Starting positions:
NonStopPeak - Northwest
chyna - Southeast

Overview:

A very dragged out Gondor vs. Isengard where both players attempted to use "new" strategies that have been just recently been discovered. Gondor was clearly in control for a majority of the game. There were many battles throughout the map, but at the same time a lot of lacking micro around the map as well.

NonStopPeak - Gondor

Your BO for a soldier spam led to a very slow start. You really got lucky that Isengard's pathways and knowledge of this MU let your start work this time. You did however make a pretty smooth transition to knights and at a good time. Definitely be more aggressive however with your knights and harras first thing. The reason your soldiers are are to also protect while you creep later on. Main problem in this game I saw was your horse micro. You did a good job of constantly spreading his forces out but you lost many knights and high ranked for that matter. You also could have ended this game a lot sooner than you did. Once you destroyed his combo army, you should of known he had barely anything left by raiding his base. You had 4 fire trebs waiting in your base. Once again, a good job however of holding the map with a mix of TG's, soldiers, and knights supported by GtW.

chyna - Isengard

You started with the pit + furn + furn start which wasn't a bad idea but the lack of knowledge of this match up really hurt you. If you only saw one soldier when going through middle, you should have known he was coming from the south with his second. This set back your second mill and ultimately your economy. Almost 90% of all the early battles you had, you did not change your formation which made you lose a couple of uruk vs. soldier battles that you should have won. You also fought tons of battles that you should have known you would have lost. You fought against upgraded soldiers with pikes and as a result was forced to make many pikes and made you short of enough pikes for containment (you can't allow any type of break in containment unless you have wargs). Your PP route should always be WC, TL, then Rain or FtF. Never get Devastation unless it's a do or die situation. The main advice I would give you for this replay is more emphasis on MC. You need faster wargs (you can go upgrades first if you want), but skip fire and go straight to wargs. You want to be fast and aggressive with Isengard. If Gondor ever gets the upperhand, your in trouble tbh.


Overall Rating: 4

Thx for the nice review!

True enough i noobishly lost 2 horses at the start which was pretty bad and shouldn´t have happened. Still i was trying something there which ABSOLUTELY didn´t work with horses at that stage

Also for Chyna´s side i would say that taking rain in this game was not neccessary and he did a fabulous job in getting on the money side of the PPs as otherwise the game would have been over much earlier for real.

And Luan how about a game sometime?

Chyna didn't get rain.

We've met twice in QM before . But a more updated game would be fine, sure.
