FdP vs [FW]

Starting positions:
Dwarves/Elite|EAGLE & Elves/El^KhaTiaM - Top
Dwarves/[FW]N0body & Dwarves/[FW]TheSoRRoW - Bottom

Overview:

A very nice game between FdP and FW with 3 dwarves and 1 elf in it. [FW] had a better start due to the power of Dwarves in early game, but FdP managed to remain on track by some good play of both players. After a while EAGLE's and TheSoRRoW's fortresses were destroyed at almost the same moment, and both players went to their allies' base. Afterwards it was a 1vs1 with some support for a little while, however, both players that had lost their fortress kept expanding and helping a bit in harassment. At a certain point KhaTiaM released his ents in the enemy base, however they could counter that. On the other side, KhaTiaM's fortress was destroyed and for a while EAGLE took over the dominant role from KhaTiaM, however he had his fortress back quite soon. On the other side TheSoRRoW also had a fortress again, however the pressure from the other team became too big and eventually FW lost the game.


Dwarves/Elite|EAGLE & Elves/El^KhaTiaM

Some very nice and intresting play from your side. You had both a very nice game and mistakes were small. Expansion and harassment were great, just like stances usage. The only team mistake you might have made was the decision to get onto TheSoRRoW before taking out the enemy mines. You could have rallied your troops like you did and Elves could've taken out both mines quickly and than put more pressure on TheSoRRoW. Individually you also made only few mistakes. Elite|EAGLE, you ran into enemy pikes with a builder early on and you could've avoid it because you saw the pikes already when you turned back near the tower. Also, keep 1 unit in your mines to defend them if they're under heavy attack from your enemies. KhaTiaM, at some point there was an attack on your base, and your horses were not helping there anyway, so instead of letting them stand there somewhere you could've harassed while they made their attack. Also, you had a chance to kill a builder once. If you can, try it and than turn back to the mine to take that out too. Last, don’t be too hasty on using ents. You sent them in without any support. Even 1 unit of archers or mêlee fighters would've kept away the pikes long enough to finish the fortress. But without question, very nice game from the both of you.

    Tips for improvement
  • Eagle: Don't run into pikes with your builder if you can avoid it.
  • Eagle: Keep 1 unit in your mines to defend them.
  • KhaTiaM: Keep harassing with your horses when they make such an attack against you.
  • KhaTiaM: Pursue his builder if you have the chance to kill it.
  • KhaTiaM: Don't be too hasty in using your ents. Make sure they got a bit support.
  • Both: Try to let one of you destroy the forward mines first.

Dwarves/[FW]N0body & Dwarves/[FW]TheSoRRoW

Also you guys played very well being a double dwarf. You both exploited the dwarves transport system to it's maximum and also you 2 never stopped harassing or expanding. Very nice team play from you two also. However, if 1 of you goes battlewagons early that’s enough. You don't have to get both battlewagons because you were already playing as 1 so with some good teamwork you could've done it without both of you getting Battlewagons. Instead the other one could have gone for an early hero like Elite|EAGLE did. Individually you both played very nicely too with a few normal exceptions. N0body, at some point you were running after an enemy builder while his fortress was shooting your pikes down 1 by 1. Only after half the battalion was dead you went for the mine. Trying to get to a builder is nice but don't let him lure you with it. If he moves him, break off the chase because he'll keep an eye on him if he moves him anyway. Also, don't run back to one of your mines when brand uses slam shot but spread out your forces as far as you can. If they run back to the mine, they get closer together and Brand'll kill more of them. TheSoRRoW, you should keep an eye on builders too. After you lost your fortress you were very prudent with the other one, however in early game you putted one of your builders near a tower which KhaTiaM had in his possession. That way he could easily see the builder and chase it. Luckily he went for your mine so you got away with him, but don't let your builder stand on such a stupid place. Secondly you must take better care of your Battlewagons. You lost about 3 by riding into pikes recklessly while they had the leadership upgrade. If an enemy army is filled with pikes just give your units the leadership instead of riding into pikes with it. Also, don't use a battlewagon against a fortress, especially not when Glorfindel is on it's tail. You also lost one that way. Last, keep an eye on your stances because quite a few times you were in battle stance while it should be aggressive (while attacking structures). However, also a nice play by the both of you.

    Tips for improvement
  • N0body: Don't let his builder lure you to run after it.
  • N0body: Don't run back to your mines when Brand uses his slam shot.
  • TheSoRRoW: Don't let a builder stand on a vulnerable spot.
  • TheSoRRoW: Don't waste a battlewagon on a stupid ways
  • TheSoRRoW: Keep an eye on your stances.
  • Both: Let 1 of you get Battlewagons and the other proceeds on more guardian + pikes or a hero.
