Game summary::
Overall a nice game between the forces of light and the forces of light, but unlike the movie this time the forced of evil lured the forced of light into a deadly trap, called Tainted Land and fighting your own battles.


Mordor/ PoW|Reflex/Team1 – West

BO: Slaughterhouse x2 / Ork Pit x2 / Ork x4
PP path: Tainted Land / Industry / Forged Blades

Overall you played very well, you forced your opponent to fight YOUR battles (on Your land, on his base) and put him on the defence so you could expand almost freely and your huge economy won you the game in the end.

• Next time when you see your building opponent a stable start building pikes immediately, your pikes where out a bit late and that cost you a dozens of orks.
• Don’t forget your PP’s in late game, your second industry was cast very late, and with industry time = money.
• next time get your Forged blades faster, cause corsairs with FB win you the MU more easily then a mumakill does (even though they both work, corsairs to it faster imo)
• Next time Boromir attacks your Mumakill, just set 3 steps back warts to kill him (see second Screen shot)

MotW/ AoW|Celeborn /Team2 - East

BO: Farm / Barrack (at warg lair of course)/ Farm / Tower guard
PP path: RC(?!) / Tom Bombadil / Rangers (No Elven wood)

While, you started with the usual cav-in-a-flash strategy, but this time instead of starting to destroy his buildings, you started to trying to kill his units, on HIS tainted land, you did this all game long, and never ever sacrificed 5 PP to overcast his land with your own and win the major battles, casue or you move away, or you overcast, but fighting major battles on your opponent’s land is suicide (see Screen Shot 1 and even SS 2).

• Choose your own battles, don’t fight his, cause you will lose fighting most battles on his land.
• Don’t try to kill his units, but destroy his buildings instead, if you would have destroyed both ork pits and the Industry SH, Victory could be yours

Overall Rating: 5

SS 1:




SS2:

Motw never looked like a threat in this game, was fairly ownage imo.

Imo i wouldn't say it was "Ownage."

Who, haven't said this in a way to long time: MINE

Done

Thanks.
