This replay is utter crap and is a disgrace to GOLD replays.
Replay was not bad, but dwarven player needed to long to atack, there were quite a lot of bad stances, one was when boromir suttned his army and all dwarves were in atack stance, if you put them in defence and pikes in porcupine formation it helps at least a bit tbh, rohirims were also always in atack stance and he didnt flank the units, no stances on heroes, dwarves got hit by vollies even when not under horn, motw lost boromir very stupid, dwarves lost captain of dale 2x, but he could easly save him, KoDA atacked cita in middle of tunnel, HoW and range, so if his army would be in tunnel they would die fast to captain of dale arrow and pikes + at, when cita was down and koda were runing away he passed builder, but he could kill him.
Well i know few of this mastakes are small ones, but there are a lot of things that could have been done a lot better.
stupid question here but where do you svae the files for the replays. i can never seem to get them to work. Plz help! if you can tell me a step-by-step way to play them that would be even better thanks

At the current stage of the game, your strategy is really innovative. Most people just prefer to spam archers, where you decided to build their way more expensive counter, horses. Its needless to say that this strategy only works if your facing someone that doesn't start harassing you directly from the start. The fast horses as counter for the axe throwers, combined with the melee units from your barrack gave you a perfect shield for the spammed axe throwers early game. Late early game you already got Boromir, making extremely good use of his Horn almost right away. Also the fact that you used the Inn on this map to produce your Archers made your unit mixing near perfect. During mid/late game you spend all your money on teching and building the elite horses. Be careful though not to put all your money on the Knights of dol Amroth to soon. When he would've bought the oil defence on his Ford your knights would've been dead, leaving you with almost no forces behind. Keep in mind that sneak attacks are only worth it if you can keep his units away. There is always a chance he counters your attack. Also watch your cashfloat near the end of the game, since its very unlikely that you have more units then him with this strategy. Great match combined with great micro.

BO: Mine, archery range -> mine 1st: Rallying Call
You started with a regular Build order in this match. You probably expected to see some archer spam, therefore slowly but steady taking mapcontrol. You must have been shocked to see Rohirim on the battlefield so fast. You anticipated on this by building a Hall of Warriors, producing phalanxes. Dwarves are known to have the toughest heroes in game, yet it would've been wiser to continue unit spam against this player. With a higher replacement rate for your troops you could have kept the pressure up, making it so that the horn from Boromir wouldn't be ready constantly when you tried to attack. Also spread out your units way more when your attack him. At some stages you where simply asking to get stunned by Boromirs horn. I did liked you start in this match though, slowly taking all the important pieces on the map, making sure that there was almost no way for him to get past behind your lines. Probably something you will do from now on: Buy the oil upgrade on the dwarven ford when you see Knights of dol Amroth. Also great game from you. During the entire game you tried to push on, to turn the tide of the game in favour of you.
