Battle for Middle Earth

PLayed against my mate huskarl, i used zoid's rohan strat. 70% of this game was played under rain, damn imbalances. Anyway, a good watch.

mine!

hey mates

teut
husk

RAGE is teh best

Hey Teutonic, really nice!

Very good microed... imo not the best strat, but funny to watch it . It's rare to see Rohan > Isen during rain... very good use of elendyl...

But i really cannot imagine game without Ents vs pro Isen...

GJ!

yeah .bagr agreed in most cases but this was a fun strat to use tbh

Sry, i can not review this replay - i have big problem with my BFME CD

too bad, anyone else?

I will take it.

RAGE^TeutoniC^ (Rohan) v RAGE^HusKarL (Isengard)

Map: Fords of Isen

RAGE^TeutoniC^ (Rohan)
Build Order: Farm In * 2 + Merry, Farm Out * 2, Stables, Rohirim, Theoden + Eomer, Horse Archers, Aragorn, Upgrades, Fire
PP: Draft, Heal, Anduril, Cloud Break

Good Build Order.
Remembered formations of Horse Archers.
Good use of Elendil.

No warg farms. Try using Merry to set up a farm on a build plot next to a warg pit. The wargs help defend the farm.
Try to save the creeps for Theoden unless Isengard is going after them.
Use GC more often when you get it.
Too cautious with Aragorn, retreating him when you didn't need to.
Kill the citadel earlier instead of going after the outer buildings. Then he can't rebuild when you are forced to retreat.

Comments: Rohan played OK. There was a good idea of a BO. You could have harassed the mills more agressively. Mid-game you could have deleted the well in your base because it was never needed again. When wiping out a camp take out the pit and the important buildings but get the citadel quickly instead of taking down too many towers and furnaces. Aragorn with Blademaster can take down a citadel very fast on his own. With the citadel down when you retreat to heal and regroup the Isen player cannot rebuild.

Rating: 5


RAGE^HusKarL (Isengard)
Build Order: Pit + 2 Mills, Furnaces, Xbows, Pikes, Ram Siege, Armoury + Upgrades, Xtra Pit
PP: Warchant, Industry, Freezing Rain

Extra mill workers. You should try getting a few more though. Try 5 extra at each mill.
Towers went up in response to the Rohirim appearing.
Ram rush showed a good idea of a strategy to start with.

Build more Xbows earlier instead of just getting 3 or 4 furnaces with no troop production.
Xbows never changed formation.
Ram rushed just a tad too early. You needed a couple more bats of pikes and more upgrades before you went in.
Poor Lurtz micro generally.

Comments: Isengard had an idea of a starting strat. The rush occurred just a bit too early. Rohan could have done nothing about it if Isengard had waited another minute before going in. After that Isengard lost the plot a bit and bad micro and formation use lost the battles on the field even though freezing rain was used. Ironically enough Isengard micro was much better when desperately defending the camp.

Match Comments

Just when you thought Isengard would ram rush another Rohan into the dust, it all goes horribly wrong. The strategies were clear and OK. The execution and micro of both players, but especially the Isengard player, just needs practise. Keep practising, you are almost there.
