Some * just won games without a single harvester! 

We both use level 8 commander and units. This guy built lots of infantry and even heavy units without any harvesters. Its so easy for him to destroy my harvesters while keep building his own units. He didnt even bother to attack my base.

Its definitely some kind of dirty hack mod...then i Google it. Bingo..now you know how those cheating * ruin this game! Bunch of losers using hack mod...shame on them!!

    Hi @matthework 

    I can absolutely understand your frustration, but there is no need for this language here.

    It is absolutely possible to play without a harvester and still win games. Especially in the lower leagues, this is a common strategy. Once you are promoted to Master and above, it won't work that well anymore.

    Check out Redox video about this strategy HERE to learn more about it.

    I won a lot of games as a NOD between bronze to platinum with early rush NOD tactic.

    Harvesters take unit capability and reset clock to build new one. Destroying yours harvesters gives a lot of tiberium. If my deck was full of early rush unit and 2 heavy then this is ideal plan. Cyborgs were most expansive unit if the game hit late game (it was hard time and last call unit) and mostly opereting on infantry with flamers, some thic tanks in mid game, bikes etc.

    After I hit platinum this tactics was not so good, because there was more and more players who build some defenses early game.

    The point is NOT about winning a game OR any strategy. I have played 90 games so far. Its impossible to build so many infantry and heavy units that fast without any harvesters. Just Google it ...hack mod is already out there. For God sake, just be brave to admit it!!!

    It is not just at level 8 or whatever levels, these players just made the harvester useless because all they ever need to do is to attack the harvesters which hurt the economy of the opponent thus slow down the process of making units to counter attack. They do not have to build any harvesters at all thus making the Harvester useless. If this is the case must as well remove the harvester from the game play. Otherwise is it sort of a trick to make players who built the harvester an idiot. In the other discussion about Nod Laser drones are overpowered, it is the same case where players just built laser drones to attack the harvesters. 

    Suggestions: Harvesters should be armed with some from of weapon to defend themselves. At least there is a little fighting back. This is true where by in the older C&C PC game Tibirium Sun where the Harvester is armed with mini guns which give it a slight chance of fighting back.

    @FrontierWarrior8 umm... tiberian sun never had guns on your harvesters. You must be thinking about red alert 2 where soviet has a gun...
    Also laser drones are fine, just place 1 rocket soldier near your harv and you're good to go.
    Tip: Build a rifleman scout as your first unit, if enemy rushes you build counters instead of a harv = gg, you won the game.
