I played horrible in this game tbh 0wn3d.gif , especially the beginning broke my neck cos u got 2 lvl 2 soldiers and i had no chance killing them anymore post-13661-1143531603.gif . That was the time i knew i can't win this game anymore.
But still very good played from Gerrard. thum.gif

Starting Possitions
Gondor / Gerrard – West
Mordor / Hannibal – East

Overview

A good demonstration of the double soldier rush, following this up with quite a nice horse shield rush. Constant harassment the whole game and Mordors bad start meant that he could never really get in to this game which Gondor always looked to win.

Gondor / Gerrard

Your start was very nice getting two rank two soldiers which allowed you to take and control Mordors outside farms from the start, also hid soldiers so used them later to harras. Your creeping and harassment was very good getting 5/6 creeps. When you went in for your horse shield rush you had elves to counter trolls thumb.gif , though I thought you didn’t not use the elves very well, and lost them because they were clumped up chasing the troll, if you had held them back from the base you could have covered the troll cage for knight to attack and I think you could have ended it there. You were always in control of this game but I felt you were far too passive, much of the time his base was unguarded with very few towers so you could have done much more damage there. I also felt that your attempted attack on his outpost where he had his trolls and muma was not to good, spread archers out more so they don’t all get trampled, and boromire would have helped here against the trolls.

Mistakes / things to improve

• Lost a knight to a troll 0wn3d.gif , hampering your harassment
• Better use of elves
• Be more aggressive with knights to attack Mordors base, especially when he had so few trolls and you had gandy.
• Don’t cash float so much, doing this for much of the game
• Later game could have taken outpost and maybe spammed some more horses to harass his base since were no troll there.

Mordor / Hannibal

In my opinion you should have bought gollum first and sent him to find and harass soldiers, this way you would have known he was coming through the middle and been able to group your orcs at your bottom mill ready. Never attack soldiers with orcs one at a time just ranks them up wacko.gif and I think you should have used eye earlier. Most Gondor’s won’t use land to counter since will slow down getting much needed gandy pp. After this bad start you were quite behind in terms of getting trolls out. You did good harassment with orcs and trolls initially to get some map control back and managed to kill one of his horse battalions. Again I think you should have been using smegal to scout his base and you would have seen gandy the grey and not lost another troll to him. I think you should have concentrated more on massing trolls and keeping them together, much of the time they were going around on there own and were easy targets. You went for mumas, but I think this was a waste of the very little money you had and if Gondor had been more aggressive while you were trying to defend that outpost could have taken your base.

Mistakes / things to improve
• Smegel use, better scouting with him.
• Make sure you attack soldiers with lots of orcs at same time, therefore they don’t get to level two.
• Mass trolls together with drummers, very difficult for Gondor to handle, give them some rocks.
• In my opinion should have got more trolls and not spent the money on muma.
