Grennis (Mordor) v Alpha|BeornHawk (Rohan)

Grennis (Mordor)

B.O- Pit, Gollum, 3 mills
PP Selection- Eye--> Land--> Industry-->Darkness
Strat- Orcs spam--> Trolls--> Combos--> Drummers--> WitchKing--> Trolls/Combos

Pro's
Fast troll cage and trolls
Excellent creeping (4/6)
Good start and harrassment
Whole MC throughout most of game

Con's
Built cage in a vulnerable place
Lossed alot of trolls to Eomer, Eowyn and Rohirrim Archers
Strange land placement, didnt make the most of it while you had the land advantage

Comments- Your early game was exceptionally good and you kept the pressure on the opponents economy, and you kept this pressure up throughout the whole game. You had nice early trolls and you crept with them excellently and also gained MC with them very well. You switched to combos early on which might of been risky if rohan was quicker on his toes and scouted more and you also had extra econ to keep both trolls and combos pumping out at a steady pace which was good. You could of won this game much sooner if you scouted the Rohan castle more/better. If you sent your starting troll straight to his castle, he had nothing to prevent you from taking a wall segment down, or at least you could of hurt his econ by making him purchase an arrow tower. You lossed waaaaaaaaaay too many trolls to Eomer/Eowyn, which allowed Rohan to rank his heroes and units up more then they should of.

Rating- 6/10

Alpha|BeornHawk (Rohan)

B.O- 2 farms in, Merry, 1 farm out
PP Selection- Draft--> Heal--> Elven Wood
Strat- Peasent spam--> Rohirrim--> 4 Statues--> Theo/Eomer/Eowyn--> Upgrades--> Rohirrim Archers

Pros
Nice Eomer/Eowyn abuse
Got GC
Killed alot of trolls and combos

Cons
Built stable with only 3 farms for income- insufficient funds - waited a while before buying your first rohirrim
Poor creeping (2/6)
Poor harrassment
Micro/Macro

Comments- Your early start wasn't so good, with you not inflicting major damage on mordors econ and then alos losing one of your farms and then being put under pressure from the start by the orc spam. You chose to go for a stable after only 3 farms but in my opinion it would of been better if you had bought 1 more farm and then stable to keep your econ at a better rate. With your starting rohirrim, it would of been better to go straight to mordors mills and harrass, due to your failed peasent spam, so you can atleast slow mordor down a little bit but you chose to creep instead which is fine but not at good. You then further crippled yourself by buying 4 statues and then 3 heroes which were used well but could have been used better. You then further cripples yourself even more by buying an armoury and then not even buying upgrades until 10-15 minutes later. Once you let mordor get passed his early game and get a good army built up while you only had a minute group there was little you could do to prevent mordors assaults. You did however do well to pick off several trolls with Eomer/Eowyn.

Rating- 3/10

Final Comments-

A reasonable game where the was plenty going on throughout the game, but it was still very one sided in mordors favour from the start. This game could of been rated higher if the rohan player put up more of a fight, never the less a nice game. This is a must watch game for any mordors who are struggling in this match up. Even though Rohan didnt use the traditional rohirrim>Ara>Ents strat, mordor would of still had 3-4 trolls or more by the time Ara had arrived.

Overall Rating - 4
Entertainment - 4
