We like it on Machination, only because bramble is an easy way to defend the top base (or bottom depending on which side you're on). Other than that, it seems to be more trouble than help. It leads to unit deficiencies and clogged space that not only slows your opponent, but your teammate. I'm sure it has its uses but, as of now, I haven't found them.

--Side Tangent Peekaboo is just plainly imbalanced for bs.

Back to the topic, Veggie vs Scallywags. I have had quite a bunch of games vs bs using bramble. I have only won two, both on thorn gully. But the simple fact of those was that it was my opponents mistakes that won me the game. The first, he placed his bs in a position that allowed me to kill it quite easily. The second game, this was approx 60turns. Eventually it got to the point where I trapped my snipers in (in order to defend my base). Kinda screwed me over. A few turns later I noticed I was going to get overrun not just by a new bs, but by being outnumbered army wise. So i used bramble's vines hide my rush to his base (now with 3 hp). My attack force was 2 runners and 1 soliders and a bunch vines hiding them. It was an attack through the centre. It won me the game simply because he didn't expect.

Also I tried challenging you to a match but couldn't find you, is your account name garcia1000? You can just challenge me, account: game_taker
Bramble is the hardest special to use. You cannot simply mass vines, because if you trap your snipers you are at a big disadvantage. I don't I could be a highly experienced bs in any map using bramble.

Isn't that what bramble is for, disguising your attack? That's his offensive ability. It's like a magic trick. You set up all of your units and then, BAM, you pull the curtain and smash. The problem is in how tough that is to pull off. If bramble gets a buff, I would think it has to be letting the children live. It's so easy to get into a big unit deficiency with one smack from a soldier. I say let the children live and give the opponent the +1 wit for thorn kill. Just a thought. I'll let you guys tear that down now.
