When advising others, wouldn’t it be wise to use the words as they was intended and not make up your own definitions

1. Almost but not quite: The coat nearly fits.
2. In a close manner; intimately: a matter nearly affecting our interests.
Here is a blanket statement from me (which I’ll be happy to prove BTW).
In smaller games (KOTH type), intelligent use of fighters is a game winner more often than not.

And here is another one (also easily provable).
Fighters are a very useful tool in late game if used correctly.

It takes skill and a well thought out strategy (and a lot of micromanagement) to get full use of late game fighters. That few people use them in late game does not mean they are useless. I have personally used them with great success and had them used against me with equally great success (for the other guy).

Fighters are a great tool. In fact fighters are one of the things making SEIV a great strategy game, promoting skill and imagination instead of just brute power.
