To put the Nerfs in the animal ners or to just let your villagers chop them up into little bitty pieces with the big drills. Those little guys are so cute arent they :D

nurseries by far. If you chop them up, thats it, all their meat is gone. If you have them in a nursery, you will be forever receiving food from them as long as you maintain them.

Big mistake. Maybe that will work now in the demo when lots of people suck, but the food gathering rate for nerfs in the building is far too slow, even with a power core (which is pretty expensive itself). You will get killed by your opponent in tech 2 because he will be able to advance there much faster than you.

It depends on the type of player you are fighting, if they like to rush you then you should slaughter your nerfs, if the enemy likes a drawn out conflict then u chuck em in the nursery

as for other animals i dont kill em cos they look better as scenery then as a corpse
and i just cant picture an r2 unit killing an animal

Yossarian, you could not be more wrong bro. Food absolutely flies with a power core in its range. I have a feeling you did not have your nursery in range. My food just piles up with those nerfs in them and all the food techs advanced in the nursery.

either i have workers on the berries and nerfs in the "slaughter house" nursery or i have a handful of nerfs in the nursery while at the same time chopping up a couple of them with 3-4 workers each. that way, you economize efficiently while getting a flood of food to build more units.

power cores increase the trickling rate of food from nerfs big time, so those are really helpful...

It should be possible to maintain a constant flow of villagers without eating the nerfs on most maps. If so I would put them in a nursery. They do make a significant ammount of food there and they don't take up any room in the population count.

Has anyone tried a nursery, powercore first start? If you have close hunting or berries, so that you don't have to build a building for them it might work.

I will go so far as to say it's impossible to maintain constant villager flow without eating at least some of the nerfs. Please prove me wrong.

You need 200 carbon for a power core, plus another 100 for a nursery. I don't see how you can gather all that carbon, plus have enough villagers on berries/banthas, to maintain constant production.

Nerfs and berries aren't your only sources of food, farms should be your main source of food while you put as many nerfs as you find in your nursey. And have all the farms built around a food processer.

Thats perfect Strategy. As Long as you can maintain a steady supply of resources back by bse defenses it wont be very hard at all to build an army.

Thats makes me wonder what droids picking berries and planting farms has to do with Star Wars? The farms, maybe, but the berries are stretching it past the elastic limit if you ask me.

Lol they couldnt find anything else to put in there so they just followed AOE/AOK. It looks weird but i suppose its possible.:) ;)

I don't think you understand. Of course in AOE it's easy to maintain constant villager production. I don't think you can do it in Battlegrounds by herding all nerfs into the nursery. You have to eat some of them.

The nurseries can be effective but they do cost a lot of carbon.
