Kk OP guardians rape my base. So a review on what i coul dhave done better with gobs maybe?
But i get back on my feet (somewhat, ffs he's EVERYWHERE on the map) and i manage to spam random goblin caves and although i can't gain map control myself, i keep him from taking it. It got to late game soley on the fact i kept his CP down so his BW wouldn't come out + then i killed forge works, twice, before he managed to finally get one out wacko.gif. REVIEW PLEASE!

EaE|Luxury (Goblins) Vs Cabby'Bear (Dwarves)

Map: Fords of Isen II

IPB Image


Gimli: Oh come on, we can take 'em.
Aragorn: It's a long way.
Gimli: Toss me.
Aragorn: What?
Gimli: I canni jump the distance, you'll have to toss me.
...pauses, looks up at Aragorn...
Gimli: Don't tell the elf.
Aragorn: Not a word.

Game Summary
A well fought game by Luxury, his Fort falls to the infamous guardian rush, but he stays in there, selling buildings just as the slow dwarves reach them in order to save for a fort rebuild. Until BW grace the field, the goblins speed vs dwarves really is a joke, and it wasnt hard for Luxury to harass during this stage. He has lings and the ling summon ready for BWs when they do appear, and Cabby's axethrowers get trampled by Spiderriders, a perfect example of countering the counter. Luxury gets his Fort rebuilt and his Power back, a well placed Watcher and warcried Wildmen fend off the attack and the game is his.

Positives
smile.gif Nice formation/stance usage switching from agg to guard when he turned to attack your units.
smile.gif Sold nearly all your doomed buildings well in time, and good expansion after losing your fort.
smile.gif Nice mine harassment, and creeping with the lings.
Negatives
sad.gif Fought the troll with 2 stands of gobbas at one point.
sad.gif Slow to rebuild Goblin Cave to try and save fort.

Player Summary
First u didnt find the forward tunnel before he arrived, and second u got a poor block on the guardians once they were there, u were kinda surrounding your own tunnel trying to attack. This is the time to get the 3rd Goblin Cave as your initial 2 are bound to go down, and try and save your fort with units from this. During your mine harassment u picked a builder off, u might not realise how much of a difference this made, it slowed his expansion and therefore his BW. Good game smile.gif
Player Rating: 7/10

Positives
smile.gif Well executed Guardian rush, cleaning his surrounding buildings with the 1st RC and holding out on the 2nd for the Fort.
smile.gif Good stance use and ok scouting with guardians, u really need the BW speed to hunt down those pesky remaining structures.
Negatives
sad.gif Lost a builder to gobs early on that cost u your BW imo.
sad.gif Needed to mix in a few pikes to protect your BW/axethrowers from lings/Spider Riders.
sad.gif No tech, could have sealed it.

Player Summary
You used the Dwarves strength well to score the initial victory, but then so did Luxury with the gobs cheapness and superior speed for harassment. Your BW production was halted by just 1 mine every time, if u didnt lose that builder early on u might have had some sneaky mines for the extra CP. So cashfloat during this part when u couldnt build BW, didnt use charge attack with guardians as much as u could for the free LD, too late pikes, and no tech. You needed the CP for BW before he got lings out, maybe u built too many guardians or maybe u should have kept some guardians in your mines and protected them better.
