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.

Go to your Replays folder and change the rep name to something else than '000000x' like your is and then you'll get a review. Post it again in a new topic in this forum.
|ace|321 (|Rohan ): B.O:- 2 Farms in base, stable,farms,archery
Strat:- merry, pesants rush and harrasment, horse,theoden, legolas, aragorn, elves
P.P usage: Draft, Heal, Wood, Anduril,elves,ents
Pros:
good pesant rush Killed His pit 4 or 5 times got full map control early game even though you were in bottom spot Nice rush on his base maintained map control for the later half of the game left last hits on liars for theodin killed lurtz 3 times aragorn came in time when pikes broke in your base Cons:
lost 3 horse batts in isen base sent extra pesant batt to his base while he got a tower -> dead pesant Kinda late getting theodin lost legolas to pikes didnt make any upgrades to units other than fire and sheilds lost all your yoemen to 1 FU pikes
Comments:
I liked your theodin and horse micro even though you ran to pikes sometimes your performance wasn't too bad
P.P usage: warchant, industry, Tainted land, Tree resources(forgot its name)
Pros:
made extra laborers on mills decent harrasing during the game killed legolas got upgrades at decent time even though you got rushed used tainted land to counter his EW as soon as he laid his EW Cons:
lost lots of units unneccesarily horrible lurtz micro kept building uruk pit and it get destroyed 4 times when his horse rushed to your base i dont understand why you didnt get fire upgrade 2 pits at base? why? kept sending 1 batt of whatever to kill a whole army? very very late lurtz
PP: WC -> Industry -> TL BO Start: 2 furns, 2 mills Strat: Initial pike spam -> Upgrades -> 2 pit spammage of Uruks/Xbows/Pikes
ProsandCons
Extra laborers Good harassment Good base protection vs Rohan's early cavalry harassment Correct use of EW Used formations on Uruks/Xbows/Pikes
Poor/Slow creeping Spammed one single unit (pikes) a lot before your siege Poor siege micro/defence Why a 2nd pit? 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.

Poor/Slow creeping -> Try to get the creeps with 2 Xbows + One Uruk (if necessary) and get fast map control/PP Spammed one single unit (pikes) a lot before your siege ->Scout his base with Laborers and build the correct units before your siege Poor siege micro/defence -> Use one Pike and one Xbow battalion (better if mixed) to protect your rams/ballistas 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 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 Prosand Cons
Good harassment at his base with cavalry Lvl 4 Theoden Good counters use, but spammed a lot before Good creeping Scouted with Rohirrim
Lost Merry at his base when you could have cloaked him there One unit spammage (rohirrim) Lost a lot of Rohirrims at his base when you didn't need to Poor Rohirrim micro Trampled in Wedge a lot (even Pikes) Used Yeomen vs Pikes before Fire 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 yourConsbecomePros
Lost Merry at his base when you could have cloaked him there ->Always look for an opportunity to scout. One unit spammage (rohirrim) -> You should have stopped spamming Rohirrim to his base and creep with them faster 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 Poor Rohirrim micro ->Remember that Rohirrim unupgraded without leadership are weak, and will die easy to arrows Trampled in Wedge a lot (even Pikes) ->Never trample in wedge Used Yeomen vs Pikes before Fire -> Only use them after you purchase Fire Arrows, and with some Peasants to help own Pikes 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.
But my doubt cleared up as the match went along, and a little bit more confidence came
