Rebuilding Harvesters shouldn’t be free...
Anyone else agree? I mean, the 100 bonus for destroying one is super nice, but there should be a penalty on the other side as well. At least half price to replace one.

It's not smart at all when you forget to play for missile control, since you are so obsessed with destroying the enemy's harvester.

That’s a terrible assumption you make there. While I’m destroying Harvesters with a Pitbull or two, those good ol cheap War Dogs and/or those very durable and capable APC’s are controlling the pads. Don’t assume that because I have the ability to focus on destroying harvesters means that I don’t have the ability to multitask.
This is game is about concentration. And if you can’t concentrate on more than one thing at a time... well you’ve already lost.

It's not an assumption. I have seen it countless times that people are so focused on destroying my harvester that they easily spend way more than 100 Tiberium to achieve that goal, and/or forget that the next missile firing at anybody's base is mine. The missile, not the base. ;-)
I dunno, maybe they were fast asleep during the mission's briefing? "ZZZZ - snore - oh, hey, we are supposed to destroy something? Huh, I guess it's the enemy's harvester?"
No, you fools. It's the enemy's base which you have to destroy.

I pressure the Harvesters with Pitbulls, while using Dogs to grab a pad. As the game progresses, I send the APC to the pad and pressure Harvesters with Pitbulls and/or Mohawks. So no... I don’t forget the strategy of War.
See other people think the same way I don
