Battle for Middle Earth

Aahh ok, but if you wanna be a RR, go to this topic in the 1v1 section. You do a test review, you post it in that topic and then you get feedback on that review from DAemon or Jobbies. THen you do a new one etc. You do at least 3 test reviews and then you become a RR.

when you do a test review, just post and say that you wanna review this game as your 1, 2, 3 test reviwe and it will be ok

Aye aye purpose!

PayBackIsNasty(Random/Isengard) / SiRSoX (Random/Rohan)

v

Dartagnani (Isengard) / Jarolin (Rohan)

PayBackIsNasty (Isengard) / SiRSoX (Rohan)

PP selection: WC-->Palantir-->Land-->Rain-->Balrog-->Fuel the fires-->Devastation / Draft-->Heal-->Land-->Ents
B.O: 2 farms in, 1 out, hobbit / Pit, 3 mills
Strategy: Peasent spam--> Theo-->Rohirrim-->Combos-->Upgrades-->Heroes-->Elves / Uruks-->Upgrades-->Lurtz-->Uruk/X-bow combos-->Saruman-->Seige

Pros:
Extra mill workers
Shared powers like WC
Very fast GC
Fast Upgrades
Nice hero micro (did get sloppy towards the end)
Used Theo's "Kings Favour" ability

Cons:
Used starting X-Bows to attack Merry (Nearly lossed them)
Took Isen a very long time to get his 3rd mill
Late formations on uruks sometimes
Missed out on killing lurtz early game and stealing lair
Don't build SH, go all furns
Poor communication when attacking middle
Never bought the "industry" pp (you needed this, considering the amount of times u needed to rebuild army)
Overall micro

Comments: You started off very slow but done good to get down the enemy mills/farms. Rohans unusual b.o worked well this time, allowing him to get a very fast GC, but unfortunately you didnt make the most of it and only used it once In my opinion, instead of just massing up combos, you would of done better by getting rohirrim and RA, these would of been much more effective and stronger with GC. Isengard made a bad choice when combining his uruks with x-bows, they would of done alot more damage if they were seperate. Your start was the worse of the 2, you never got your third mill until 10-15 minutes into the game and you also lossed another one of your mills, you ALSO then allowed his hobbit to further disrupt your econ when he killed your labourers. When you both eventually decided to attack the middle, your communication was poor, your first attack was better, but the second you made a very bad choice in splitting up your armies ( you needed the combined ld badly). You summoned you ent pp directly next to the rohan castle, but didnt even use them until there time limit was half gone... you need to have more map awareness throughout the game.

Overall Score: 4


Dartagnani (Isengard) / Jarolin (Rohan)

PP selection: WC-->Industry-->Rain-->Balrog-->Land / Draft-->Heal-->Anduril-->Land-->Ents-->AoD-->Elven Allies-->Cloud Break B.O: 2 farms in, 2 out, hobbit / pit + furn , 2 mills
Strategy: Peasent spam-->Full farms-->Lego+Ara-->Mid-->Yeoman-->Theoden-->Elves / Uruks-->Lurtz-->Upgrades-->Pike/X-bow combos-->Saruman-->Uruks-->Seige

Pros:
Extra mill workers
Very nice hobbit usage
Got middle fast(ish)
Very good defending of middle
Nice assault on the isengard castle, and taking the rohan walls down
Crucial balrog summoning placement
Rank 10 Lego+Ara

Cons:
Very slow upgrades from both players
Cash floating
Isengard didnt make the most of his "Industry" pp
Lossed Saruman very easily
No use of beacons
No proper use of formations
Generally poor hero micro

Comments: You started off fast and hit the enemy hard, taking down their early economy, Rohan made the better start and continued to try and harass further into the game. Your choice of timing on getting the middle was very risky, if your opponents had a better mixed army you could of lossed it almost instantly, but once you had it you defended it very well. Nice troll creeping from you both, but very risky because neither of you had armies for some time. You had several chances to finish this game much earlier but you never took the chance to attack and finish it, you did however make a nice assualt on the isen castle and almost took him out. You did'nt really make the most of your summon ents ability and they were generally wasted. Isengard needs to be more fast and use his rain instantly a battle starts.

Overall Score: 5

Final Comments:

A VERY long and passive game from both teams, where they tended to build up their armies before they risked an attack. The pp usage from both teams was questionable seeing as Payback never got industry and Dartagnani really never used his industry. The overall micro played by both teams was poor but there was some moments of nice skill and micro. The balrog use/micro by PayBack was pretty poor and i would suggest you check out Str8 Razors "Balrog for dummies guide". When Payback first got his balrog, he could of won the game for them, there and then but he never used his balrog fully. A reasonable game played by both teams, but team 3 just generally out played team 2 with some slightly better micro/macro.

Overall Game Rating: 4
Entertainment: 6
