it can be useful in battle where you are fighting close to trees. the fire damages enemy units and buildings but not your own

TheShadowDawn pretty much said all of FF's uses in a game. Although a really OP strat with FF is in a 2vs2 game agains a Thor/Odin and Gaia. Once they get LOS of your TC, Gaia invokes her forest and FF the TC down. Can be done early Classical free and is devestating. Then the free Valkyrie is usuallly used to kill off any vills. Then they usually double your poor ally and then it's gg. Really cheap way to cripple someone.

u could always use it as a campfire:O forest fire would be sooo coool (op but still) soo cool if u could use it on that map with the major forest of trees arround a pool in the centre and have it burn the whole way through.. but alas it can sometimes help in the crucial moments of a rush when slowing the wood gatherers down for even a few seconds helps you build an advantage and alot of the time they'll get wounded and be easier to pick off

i find forest fire to be good for destroying towers
in almost every game i have played, there is atleast one tower.
and in alfheim, you might have a towe inside a u-shaped ring of trees
i suggest you burn those, since people like to cut down that place first, its shaping wont let vills get out so fast

15 vills at the 7 minute mark would hurt majorly, and seeing as you would be doing that on a water map you would also be able to outmass their navy and kill all their fishing so another 15 vills, so 30 vills total that early in the game, i would say that = gg.

i dont get how anyone can say it sucks...
especially on maps such as alfheim, surround the enermy ( next to a forest) and use it, it will win you the battle easily, also it can kill villies when raiding, or take out buildings which is extremly good ( or at least i think it is), it can be used greatly but i got to admit that sometimes it can suck... alot.
