DivA|Soul (Gondor) v Dream|Stonelord (Mordor)


Map: Fords Of Isen
Patch: 1.03


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


DivA|Soul (Gondor)
Build Order: 2 farm in and 2 farms out
PP: Heal -> Elves -> EW -> Eagles -> GTW -> Rohirrim
Strat: Knights -> Brothers -> Archers -> Uppgrades -> Treebs.

thum.gif Target workers first when harassing mills
thum.gif Good use of Pippin, even if you eventually lost him
thum.gif Proper use of formations
thum.gif Good constant harassing
thum.gif Killed Nazgul and WK
thum.gif Used the brothers lvl up ability on units
thum.gif Good pressure on his outpost, so you eventually could take it.

sad.gif Lost Boromir and Faramir
sad.gif A bit passive in mid game, you never dared to harass his camp or the northen outpost
sad.gif Bad eagle summon after you lost the outpost.


Comments: You started good and put pressure from start. Kept him away from your farms and made some damage to his mills. Got knights out and started to harass all over the map. Got both brothers, but slowly lost control of the map, when his trolls came. He took the bottom outpost and was able to brake your wall in an early stage. But after that you did really good in keeping him out of your castle, and constantly put pressure on his bottom outpost, never allowing him to get a good enough force up to siege. Eventually you took the outpost back and right there you had the golden opportunity to go on the offensive and possibly win the game. But you played it to careful and he could recover. Now you both played it passive , you tried to harass with knights and GTW, but then he put in his full force on your outpost. You lost it and as his PP progress was faster than you, there was no recover from there. Treebs came to late and so it was GG. You had really great eco, and treebs could have come earlier. Also Rangers fall easy to fire archers and when he has that many trolls, you need to take them out fast. Add in a nazgul and those Rangers weren’t enough. Maybe some soldiers to combine would have been able to make them survive longer, or even better TGs? You had the eco to do it that’s for sure. Still a very well played game by you. The passive mid game took away your opportunity to win, but you made very few mistakes and could have turned it if being just a bit more aggressive. Unfortunately, to be passive is a really costfull thing vs Mordor.

Rating: 7

Dream|Stonelord (Mordor)
Build Order: Pit + 2mills
PP: Eye -> TL -> Industry -> Darkness -> Balrog
Strat: Orcs+Haradrim -> Trolls -> Nazguls -> DT -> Catapults -> orc archers.

thum.gif Extra workers
thum.gif Scouted with a worker
thum.gif Good Gollum use to protect mills
thum.gif Killed Faramir and Boromir
thum.gif Took outposts fast and had haradrim in them to protect from knights
thum.gif Very good attack to take back outpost
thum.gif A really good siege with a mixed army and great LD.

sad.gif At one time walking a haradrim to close to a warg.
sad.gif Lost Nazgul and WK to foolish at time.
sad.gif Mumakils maybe wasn’t the best choice, never came in use.


Comments: A very good game by you. Held your mills in a good way and took over the map as soon as the trolls started to arrive. Killed his Boromir early and forced his archers from the wall with a nice use of the trolls. Got the wall down but then lost the pressure. You were pushed back to the outpost and had trouble in holding it. Several times it looked like you had lost it, and eventually you did. Was abit careless with Nazguls and WK at times when you lost them. You were in a bit of a danger when he had taken the outpost from you. But he stayed passive and gave you enough time to rebuild. You waited for the perfect moment to launch the attack on the outpost, and took it when he tried to harass the northen outpost with GTW and knights. You had a good mixed army with great LD and so it was no problem to take it back. PP progress was also very good and you were way ahead. The last siege was no problem but you had 2 Nazguls just hovering, at least one of them could have taken treebs out. But it wasn’t really needed since the Balrog came in and finished the job. A great game with very few mistakes. Abit passive play in mid game but it isn’t always a bad thing. You picked your moments, used your units in a good way. The mumkil pit maybe was a miss, you never really got to use it. One muma came out but fell easy to the fires. Catapults was a better counter to his Rangers.

Rating: 8

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


Comments: A very good game with very few mistakes. I cant really find any bigger once. It all came up to who was bravest of the two. Soul had a good opportunity to win but played to passive. Stonelord used a good mixed army to counter everything Soul could throw at him and had a much better PP progress. That in the end made it GG for Mordor in this very good battle. RoTW contender and promoted to Silver rep.

Fantastic game.

Why didn't Mordor attack with WK when Gandalf and knights were alone (no rangers)? Doesn't he have a lot of magic resistance? Clear this up for me plz... thx

I was suspecting rangers would be there. They have invisibility in forests after all.
