Harvesters and Carryalls

[Gobalopper]

This isn't really new information but I am sure some of our visitors don't know everything about the game just yet so I felt I might as well post it. :)

Certainly, you should be wary of worms while on the sand in Emperor. However, the first carryall you receive with your refinery is freely replacable throughout the mission. When it is eaten or destroyed by an enemy, a new harvester is ferried out to the refinery within a short period. This was to take some of the sting out of harvester hunting tactics, and hungry worms. Please note that additional harvesters on the same refinery do not get this 'free replacement'.

p.s. Did you know that you can upgrade each refinery twice? Each time, a new docking ramp slides out and a carryall & harvester are granted. In this way, each refinery can have 3 carryall/harvester combos running to it. Of course, you could build more harvesters and/or carryalls and they will start to take turns waiting for open docking bays, etc. -LINK

I don't think you get free Harvesters in WW's other C&C games, so this could be something to keep in mind for future strategies...
