Review by: Thorin^

Starting positions:
Dwarves/EoE|^SkandalouZ - West
Isengard/Blade|Dagon - East

Overview:

An alright game overall, the Dwarven player made a lot of crucial mistakes which eventually cost him the game, but the Isengard player knew what to do in this matchup, so he started out with a Wildmen start. He expected him to take the Inns, which he should have done, but he didn't and he just attacked the base with a few Guardians. Quickly using 2 Clan Steadings, the endless waves of Wildmen were too much for EoE and slowly, but surely he was subdued, although he never really had a chance to win. At the end, Dagon rushed in some FU Wargs and with Howl they took out the Fortress pretty easily even when he had used Rebuild. Overall, an average game, but pretty much one-sided and a lot of mistakes on the Dwarven side.

Dwarves/EoE|^SkandalouZ

Not really good from you, you made a lot of crucial mistakes, which cost you the game. First off, change your BO. Go for Mine --> HoW --> Phalanx --> Mine near Inn --> Guardian. Also, build your RB's at 97%, so they won't take up as much space as 100% and will still produce maximum resources. Don't leave your builders standing next to just built buildings, this way they will only get killed. Another thing, don't send your entire army after just one unit. If you wanna take it out, just take what's necessary and kill it, but not your entire army as you can use the remaining units to attack him. Harass more and be more aggressive as well, you need to lock him in his base in order to kill him, if you don't, he'll expand and take map control.
    Tips for improvement
  • Use Mine --> HoW --> Phalanx --> Mine near Inn --> Guardian.
  • Build RB's at 97%
  • Don't leave your builders next to just built buildings, they will only get killed this way.
  • Harass more and be more aggressive.
  • Don't send your entire army after one unit.

Isengard/Blade|Dagon

You played pretty good, you knew what to do in this matchup and thus you won the game, even though he wasn't a very good Dwarven player overall. There are a few things I'd like to point out though, first off attack via the flanks to prevent him from expanding up to your base and to surprise him more, if you attack from two sides, not even the Mine system can help to fend off both attacks properly. Also, be a tad more aggressive, there were a few times when you could have easily harassed and attacked him, but you didn't. Another thing, Wildmen stealth in trees, so if you wanna let them regenerate, you can hide them in the trees. Don't trample Guardians head on with Wargs, they will just die especially if you try to let them trample on. Last, but definately not least, upgrade your Fort with Murder of Crows, this way you'll spot all his Forward Mines and sneak attacks.
    Tips for improvement
  • Upgrade your Fortress with Murder of Crows to be able to see every Forward Mine of him.
  • Be a bit more aggressive, try to put pressure on him at all times with harassment or another way.
  • Wildmen stealth in trees, so use this to your advantage.
  • Don't trample Guardians head on with Wargs, they will only die.

Overall Rating: 4
