ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I DO WHEN PLAYING MORE THAN 2 OTHER OPPONENTS IS TO 
USE THE "CNRL + A" AND USE THE CHRONOSPHERE TO TRANSPORT THEM TO THE MIDDLE OF 
MY DEFENSES THEN DO THE "CTRL + A" AND WATCH THE UNIT GET WASTED. VERY FUNNY 
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR OPPONENT IS HURTING FOR CASH. WAIT TILL THE 
HARVESTER IS ON THE WAY BACK AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM, TRANSPORT HIM TO THE 
MIDDLE OF YOUR DEFRNSES, THEN UNMAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM. IT IS TO FUNNY.
