Forest Drop

1.03 - May be valid in higher versions

    First, you need a zeppelin and a siege weapon (catapult, ballista, mortar, meat wagon), then use your siege weapon to make a hole (one shot needed) in the middle of a forest area and finally drop yo ur siege weapon in this forest hole. Now, guess what, your siege weapon cannot be reached by opponent melee, nor by opponent ranged if u place right (you have 100 range while they have 45 un-upgraded, and at most 65 upgraded). So your opponent will need either his own siege weapons or some air to ground units to get you take back your siege weapons in your zeppelin.

Strategic uses ? Well, u can prevent an opponent to mine if u find a safe hole at 100 or less range of his peon line (NE excepted) or pound some of his key buildings. You can also use it defensively, getting an unreachable siege weapon in a key position of your own base (provided he still doesn't have his own siege weapons).

Cons ? It is hard to pull it up at the no upkeep stage as it cost u 5/6 food and high level creeps to defeat early on. So, it is better suited during the low upkeep stage. It take quite a lot of micro time, but will force your opponent to spend as much micro time if he wants to get rid of the annoyance. 

Advantage? The risks of yo ur zeppelin and siege weapon getting caught while in the forest are very low even if you are microing elsewhere in the same time.
