this game was really really fun to play dunno who this dark guy is,but i had 2 good games with him !
it wasnt easy for both of us and we both agreed in a very good game
it is allways back and forth and u cant tell who is in advantage... and no boromit laming^^
really really bad was that the game ended with game.dat could be silver or at least replay of the week from my point of view cause if game.dat would not happen dunedain and maybe riders would have entered the battlefield
i would still like to have a review and enjoy watching it

Positions:
DaRk`PestilencE (Goblins): West WenSon (Men of the West): East
Overview:
This was a very good game indeed. WenSon started with a soldier spam while PestilencE went for Goblin spam. After WenSon managed to get a forward barracks up next to PestilencE's base it looked like it would be a walkover but PestilencE pushed him back and destroyed the forward barracks with a very well timed Wildmen summon. After this the game went back and forth with both players destroying each others base multiple times. It was virtually impossible for both players to get their late game units out due to the massive harrasment. Sadly, the game eventually ended with a "game.dat error" and I really can't tell who would have won if the game had gone on. All in all a must watch for players that struggle with either Goblins or MotW.
DaRk`PestilencE (Goblins)
A good game by you. Your start wasn't very good, you were slowly pushed back by WenSon's soldier spam. I would recommend going for fast spiderriders after your second cave as they are an excellent counter to Soldiers of Gondor due to their great health (1000 Hit Points!). You really lacked expansion in early game, try to expand along the sides of the map as soldiers don't have a very good vision and most likely won't move around the sides of the map very much. I really liked how you came back into the game by summoning the Watcher right in the middle of WenSon's Rohirrim army. However, you didn't use the advantage you had due to cavalery absence on the field well enough. You should have expanded a little more, you were down to 300 CP at times and that simply isn't enough, especially not for Goblins. As the last point, a general tip for Goblins: Try to flank Soldiers of Gondor as Goblin warriors have a hard time owning them otherwise.
Improvement Points:
Use spiderriders to counter Soldiers of Gondor.
Expand more, Goblins need many Command Points!
Flank Soldiers of Gondor.
WenSon (Men of the West)
This was a really impressive game by you. I liked the way you massively pressured him early game by getting an early forward barracks. However, you were sloppy using stances and clumping at times. Try and remember always to use them as they are the deciding factor in most infantery battles. While you kept him busy with Soldier spam you saved up for Rohirrim and Theoden. I would recommend getting a battalion of Pikes (Two battallions if you don't want to use Rallying Call) in order to kill the Cavetroll and to get the Inn. Dunedain rangers are very useful against Goblins, especially after reaching level two, as their Longshot ability one-hit-kills Goblin warriors. Another small mistake I noticed was that you didn't destroy the building ruins at times. That allowed him to get multiple tunnels and even a Fissure back which saved him a lot of money. Pay attention on those "little" things, I never see you making major mistakes, however, you do make a lot of those small mistakes.
Improvement Points:
Use Stances and Clumping as much as you can.
Try to get the Inns faster.
ALWAYS destroy the building ruins!

and silver wow thank you...unlucky we could not finish it
as to clumping and stances,i tried the most of the times,but due to the fact i had sometimes so many units on different places i could not use it on all,and i noticed the ruins,but sometimes,i was not able to destroy them as in the fact of the fissure,it was enough for me to buy time,to lose my lvl4 rohirrim would have hurt me more so i saved them
dunno who this dark guy is,but i had 2 good games with him !
