Starting positions: MoTW/Elite|Eagle/Team1 - West Dwarfes/Dark|Elvenking/Team2 - East
Overview:
This was quiet a good game overall. Both players brought up a good fight and you didnt know who will win this until the very end and so the game was quiet interesting and entertaining to watch. Elite started with a normal soldier rush while Elvenking decided to go for the MoD + Pike strat. In the beginning Elite completely outspammed Elvenking with his soldiers and he had quiet many problems to defend his inns. Unfortunally these MoD and pikes slowly pushed Elite back. In the meantime Elvenking started to build FW Mines all around Elites base so he was locked there. Due to boromir Elite was able to keep his opponent several times away from his fort but shortly after Elvenking overran Elites base and nearly took out his fort. But thanks to Tom Bombadil and Rohirrim he was able to push the dwarf back and also to take out all his FW mines. Then Elite took Elvenkings inns out which cut him from getting archers anymore. Slowly after that Elite overran the dwarfen base himself and took out his fort and the game ended.
You played quiet a good game there. Your harassment and expanding were quiet good and you put a nice pressure on your opponent also a very good use of PP powers. You just made a few mistakes. First of all you should scout with your builders near the inns. If your opponent is dwarf like in this game you ll find out what inn he ll take over and can maybe avoid that he ll get it. Second you should rebuild your pits nearer at your fort. You build them somewhere where they were completely unprotected and it d have been easy for your opponent to take them out. If you build them near your fort they ll be more protected. Last but not least take a bit more care at your stance useage later on. Very often you let your troops when they were in a 1on1 melee stay in aggressive which was not very good. Try to avoid such mistakes.
Your gameplay was also quiet good. Both harassment and expanding were very good the whole game though and also a nice use of PP powers. However, you also made some mistakes. First of all try to build your RBs on 97-100%. Better build them on 97% so that they dont need that much space and they re still in range of your forts arrows. Take more care of your builders. You lost one needlessly eary on when he could have been rescued. When you see enemy troops coming either retreat your builder and put him in a mine or alternative start building a wall hub. Protect your archers a bit better. Always get a meatshield for them so that theyre better protected from enemy troops. When your units are stunned from boromirs HoG then put them in defensive stance. That way you can reduce the damage that you units will take during theyre stunned. Last thing you should try to build a 2nd barracks for a better spam. The MoTW player completely outspammed which probably wouldnt have happened if you had a 2nd barracks.
Tips for improvement
Build your RBs on 97%
Watch your builders
Take more care about your archers
Put your units into defensive stance when theyre stunned
Get a 2nd barracks for a better spam

Actualy, posting every win vs at least avarage dwarves play is good as you can learn a lot on how beat them.
Agreed as on FoI 2 it is very hard to beat dwarves coz there are 2 inns so if one gets destroyed the other one if there and no faction other than dwarves starts pikes. This means that dwarves have to get the inn first (also due to their mine transportation system).
Thanks Hellboy.

Tips for improvement- Scout with your builders near the inns
