evilbaronatreides Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 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 Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I place them always on spots where there is no more room for normal buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Farms will get nuked and this will scupper you for a long time. while the enemy attacks. Build them intermittently where there's space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barron_Anthony Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 Use the wind traps a round the conyar and against the end of the screen. and place them were the easy to see :-/ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 if you place them where there easy to see they will become more tempting targets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 19, 2002 Share Posted January 19, 2002 ever heard of someone building lots of windtraps together and sealing them off with walls? :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 ever heard of units that can shoot over walls :O :O :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yeah, Some ixian Infiltrators can easily destroy the farms. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 put scouts near the entrances of the city and near of windtraps :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 of course there is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 "Unless if there is a minotaur nearby "In which case the Mino's collateral damage will cause lots of damage to the windtraps anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 put mongoose to rpotected that area and turret :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 sometimes you can walk right past turrets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 If the turrets are short range, or the base has low power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Strange, atriedes value the lives of their soldiers, but both minos and sonics can kill their own units. Doesn't make sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Emperor Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtugon Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 haha, lazer tanks cannot ride soldiers down :(And they aren't effective against infantry, so I always destroy the baracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
