Hell yeah, harvester killing is a nasty, effective tactic. Make sure you provide
a rocket firing escort for your harvester in order to destroy any air threats.
Nobody says in real war, "Maybe we shouldn't allow attacks on our supply lines".

Kill the harvester by all means.
This is war we're talking about.
While you're discussing ethics, your
opponent is happily mowing your foot-soldiers
into the landscape...

Although it's difficult to get the game going with
this tactic, you might try to set the first 15 or 20 minutes
of the game amassing money and establishing your base
(that means cease-fire)
then you can slug it out after that time runs out.

Cheers!

i make a harvester non kill pact for 15 mins in the beggining of the game
and then, hehehehe, i let my orcas have their long awaited fun.
its perfectly fair, if the opponent doesnt have the brains to guard his dough
machine, by all means use that to your advantage.
have fun

Look guys,

I started a thread months ago about this very subject, and opinions from
many people differ with no clear winner. My opinion is you should play the
game for the game, decide beforehand between your opponent whether harvester
killing should be allowed or not. My experience is you get a far better
game if you leave them alone. It makes the game more interesting and tests
your SKILL as opposed to going for an easy kill. This point can be argued
with references to historical battles and the whole thing is lost in
reality when after all it is a game designed to have fun with. If you are
still undecided play both ways and make up your own mind.

Oh yeah, that's a good point-- I always play with a 15 minute no-attack 
agreement.

Although I must admit I don't always love it, harvester killing 
DEFINITELY should be allowed.  

What people are doing is stripping away the strategic intelligence of 
this game.

At first it was: Limited to 4 orcas.
	-That makes sense to me, and I even play that way.
Then it was: No attacking harvesters.
	-I thought that was ridiculous
Most recently: No engineers.
	-I nearly started eating only prunes (?!)
	-No, i was seriously appauled.

PEOPLE listen up!! Don't just take something away from the game because 
thats how YOU got beat!  We cannot continue to bog down the game with 
unnecessary rules. If someone keeps beating you by destroying your 
harvester, think of it as a motivator to figure out a better way to 
destroy THEIR harvester.  Or think up a better way to guard your own 
harvester.  --then post about it here.

Here's one way: Build 3-4 recon bikes (GDI: 2 rocket launchers).  Select 
the team, hold down ctrl+alt then click on your harvester. This will 
force those units to guard your harvester (or any object you click on). 
The whole team will follow your harvester around and attack anything 
automatically that comes in range. NOTE: Sometimes the harvester gets 
mixed up and plays tag with the units, so you'll have to watch it 
periodically.

I agree 100%.  War is HELL!!!  No rules, no limits.  If you can't take 
the heat, get out the fire...
