smile.gif yeah the thing that won me this was that throughout your constant base attacks i was able to secure map control and spam out units/ballistas etc. Later on i had like 30-50k tongue.gif

but Saruman was awesome and was a deciding factor tbh

JT|Blaze (Gondor) vs. FoD}G4MROTH (Isengard)

Positions:

Northwest – Gondor

Southeast – Isengard

JT|Blaze:

BO – Horses > HS > Upgrades > Horses > Combos/Trebs > SW


Pros:

  • Some good horse/treb micro (Treb micro was darn good biggrin.gif )
  • Well-balanced final army
  • Fast/Aggressive HS rush (took down Warg pit, Siegeworks, and Pit)
Cons:

  • Defensive start
  • Bad strategy
  • Bad creeping (2/6 I believe)
  • Bad horse micro at times
  • Never tried to gain map control
Player Comments –

You played a pretty good game with some good micro at times but your start and strategy are definetly put into question. Always try to have an agressive start vs. Isen/Mord and put them on the defensive from the start to slow the oP economy. You made at one point an army of 6 horses vs isengard wacko.gif even though you knew he was fully camped at his base with pikes and wargs and by doing this, you allowed him to gain map control uncontested sad.gif . You should always try to gain a little bit of map before attempting to rush his base despite doing a good job the first few times. Next time, try spamming a few soldiers during early mid-game to help with map control and don't make that many horses.


FoD}G4MROTH:

BO – Uruk spam > Pike spam > Wargs > Upgrades > Combos > Siege Spam


Pros:

  • Good amount of extra laborers thumb.gif
  • Good creeping (4/6)
  • Good defense to HS rush
  • Had map control for about 95% of the time
  • Very quick Wargs
  • Pro Balrog usage bowdown.gif
Cons:

  • Very slow upgrades
  • Building placement
  • Bad protection of siege
Player Comments –

Very nice textbook game Gammy (especially the Balrog laugh.gif ). You played the game just about as it is written up on paper except for a few things imo. The quick wargs was good but when he got your warg pit, sometimes I would just reccomend getting upgrades first and then coming back to get more wargs because his FU knights just flat out pwn'd your 2-3 un-upp'd wargs 0wn3d.gif . I would also reccomend placing your pit one spot to the right. At the spot you put it in, it's got 3 sides that can be attacked from where as if you put it one spot to the right, it's still near the front for fast uruk pathways in the beginning but it's only got 2 sides it can be attacked from when you have a full base. Also, add some more pikes to your main army to help protect your mass ballistas from wandering horses.


Game Overview:

A nice game with some decent micro from both players in which Isen was forced into a camping stage due to the 6 horses from gondor 0wn3d.gif . However, with mc and a nice pike/warg spam, Isen was able to keep control of the game (despite appearing to be defensive for a long period of time) and wait for rog to defeat the half-camped Gondor. Entertainment was not that high due to the lack of pressure around the map and micro from Gondor's mass horses but overall a gg lads.

JT|Blaze: 5/10

FoD}G4MROTH: 6/10

Entertainment Rating: 4/10

Overall Rating: 5/10
