So, since my last competition was pretty much a discussion, I'll now close that and move over to this general colony discussion (the others are all specific)
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO COLONY (and beef burgers)
Sorry for double, but i forgot to mention that i have also tried this in multiplayer. It does work if you're partner at least knows what he is doing. Maybe someone can do this better than me because i do not player as communist that much (or not at all), feel free to alter it as you please.
If you're partner rushes scouts for the above build, you will cause some devastating damage because they must make marines, which is the only good anti air for scouts early game, but you're snipers will pick them off giving you free money & influence which will cause some devastating damage mid ------> late game. You will get most of you're structures up (if not, all of them) when they finally fend off the scout rush.
About 14 on Glastondale right now. I never even check beatrix anymore. I remember when people were anxious for a third (jetzul, was it?) server. That was when colony was posted on other websites.
