It concerns only the Rohan players actually. I focussed mainly on them during the long replay, because, let's be honest, they had quite a challenge before them. Isengard and Dwarves with their nasty late-game.
Anyway, I don't know if both Rohan players had intended this from the start, but you could see that Draco was going for a cavalry army while Haman was going for a more infantry-based army. This versatility was very enjoyable to watch as well. However, the only real mistake, and the one that might arguably have cost the Rohan players the game, was the lack of upgrades. Oh and Dwarves being able to field an army of Heroic Units doesn't really help either lol, but that was beyond their control.
I saw Draco get an Armoury on the Outpost at a good stage in the game and he had researched all the upgrades, but then Elite managed to destroy it, and after that he never rebuilt it. I don't know if I saw this with Haman, but I know that he was floating at a couple of stages in the game, because he didn't have an Armoury to upgrade his massive Peasant army or just did not upgrade them. In Draco's case, it might have been a risk to destroy an existing building to build a second Armoury, as he was more often deprived of resources during the game, so it might have been quite risky. He had a large group of Eastfold Rohirrim at some point and I was just waiting for those upgrades to see those Axe Rohirrim attack Isengard head-on, but they never came
. Same thing in Haman's case, I was waiting to see that massive Peasant blob to be fully upgraded (accompanied by some spear throwers even) and clash with the small, but tanky Dwarven Army.
That was it really. I am not really sure what else Rohan could have done on this small map. They did pretty well considering the map and the match-up.
I could watch it again, and then observe Kryptik and Radek more, but maybe later.
