Ok, my friend and I wanted to see if this match up is a little unfair like some have claimed to the elves advantage. It just so happens that my best team is the Goblins and his the Elves, so we pitted them agaisnt each other. I nearly lost mid way through, just go a little lucky and was able to pull out the win. I was really hoping we could get a review for this, it would help both of us tremendously. Thank you so much in advance,

Gage

Removed "{review}" from title as this is a QM game (you only need it in CW section, also read the pinned topic there),

smile.gif Good pressure;
smile.gif Used Mines to transport your troops.

CONS

sad.gif Wasted some early Bats;
sad.gif Lost heroes often;
sad.gif Barely used clumping;
sad.gif Cashfloat.

Player note: 6/10
Player summary: I must say you KNOW how to play Goblins. Pressure, spam, covering the map, flanking everywhere, etc. Good job! Let's look now at your cons: you wasted some early Bats in the game, for example when you attacked a Lórien Archer with one Goblin Warrior, you used Bats and your Warrior got raped in secs. You should bring them where you REALLY need help. Not a big con though, stil didn't really matter. Also: you lost heroes often. Drogoth twice, Gorkil and Shelob sometimes too. You have to cover them more, because Elven upgrades are really powerful. ph34r.gif Keep Drogoth behind troops, Gorkil and Shelob leading them. One important thing: you didn't, or barely, clumped. You used stances, but to keep their maximum effectiveness, clumping is a great thing that helps alot vs buildings. And finally, cashfloat. Well, since you had a strong economy, kept up the spam and always got pressure on him, it's difficult to ALWAYS spending money. Some tips while you fight and you have like... 8000$: build forts, defenses, spam like crazy (hotkey your buildings), etc. wink.gif

Build Order: Mallorn > Mallorn > Barrack > Mallorn > Archer > Warrior.
PowerPoints Path: Farsight > Heal > Tom Bombadil > Arrow Volley > Rally Call > Ents > Eagles > Mist.
Strat: Warrior + Archers, fast Haldir, fast Treebeard, Lancers, Upgrades, mixed army, Thranduil...

PROS

smile.gif Claimed outposts whenever you can;
smile.gif OK use of stances;
smile.gif OK early-game expansion;
smile.gif Very fast Ent Moon;
smile.gif Treebeard supporting Ents;
smile.gif Creeped;
smile.gif Ent raids to his fort;
smile.gif Eagles killing Drogoth.

CONS

sad.gif Lost Haldir many times;
sad.gif Lost some builders;
sad.gif No support to Ents;
sad.gif Lack of harass;
sad.gif Didn't get enough heroes.

Player note: 5/10
Player summary: In overall you played a decent game. You defended well, you tried to pull of his harassment, etc. But there is room to improvements. Let's start. Firstly, you lost Haldir many times. Again here, like I said to your mate, get a better support to your heroes, they are crucial to win the game (without saying that Elves are the second heroes-dependant faction). You lost also some builders in the game, wasting your economy badly. Always hide them near your base, and when you are about to build something, try to bring Archers or Lancers, in case of some Goblin scout. Your Ents raiding were a great idea, but you didn't support them well. When you summon them or bring them from the Ent Moon, always bring some Archers + Haldir, Lancers, etc., to protect your Ents. Without Ents, there would be no harass from your side. With your mate's economy, you should have harassed more with Lancers. They are fast, deal great damage with FBs. And finally, I think you didn't use enough heroes. Haldir was great as a early leader, but Legolas or Glorfindel mid-game could have helped. You got Thranduil a bit late. Vs a faction like Goblins, I suggest you Haldir, Legolas and Thranduil as your first heroes. After, you can get Elrond, Glorfindel and even Arwen with her powerful Flood power and her uber Athelas. wink.gif

Game note: 6/10
Entertaining: 6/10
Skills: 5/10
Game summary: A great game here. Maybe not as good as a RotW (because of the mistakes) but still a good and fun watch. Pretty long game, many battles on the wild lands of Withered Heath. Things to notice: the strenght of the Goblins, such as crazy spam, expansion with Mines to transport troops, flanking, speed, etc. I'd give it a 6. smile.gif
