Are you still here? I just want to know if this is continuing.

None of your moves were particularly bad, they just didn’t work together so well. The good forces in this map have a great ability to work together, especially early on. The Elves in particular have to be quick to prevent the goblins from becoming super strong. Holding Eregion and keeping pressure on Moria is important. Hobbits are also very useful because even though they don’t have attack power, they can be supported by artillery, so they get a +1. The only other thing is that you left alot of targets open for the two-hit units to attack, so I could kill the elves for cheap when my nazgul were in range. Huge stacks keep that problem away.

Thank you! You played a good game too.

The offer still stands if you want to play again, this map or another.

Haha, feel free to surrender when you want. I was just waiting to hear from you about when you wanted to stop!
