players.

Entertainment Value: 5

Game Rating: 5
