Fire Storm

Hi team,

I've accidently blown up many of my harvesters using the firestorm defence when a missile is on its way. Is there a way to force my harvesters not to cross the defence line while still making it possible for enemy units to try and cross?

Preferrably I would like to stop all friendly units crossing it.

Normally, I build the concrete wall on one side of the Firestorm Walls so the units need to pathfind their way around instead of over them. If you're extra paranoid, build concrete walls on both the inside and outside of the walls.

Personally, I just build a single line of wall in the known general direction of the missile launch. Because the missile superweapon can't turn mid-flight, having a single line (or two) of the Firestorm Walls between you and the missile is usually enough.

That said, it's not as useful in multiplayer due to us humans being able to simply hit somewhere else. AI opponents aren't that smart and seem to like shooting them at our bait turrets.
