I think its fair but i see it as a waist of time. sure they're a source of food but you can get more from just building a farm.

Nerfs give off more food than farms do. You put them in a nursery and put a power core by it and watch all the food you get.

A common tactic I used in my great WC2 days was to ignore my opponents base and army and instead hit his farms. . . hard.

Not only does that eliminate his ability to produce troops until those farms are rebuilt, but then i can hit his troops hard (normally a mage attack followed by standard troops).

I then destroy his base at my lesiure.

It sounds like this will be a tactic I can use in GB. Just hit the nerf nursery instead.

That tactic works IF your enemies base is not protected or fortified. If it is, then the tides will quickly turn and your invading army will be picked off leisurely by his forces instead.

I'm not saying that at all. Just that everyone has a weak spot no matter how well defended you base is or how many troops you have. heck, I've go more then I can count.

I'm just saying If I wanted to take out his farms / nursery, I would find a way sooner or later. Don't know how, but I would find a way.

Not exactly free.
You have to build an animal nursery which costs 120 carbon(approx.)

We all know the real reason nerfs are in the game.

I'm sure we all played wack the seal / sheep in WC2.

This lets us re-live that dark side in all of us :laughing:

hehe my favorite tactic has always been to takeout all there builders then there command center.. so now they cant build anything or get any more resoruces...

I used this tactic a lot in Starcraft :) oh and in the demos.. :)

Air is especially good at this.. kill all his carbine miners then get the others.. and then go for his command center.. >:)

why wouldn't it be fair?? I mean it's the other person's fault if they're to ignorant not to get the nerfs. besides all is fair right, there are no Rules in a game. How stupid. it's like in SC. when they say, no rush 20 min. I mean how lame is that?? So basically it's the same thing, if u can get it, then why not. Your adantage is someone elses disadvantage.

P.S. sorry for the incorrect grammar :(

there is a certain thing amongst elite gamers called HONOR. while stealing nerfs is not against honor(for the most part :D ), if soemone says 'don't capture the monument' and you purposely capture the monument, you are designated a 'llama' and have violated the warrior's honor code.

That is of course unless he remembers to quickly hit the alarm sending all workers into hiding. Of course he would have to have good defenses to keep the hiding places from being destroyed. Ah, the complexity of RTS games. :D
