Walkthrough
- 1Harvester Protection:
- Position defensive structures (Turrets, Pillboxes, Guard Towers) near your Ore Refineries and Harvester paths.
- 2Keep a small force of combat units (e.g., Riflemen, Attack Dogs, Tanks) on patrol or stationed near your base to intercept enemy units attempting to attack Harvesters.
- 3Utilize the 'Guard' command on your Harvesters to make them defend themselves if attacked, though this is less effective than dedicated defenses.
- 4Be aware of enemy unit types that are particularly effective against Harvesters (e.g., Mammoth Tanks, Flame Tanks, Artillery) and counter them accordingly.
- 5Consider building a second Ore Refinery further away from your main base to diversify your harvesting operations and make them harder for the enemy to target effectively.
- 6Harvester Raiding:
- Scout enemy bases to locate their Ore Refineries and Harvester paths.
- 7Use fast-moving units (e.g., Buggies, Motorcycles, Light Tanks) to quickly attack and destroy enemy Harvesters.
- 8Target Harvesters when they are en route to or from the Ore Refineries, as they are often less protected during these times.
- 9If possible, destroy the enemy's Ore Refinery to halt their harvesting operations entirely.
- 10Use artillery units or air support (if available) to bombard enemy Harvester concentrations or refineries from a safe distance.
- 11Consider using stealth units (if available) to infiltrate enemy territory and sabotage their harvesting operations.
Tips
- A strong economy is key to victory. Prioritize protecting your Harvesters and disrupting your enemy's.
- Adapt your strategy based on the faction you are playing and the enemy's faction. Some factions have better offensive or defensive capabilities regarding Harvesters.
- Keep your Harvesters moving and avoid leaving them idle near enemy lines.
- Always have a plan for both defending your Harvesters and attacking your opponent's.
