Starting positions:
MOTW/Pmk|Drizzt/Team1 - West
Mordor/Pow|Bikini/Team2 - East

Overview:

A very nice game between two great players. Plenty of action, good use of heroes, good harassment, and excellent use of powers. Very entertaining for the most part in this classic matchup of Mordor vs Men of the West. The strategy displayed by motw was quite different, and worked quite well, a must watch if you have been crippled midgame by mordor.





MOTW/Pmk|Drizzt/Team1

Drizz you played a good game, one of the major flaws though was that early game troll creep, why didnt u let bikini kill the troll, and then run in and own the rhun and get the cash? His archers caused you major trouble, try and throw in a few cheap kniight batts, even if mos and naz r running around just dodge them. Your use of aragorn was good and you managed to down a lot of SH's with him. Well done with the rohhirim summon that bought you a lot of time to. I like how you never gave up and kept consistent pressure on him. Your stances and clumping were excellent, as was your use of powers.

Powerpoint Path
RC--->Arrow Volley--->Rohhirm--->Heal--->AOTD

• You cashfloated badly midgame, you had 2800k at one stage, aragorn would actually been ownage to get at that stage, he had absolutely nothing capable of countering him, but insted you chose rax spam while still cashfloating. You did however get aragorn later in the game while his only half decent counter was MOS.
• Poor use of elven warriors, try to keep them with some kind of support whether it be sog or tg's.Im referring to early game, midgame you started to use them very well in conjuction with aragorn.
• Wastage of some sog's and tg's. You know 2 sog's and a tg cant kill a barricade that has archers and orcs surrounding it, so flee until you have something capable of doing so.
• i know mordor had the upperhand late game, but u got desperate man and wasted a lot of sog's and pikeman attempting to down SH's when wk and naz+mos are around. You really need some rangers tg's and perhaps a few knights to take care of his archers.
• Forged blades? mordor heros >blades, again i think this was just a desperate attempt at getting him back, but nevertheless you never gave up so good work on that. That money couldv been spent on fire arrows because you managed to keep healing your elf warriors.
• AOTD summon, i dont even need to say what was wrong with your usage of this power.

Mordor/POW|Bikini/Team2



Blinki you played really well mate, your bo was good, giving you a balance between advancing to heros and defending yourself from sog spam at the same time. Your use of barricade was excellent, always co-ordinating it to kill tg;s so your naz could finish the job. Your creep steel at the troll lair was genious, well done at gave you a massive advantage in my opinion at a crucial time in the game. Excellent use of powers, disregarding the ROF cast, but take care of your heroes mate, especially the uber expensive ones. Overall well played congratz on the win.

Powerpoint Path
WC---->Barricade--->Wyrm--->ROF

• Idsle rhun near bottom left CT lair, should have been killing the inn or killing the troll before elf warriors came out.
• Your stances were a little slack as was your rhun-fighting-sog's at times. They could have run back just a short way to get archer support.
• Wasted WC just before arrow volley raped everything it had been casted on.
  You saw he had aragorn, and yet u bought the WitchKing, you knew he didnt have any rangers and that both his inns were destroyed, so why not buy mumakil instead? You would have been able to kill his remaining elf warriors with your heroes and kill any pikes and aragorn with mumas. Plus, they would have come much earlier than WK, they r only 1500 each now remember.
• Dont target aragorn with WK, does like 0 damage when in air, just kill the surrouding troops so that he has no support then he will hopefully flee.
• What exactly did u buy fire arrow upgrade for on the fort? In fear of rihhirim summon? A good choice if wk and mos were busy attacking, good job.
• WK has scream at level 6 but u didnt use it when rohhirim were owning all your UPB's.
• Could have saved MOS he was clearly on low health and couldv retreated easily.Same with witchking going solo vs aragorn and other troops.lol same with nazgul getting a 500 metre run up only to run hed first into pikeman
• BLinky, can you PLEASE capture the inns lol man he rebuilt it like 5 million times.
• Wha the **** was with the ROF casting, absolute waste, either use it before your going to siege a fort, or use ot if your desperate to rape an army, but never waste in on a few buildings like that.

Overall Rating: 6

ROTW Contender

Blinky's Mordor > my men + my host

Good game though

My men > Blinky's mordor + Blinky's host once OP forward siege base strat caught him totally off guard, I guess he was high and tired then as he lost to me O.o

So? You suck anyway

You too, moron

Y flm?

Watching

After rewatching it I dunno what I should have done to counter his archers around the base faster. Cav would have been countered by Nazguls... However, my AotD summon was kind of pathetic

Id like to review this if thats ok with u guys. Ive been looking for games involving goblins but it appears myself systematic and clever are the only ones who play them much.

This review might take a few hours, i like to do the job properly and give lots of feedback ok?

Done, guys im not to big on game conclusions and stuff but I pay attention to detail on my points. Hope you like it
