Was a good game i thought, not the best but worth a watch. I made a mess of a mumakil attack and should of stuck with 2 troll cages but i still won in the end. Review would be appreciated, thanks.

Starting positions:
Mordor/}SoC{RanDoMLy^ - West
Rohan/[FtG]|DS|Daz - East

Overview:

A rather different Mordor vs Rohan where Mordor was in control for the most part and trolls came very quickly. Rohan tried to counter with quicker archers and Eomer + Eowyn. After a failed base attack with Mumakil, resumed pumping out the trolls which in the end was too much for Rohan to cope with. GG Guys.


Mordor/}SoC{RanDoMLy^

Ok you were very fortunate to still have your bottom mill intact but used this econ advantage very nicely. Good use of early orcs to claim you a 3rd mill and then get some creeps under your belt. One key issue I saw here was that in several large battles your drummers were attacking with your trolls and so were not giving their LD. You need to make sure that they aren't attacking as this could cost you big-time in some circumstances. I would suggest more of a troll spam from early to mid game (as opposed to mumakil) but if you do use them they need some sort of archers in them to handle archers on the walls. With your drummer leadership they will be very powerful. On the whole though, nice game, good land spam knowing that he went for Anduril and very nice WK use (though dont forget his screech). GJ WP.
  • make sure you get industry asap as this is very important for your econ
  • make sure that drummers aren't attacking, dont give LD whilst attacking
  • more of a continued troll spam from early -> mid game
  • if using mumaks, you really need something in them (harads/archers)


Rohan/[FtG]|DS|Daz

You made a few crucial mistakes which cost you the game. You should have clearly killed hi mill with your peasants as he sent both starting orcs to your farm. But instead you fought around with orcs and gollum, you should focus attacks on the mill. You needed to make a couple of RA's to accompany Eomer & Eowyn in keeping troll numbers down. Eomer and Eowyn need to be higher ranked to kill a troll with their combined spears, use them to kill harassing orcs. You late game army should consist of RA's anyway, as you cannot beat mass trolls with full LD in a full on fight and so need to 'hit and run'. And a 2nd Stables?!?
  • send your 1st Peasants straight to attack mill - would have easily got it down
  • horse micro - made quite a few slip-ups
  • needed earlier RA's, to accompany Eomer & Eowyn to hunt trolls
  • more emphasis on RA's in late game

Overall Rating: 5
