I've been practicing offline allot and watching replays and well this is the reward. I was rank 730 at the time but it should be lower now that I won this match plus like 3-4 more. Anyways it was an awesome match to play (and win ) and I think it's very entertaining. There's always another level of skill so a review + rating would be useful. Enjoy ok.
Overview This game was amazing it went back and fourth all the time Men started early game looking like an early winner, but Gobs came back and played one brilliant game to redeem himself. Gobs summons won him the game but they were used very carefully and eventually payed off so Gobs won worth a watch if you like enterainiment!
smessed_up Your start wasn't so good as Men knew how to counter your early game, you did very well to counter Tom B summon + Boro/SoG + Tg your Wildmen summon owned his army and you killed Boromir which was a good sign. When you took control you have to send units everywhere with Goblins, like 2 batts over the right to over left for example, because this guy had the map full of farms which you have to stop and Goblins have enough spam to do so. You kept Motw in his base and you started to gain control for the first time, and taking the map slowly but i was worried when you still left the farms at the top left side of the map. They were making alot of cash for him, always make sure he has none in them kind of areas and you gain control over there when you can. A very good RoG summon which took your enemy base out, his heroes were keeping the Motw in this game still, you Drogoth was a key part to taking down the Cav and you kept doing this throughout, wearing down your opponent bit by bit your wildmen summones were used correctly at the right times. This game was turning againt you as AoD summon came, but this needed a backup army ready which you should always make sure its on build all the time. Also make sure all your Gob Caves are at lvl 3 when your this alte in the game so you can defend that bit easier from Men attacks. Motw used earthquake really not a good idea as this didn't cripple you that much, you took the fort out with the 2nd Rog which was well done, i didn't expect that from Men further on your PP usage very good to finish another Fortress and you kept patience here as it was a long game.
What this player/team can improve upon: When you took control you need units all over the map Always expand in the empty space where you haven't already built Always have a back-up army on build
ZeZD3C Your start was good and stance usage also, and with Tom B summoned looks or so you win from here but with Gobs countered your attack your Knight micro become sloppy. You lost your army and Boro then you lost your production buildings, but kept in there while under alot of pressure from Gobs, but you always had something in your base that was able to counter your opponents army. Goblins spam was proving to much for you, but what you should have done is try Rangers also with Fire if you could of, then maybe Aragorn after that, put ofcourse Pike support. Men need lots of different mix of units this is vital especially vs Gobs who always make different types of Units all the time. You managed to defend Rog quite well with heroes dispite losing Production buildings all the time, you lost heroes due to Gorkil being a good hero at lvl 8 and Drogoth killing Knights with ease. You couldn't keep up with his spam and you were losing this game by a long way, as each attack got closer for Gobs victory. When you are in this situation you need to push out and take control again by harassing as much as possible, even when under pressure this tests skills abit aswell as nerves. But your awareness has to be there also to actually acheieve doing both, by defending successfully and harassing quite well. AoD defended your base again but still your kept dieing, you needed a change in strat by getting more heroes maybe to counter the mass Goblins or at least upgrades. Don't use Earthquake unless your going to attack striaght after its been used else that is a waste of power points really, your fort went down then you rebuild another one. Aragorn was here in late game, but didn't do much damage as you never really attacked anyway your summons were all used definsively which wasn't a good thing ofcourse. You couldn't get out of your base since the start you had a very good one then Gobs came back and punished you for your mistakes, very good game in the end though.
What this player/team can improve upon: Try keep heroes alive Maybe build Rangers to kill Gobs/Lings Try keep production buildings alive all game

Thanks. Though against you my biggest weakness came into play. Sometimes in those pressure situations I just throw out everything I know of and just try to take on the enemy instead of going for economy .
But even if I had played better I still think you would have won (Nazgul riding around in withered heath ).

Very very long game, but good. Goblins should have won way way sooner. I found both to build towers so early and made for a stale contest for 75% of it.
I would have left such a game long before it would have lasted so long.
. Good job beating him, keep up the good work
