Starting positions:
Elves/CL|buchan - West
Elves/AMoK|ProHuNTeR - East

Overview:

A decent game overall, with some good stuff but with also a lot of mistakes. The best part was Liam's harassing, which was godly to watch as he took down around 7 RB's with just one Lancer batt, not losing more than 1-2 Lancers in that batt. After that he unfortunately got pushed back by the sheer power of Mirkwoods + Glorfindel which pwned his Mirkwoods + Mithlonds + Haldir. AMoK harassed pretty good as well with Glorfindel, destroying the outlying RB's. Then at the end Liiam lost his Fort due to Mirkwoods + Glorfindel and that meant the end for him. Overall, a decent game.

Elves/CL|buchan

Not a bad game from you, there were quite a few mistakes, but your Lancer harassment was simply divine tbh. Always try to build your RB's at 97%, at the start this is highly important as the difference between 24 and 25 may not seem like much, but it does make you have to wait 6 seconds more to get that amount as 449 is not enough for one Lancer, but 450 is. Get your own Glorfindel if he's using one and level that one up by creeping and harassing, use Wind Rider + BoP + Aggressive to kill his Glorfindel. Expand along the upper flanks of the map, you let him do that which gave him a better economy than you. Also, you should have let that level 4 Lancer battallion regenerate, such a high-level unit is very valuable. If your builder is in danger due to Glorfindel or something else, build a Wall Hub on spot, destroy it just before it finished, this way your builder won't be killed as Wall Hub's are so hard to destroy.
    Tips for improvement
  • Build your RB's at 97%.
  • Get your own Glorfindel to counter his.
  • Expand along the upper flanks of the map.
  • Let leveled units regenerate, especially Level 4 Lancers.
  • Use the Wall Hub trick to save your builders.

Elves/AMoK|ProHuNTeR

Not a bad game from you, although you made quite a few mistakes. Don't ever start with more than 2 RB's unless you're hero rushing with Isengard, it may be good for your economy, but it certainly isn't for how fast you get your unit out. If you want to go for a Barracks start, use either Tree --> Rax --> Tree --> Lorien Warrior or Tree --> Tree --> Rax --> Lorien Warrior, but don't build 4 Trees first. Also build your Trees at 97%, if you want to have a good economy, you should always give them the maximum income. Go for Mithlond Sentry --> Lorien Warrior at the start instead of double Mithlond Sentry, this way if he does go for Lorien Warriors, which he did, you won't be defeated by them so fast. Don't trample pikes with Glorfindel, he is strong, but he is still weak to pikes and all.
    Tips for improvement
  • Go for Tree --> Rax --> Tree --> Lorien Warrior or Tree --> Tree --> Rax --> Lorien Warrior.
  • Build your RB's at 97%.
  • Go for Mithlond Sentry --> Lorien Warrior, to prevent your second unit from being wasted.
  • Don't trample pikes with Glorfindel, he's strong, but not that strong.
  • Be more aggressive as well, you were on the defensive for quite a while.

Overall Rating: 4

I've had a look at ur replay:

u started off with lancers and destroyed many of his trees which was good. Ur first mistake was u upgarded ur rax without getting a another rax soon after to take out his glorfindel and army. if u had done and expanded at the same time u would have been dual rax pumping out mirks in no time. On top of not getting another rax u did not destry ur GP when u were not using it at all after u got ur first bat of lancers. if u r planning on only getting one lancer then destroy the pasture after thumb.gif to speed up ur access to mirks. Also, why on earth did u get haldir he really has no use wotsever when mirks r in play i recomend getting a hero like legolas or elrond after u have mirks and maybe after ST then evn level 10 glor will have no chance. Another thing is that u did not flank his mirks from behind with ur Lancer bat. If u run head on at them they will own ur cav before u even touch them. As he was setting up a camp in the middle with well and statue then an ent or treebeard would have helped grately. Just throw a rock in aggressive stance drop rocks then run off-keep repeaing until no structure left then attack with all u have.

Overall if u had two rax early then lots of mirks u would have won.

edit: this isnt relly a review lol so someone still can biggrin.gif .
