This was a quickmatch game of Mordor vs. Elves. I started off preparing for a land battle... then wondered why I wasn't finding any of my opponent's buildings. Watch and see what happened!
~Kester(Mordor) vs ChronusDyre (Elves)~
Played on Forlindon
---------------
Player : Kester
BO: Slaughter House (x2),Orcpits (x2),Orc Warriors (x2),Orc Archers.
Positives
[+]Early Creeping ! You got the point of the 1.05 patch very quickly
[+]Early Catapults.
[+]Captured the Outpost.
[+]Map Control ( duh ! )
[=]You improved your micromanaging this time ! You used stances this time.Keep improving !
[=]If you have sent a single Orc battalion against his unprotected base you could have destroyed his barracks & Mallorn Trees more earlier.
Negatives
[-]You should built the first 2 Orcpits behind your fortress and not in the frontline !
[-]Spend money to transport ships. Fellbeasts and Bombards were enough to destroy him IMO.
Player Summary :
You were vastly improved this time ! Your micromanaging wasn't very good but it was way better than your previous matches ! Jus learn to switch stances (from defensive (hotkey "D") to aggressive ( hotkey "G") and vice-versa).
About the match . You faced an opponent who choose a completely (stupid IMO) tactic and so , you didn't face any serious problems with beating him.The only thing I didn't like is you building's locations (the 2 Orcpits) and the fact you played
[-]Silly strategy at all ! And especially against Mordor !
[-]Stances ? Micromanaging ?
[-]No aggressive at all.
[-]At least while waiting for your first transport you should have sent someone to capture an Outpost.
Player Summary :
"Huh" ? That's what I thought when I see you landing on the island at the southwest corner and do creeping. I bet you were thinking to establish a base there and with the naval control Kester would have no way to beat you. That was a mistake of course.You should not do that thing against Mordor.
Rating : 1.5/5
---------------
Match Rating : 2.5/5
The Elven player didn't play well but this is a replay worth to watch. I bet most of you have thought ,when you are playing Forlindon ,to send a boat on the southwestern island and establish a base there. Check that replay. It will be useful to you ;)

This game could have ended so much quicker. Mordor should have stopped troop production, and focussed on creating enough ships to prevent Elves from moving. Then destroy the docks, and bombard until victory.
Control, Blockade, Destroy. Nice little game, however. VERY odd strategy by the elves.
