NASTY LITTLE TRICK 8^)

[Guest Hayt989]

!Warning!

                     Only use this strategy against guys who are really getting on your nerves, talking trash, or just plain old being mean  :(

Build a wall in the shape of a square that is fully enclosed and big enough for a Harvester to fit in.  Now build an advanced carryall.  Pick up an enemy harvester and drop it in your little pen.  The computers carryyalls will try to come pick up the harvester but your troops will shoot it down.  Now since carryalls are controlled by computer the player has no controll over them.  You are now forcing your opponet to invest money into carryalls, and after a while he will have no carryalls left!

much better then the stupid drop mints into holdin pehs strat. but again, watch out for your own AA defenses.

u may die bringin the stuff there. good solution would be to make all the pens, turrets , then start buildin a windtrap. sell ur windtraps till there is not enough power to operate the turrets, den fly by to place the harvester. drip the wimdtrap down again and wala!

ps. also make sure ur turrets or units arnt near enough to fire on that little harvester...

This sounds too time consuming building these pens blah blah blah. I have to agree with jaaaa your own AA defenses may do you in trying to bring the harvester to the pen. Not to mention all the buying and selling you have to do to make it work it's sounds like a waste of time and money and doesn't that go aganist the Ordos coda.

yeah  why spend so much time on building pens when u could just drop them on isolated plateaus with no ramps and have some aa units around their but not when u made drop :()

[cyclonus]

Or just destroy the carryall in the AA units and save your time.

Ok about the wasting money being against the Ordos Coda, yes it is. I mean the Executrix would have your head for it. As for the pen I find keeping AA troopers to the side away from it slightly helps.

its a good idea but itll take waaaayyyy!!! to long........but if u can yah but.....wut happens if ur opponent also buids an advanced carryall ahead of time and as u buid up ur aa defence he already has taken back his harvester???

and wut about his AA defense??

or even worse he strikes u then attempting to recue back his havester...u know rescue mission...then all ur doing is forcing him to act fast and hurt u with griund troops while all u have are AA defenses......wheres the use in dat??

[quoudam72]

This does not work online it's useless it costs you valuable time which in turn could cost you the game this only will work in the single-player campaign or against an inexperienced player.

[cyclonus]

Yup.

[Guest Ordos_Yogurt]

Yeah... but this game is not that old, so there are not so many experienced players!

[daniel]

i agree with minigo ;D

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

You're right. It only works against the computer, and newbies. But It's a great strat to use if you want  to slaughter some inexperience'd newbies.
