Review by: Jase
West: MadEye
East: Fitton
2.2

Overview:

This game was quite good overall, just a plain mirror where Fitton took the game to Madeye after using a better strategy in the end Luna got Balrog used bombard and finished MadEye's base.

[DA]MadEye/Mordor
I thought your Corsair start was working but I think it can easily be countered by a major orc spam, you really need to make sure where you place your Harad palace as its kind of a waste of money if you build it and gets destroyed. You weren't actually able to harass which was the slight problem here, if need be get a Pit to counter the Archers with your Archers. You needed to concentrate on getting around the map with Corsairs but you struggled to do so, you needed to creep more than you did your Eco was quite poor. Fitton had a great advantage over you because of this, you really need to mix units and seprate battlions to harass to try to out more RB's. Fitton took full MC and you didn't do anything about it, never place land in a Mor mirror first because Fitton covered each time you did it and you already had a debuff in armor and attack. Your stances were excellent and expansion was good all the way through the game.
    Improvement points:
  • Harassment - Attack from 3 different sides, seperate your units and attack 1 on each RB to take it down and then move onto the next.
  • Unit choice - You needed to mix more units, mass orcs is a key to this matchup soon as someone goes 3 pits they will counter Corsairs easily.
  • Defense - You needed something around your backline like Archers and not just Nazguls, try to work on this and you'll stand more chance of keeping your RB's up and safe.

    Fitton/Mordor
    You needed abit more spam Imo from 3-4 pits then you could have got Archers and mass orcs to harass quite easily, this would have enabled you time to creep a little later but also cripple your opponent. Try to keep your Naz behind your units and in defence stance, then he won't just run into pikes like he did I thought your creeping was excellent taking every creep (except for trolls) this gave you extra resource. The main problem was unit mixing here, you could have maybe invested in a Tavern and got Corsairs or Trolls, just take the advantages when they are there and your in control. Your Expansion was great but try to work on stances a bit more late game, you used them correctly early game but this went of the window during mid game. Your PP usage was well thought of and won you the game but mixing using and separating harass from 3 different sides at a time if possible, but you need to create a lot of spam first from the Pits. Don't forget Orcs win Mordor Mirrors.

    [list]Improvements Points:
  • Unit Choice - I thought you needed more Orc Pits really, 1 isn't really enough to keep your opponent under constant pressure.
  • Defence - You just needed to sort your back line out also, always keep 2 Archers and orcs at the back so at least you can keep making money from these RB's.
  • Formations - You really needed to keep up with stances, these can make you win or lose battles most of the time.
Game Rating: 4
