im not so sure, i thought u may cast balrog on me, so i purposly after aod was cast ran in2 your base for protection
and even if your base survived, my army was way op. but anyway thats why i liked this game so much, cause the viewers can make there own mind up of who would win!

G3RRARD (Rohan on left) vs Bluebird (Isen on right) Verion: 1.03 Map: Fords of Isen
G3RRARD (Rohan on left):
Bo: 2 Farm, 2 peastns, Stables, 2 Rohirim, fill with Farms, Armory, Well PP Progression: draft, heal, elves, anduriel, ents, aod, cloudebreak Strategy: fast Rohirim
Pros: + fast horses and used well + overall good buildorder + 5/6 creeps + kept stables for HS + 2 FU rank 10 Rohirim + lvl 6 Theo + good horse micro most game + GC use was good, espacially when killing combos + summon use was pretty good aswell
+/- aod to kill buildings
Cons: - peasnt use (huge con) - unused armory and buildplots for times - lost all mapcontrol to 2 unupgraded pikes - no mill harrasment midgame - horse healing - no map control most game when having supirior army
Comments: U went for a imo op buildorder, and used your starting horses very good - they leveled up superfast. Keeping stables to get HS later should imo also get to be standard in Rohan games, was very good idea, but weiredly it s seen not too often. Your 1 huge con what stoped u from winning easy was mapcontrol - u lost it to 2 pikes, just build a freaking peasant at out Farm as soon as u see a pike going there, it s finished in time to hold the Farm - these 4 mills kept Isen allive all game. For real, such a huge game and all u was missing were 2 peasnts. The peasnts u built in base were allways waste/ did lvl wargs, dont use em allone, they need ls and horse protection - have em just as a mix to your horses not as a 2nd army. Your horse micro was good most game but far away from perfect. Your well in back edge, was spotted bad what made u use some unhealed horses. AOD is a counter to units not to buildings, if u had used it on his Army/ balrog in the end instead in his base u d have won maybe imo, like that i m not sure, somehow i think that these horses in middle of base d have died and game been lost, u missed use ent summon aswell in end I think. Even when there are many very good points in the game, the bad/no peasnt use downgrades this to a medium performance imo.
Pros: + did hold both mills + small pike spam to get mapcontrol + mass towers to stop horses + mapcontrol all midgame + saved injured wargs kinda often + op to get attacking army + mine to kill Aragon
+/- no splitt up army in end
Cons: - starting BO - no creeping - lost lot of xbows and uruks feeding pp and experience - missed pike formation very often - balrog killing own army - wargs riding right into aod
Comments: Your bo gives u late pikes, no pressure and only medium eco I dont like it too much, consider maybe 3 uruk strat and only 1 xbow to get pikes faster out. these upgraded horses totaly pinned u in and u did decent job to stay allive - mill control helped a lot there. Overall a kinda medium performance, wargs came late but were used well then, Hero abilities were used well but then they lacked protection by times. In the end i d have not used combos as they suck in killing buildings, also wargs going for base instead his army was a bit weired in this main fight.
Rating: 5
General Notes on the game: Rohan using all it s op in start wasnt enough to decide game, Isen did good job to stay allive there, bit weired AOD/ Balrog use in end maybe. Both players did some stuff very good but struggled with some other. I was kinda entertained, but not too much. First imprssion is a 5 but maybe I think about and make it a ROTW contender. I have seen this no peasnt use to not counter pikes now too often.
Entertainment: 5
Overall Score: 5
