I was very impressed on this i thought going into it , this would be very short game as i dont fair to well againt isenguard.
But my doubt cleared up as the match went along, and a little bit more confidence came

Nice little battles and the use of pretty much all types of units make it a good replay to watch.

PeTeR_TeH_KiNg's Review

GFHKnightLite(Isengard) vs |ace|321(Rohan)


Map: Rohan
Version: 1.03

GFHKnightLite(Isengard)

PP: WC -> Industry -> TL
BO Start: 2 furns, 2 mills
Strat: Initial pike spam -> Upgrades -> 2 pit spammage of Uruks/Xbows/Pikes


Pros and Cons

thum.gif Extra laborers
thum.gif Good harassment
thum.gif Good base protection vs Rohan's early cavalry harassment
thum.gif Correct use of EW
thum.gif Used formations on Uruks/Xbows/Pikes

sad.gif Poor/Slow creeping
sad.gif Spammed one single unit (pikes) a lot before your siege
sad.gif Poor siege micro/defence
sad.gif Why a 2nd pit?
sad.gif No scouting made you waste a lot of money sieging in Mid game

Comments: Your Early game wasn't good. You started getting some map control, but then started to lose it and your try to regain it was killed by Rohirrim pressure constantly in your base. You protected it really well, using WC on Xbows and towers in strategical positions to kill them.

Your Mid game, however, was pretty good. You bought upgrades a little late, but that's acceptable because of the constant harassment of your economy. Then you started to build siege and spam pikes for killing him. But, due to no scouting, you didn't know what to fight against and lost all your army/ siege weapons.

Then we come to late game, where you started to rebuild your whole army. It was constantly getting killed by GC, then you built a 2nd pit and started spamming more and more. Ents came, killed basically your whole army of pikes and laborers, then Ara came with Elves and killed the rest of it.


How to make your Cons become Pros

sad.gif Poor/Slow creeping -> Try to get the creeps with 2 Xbows + One Uruk (if necessary) and get fast map control/PP
sad.gif
Spammed one single unit (pikes) a lot before your siege -> Scout his base with Laborers and build the correct units before your siege
sad.gif
Poor siege micro/defence -> Use one Pike and one Xbow battalion (better if mixed) to protect your rams/ballistas
sad.gif
Why a 2nd pit? -> If you see you need to spam faster, get an outpost and build 3 Uruk pits there to spam fast without wasting a building plot in your base
sad.gif
No scouting made you waste a lot of money sieging in Mid game -> Scout with laborers

Rating: 3

|ace|321(Rohan)

PP: Draft -> Heal -> Elven Wood -> Elven Allies -> Ent Allies
BO Start: 2 Farms in, Merry, 2 Farms out
Strat: Rohirrim spam -> Aragorn/Legolas -> Ents


Pros and Cons

thum.gif Good harassment at his base with cavalry
thum.gif Lvl 4 Theoden
thum.gif Good counters use, but spammed a lot before
thum.gif Good creeping
thum.gif Scouted with Rohirrim

sad.gif Lost Merry at his base when you could have cloaked him there
sad.gif One unit spammage (rohirrim)
sad.gif Lost a lot of Rohirrims at his base when you didn't need to
sad.gif Poor Rohirrim micro
sad.gif Trampled in Wedge a lot (even Pikes)
sad.gif Used Yeomen vs Pikes before Fire
sad.gif No upgrades

Comments: You started really well, got most of map control and harassed his base a lot, slowing his economy while you had a great boost in yours. That was the moment to creep, not to harass... even though in this case it was helpful.

Your Mid game was good too, but your Theoden was too late. Same to Yeomen, they should have come out faster, and only used with Theoden's leadership and with Fire Arrows.


Your Late game was ownage over him. Everytime he had a little bigger army then 3 units, your GC owned it. This way all over last 8 minutes, until you get Ent Allies and use it at his base.

How to make your Cons become Pros

sad.gif
Lost Merry at his base when you could have cloaked him there -> Always look for an opportunity to scout.
sad.gif
One unit spammage (rohirrim) -> You should have stopped spamming Rohirrim to his base and creep with them faster
sad.gif
Lost a lot of Rohirrims at his base when you didn't need to -> Best to do with them at that point is to creep
sad.gif
Poor Rohirrim micro -> Remember that Rohirrim unupgraded without leadership are weak, and will die easy to arrows
sad.gif
Trampled in Wedge a lot (even Pikes) -> Never trample in wedge
sad.gif
Used Yeomen vs Pikes before Fire -> Only use them after you purchase Fire Arrows, and with some Peasants to help own Pikes
sad.gif
No upgrades -> They are always useful, and you had some cash left in the Mid/Late game

Rating: 4

Match Comments: A Rohan early ownage vs Isen and then Isen tried to stand in Mid game and then Rohan ownage again, at the end.

Entertainment: 3

Overall: 3

P.S.: I post it here but it won't count as an unnoficial review of mine, even though it is unfair to take other people reviews.
