Review by: Thorin^
Starting positions: Isengard/TheThorn - West Angmar/[DAC]Ardwar - East
Overview:
Overall, not really a good game, the Isen player had the upper hand constantly and the Angmar player was locked in his base within a radius of 200-300 of his Fortress, so all the battles took place on the same ground. The Isengard player used a Uruk Spam followed by Lurtz and Axethrowers, which kept him subdued. At the end he send some Rams towards the fortress and took it down. A pretty boring game overall.
Isengard/TheThorn
A decent game from you overall, although with quite a few mistakes. You should have built the 1st Furnace and Uruk Pit next to eachother, so the 2nd Furnace can also be built within Fortress fire. Also, use Shield Wall first and then the desired stance as Shield Wall resets it to battle stance. Choose Crebain as your first power, it debuffs his units and deprives him of Leadership. Get Warg Riders, they are very good to harass any Mills of him with. When using WC + Shield Wall, put your units in battle stance, they won't get any stronger in defensive. Another thing, don't be too eager in destroying the Fortress, all you did was attack the Fortress, which isn't always the best option.
Tips for improvement
Use clumping when attacking buildings with melee units. For more information read this Clumping guide.
Choose Crebain as your first power.
Get Warg Riders to kill his Axethrowers and harass his Mills.
Don't be too eager against the Fortress.
Angmar/[DAC]Ardwar
A bad game from you I must say, sorry. You never expanded beyond 2 Mills, which you should really do as that is not enough by far. You need to expand and build more along the sides of the map to give you a good income. Also don't use ATs vs Uruk Hai, they are good vs Xbows, but Uruk Hai are pretty strong against Slash damage. Use this BO: Mill --> Mill --> Hall of the King's Men --> Mill --> Thrall Master --> Hall of the King's Men. It gives you enough Thrall Masters and a good economy. Another thing, instead of Dire Wolves, get Snow Trolls, they are really powerful and could have defeated a lot of his troops easily. Last, don't use Dire Wolves vs buildings, they have a -90% damage penalty vs them.
Tips for improvement
Expand more, preferably along the sides of the map.
Don't use AT's vs Uruk Hai, they are too strong to defeat with just ATs
Use this BO: Mill --> Mill --> Hall of the King's Men --> Mill --> Thrall Master --> Mill.
Get Snow Trolls instead of Dire Wolves, Snow Trolls are immensily strong.
Don't use Dire Wolves against buildings, they have a -90% damage penalty vs buildings.
Overall Rating:3
