Windtrap farms

[evilbaronatreides]

who uses windtrap farms? i use only small scattered crops, but ive read somewhere that farms in the rear of a base is an effective way of power management (that is probably the biggest lie ive ever heard).

[dex]

windtrap farms are ok but there best used as decoys and backups  best to use small clumps of 1-2 scattered in your base hidden behind structures is good too

[Timenn]

I place them always on spots where there is no more room for normal buildings.

[nemafakei]

Farms will get nuked and this will scupper you for a long time. while the enemy attacks. Build them intermittently where there's space.

[Barron_Anthony]

Use  the wind traps a round the conyar and against the end of the screen. and place them were the easy to see

:-/           ;)

[dex]

if you place them where there easy to see they will become more tempting targets

[gunner154]

ever heard of someone building lots of windtraps together and sealing them off with walls? :D :D :D

[dex]

ever heard of units that can shoot over walls :O :O :O

[Duncan]

the windtraps are always one of primary targets because a base without power loses the best defense weapons and stops the special weapon countdown and slows production of units ,never put windtraps near base doors.

But i made mistakes too i do large windtraps farms :P

[evilbaronatreides]

it is more efficent like that, but rows are better. Spreading a line of wintraps is waste of space, but at least when a nuke does hit, only a few will be blown and not the whole farm

[Timenn]

Just spread them through your base, then there is no logic in your placement of windtraps and that makes it hard to nuke or making a quick assault in somebody's windtrap farm, row

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Yeah, Some ixian Infiltrators can easily destroy the farms.  :O

[Duncan]

put scouts near the entrances of the city and near of windtraps  :P

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Yeah imagine that.. A scout picking  an Infiltrator off, And suddenly the infil will boom the windfarm to pieces. Unless if there is a minotaur nearby :D

[Timenn]

of course there is...

[nemafakei]

"Unless if there is a minotaur nearby "

In which case the Mino's collateral damage will cause lots of damage to the windtraps anyway.

[Duncan]

put mongoose to rpotected that area and turret  :P

[Sardauker-Kirov]

I passed the turrets in time most of the time LOL <- :)

The mino's doesnt always have to destroy the windtraps that fast maybe damage but destroy is a bit "egg"xegrated" , Well thats what i saw atleast

[jacobdouds]

sometimes you can walk right past turrets

[House_Corrino]

If the turrets are short range, or the base has low power.

[Timenn]

In which case the Mino's collateral damage will cause lots of damage to the windtraps anyway.

And with deploying infiltrators by infantery. The infiltrator is destroyed by the Mino, and so is the infantery. Stupid mino! ;D

[House_Corrino]

Strange, atriedes value the lives of their soldiers, but both minos and sonics can kill their own units.  Doesn't make sense...

[An4rKi]

happie side effect?  ;D

[Black_Emperor]

anyone knows to either go for the windtraps and conyard 1st or to go for the starport and factory

ignore the barracks, what can they do? with it? send a horde of light infantry, troopers, and engineers at you? just run em over

[Virtugon]

haha, lazer tanks cannot ride soldiers down  :(

And they aren't effective against infantry, so I always destroy the baracks
