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)
Saints are much more difficult to get than Prides are. Also, if you're running a Cap build, you'll have a LOT of trouble getting 50 influence to even get one out >.>
Plus, Prides actually deal 1 damage to Saints. They have a rapid attack, so by the time you have 1 Saint, they can have something like 3 Prides, which will deal more damage than you'd like to your Saint.
Bank -> Post -> Rax can get Snipers in time, but they can just nuke you D:
i mean a pure rush. just forge. the opponent would be forced to get an outpost and build tanks, then the forge guys would switch to scouts then the outpost guys would switch to marines, etc. who would win do you think
Monarchy is overpowered IMO. I just discovered a build with it that is not counterable besides missiles (or get into mid-late game, but by then you have a mass amount of resources to spend on units). It goes bank, forge, make roman and put it on the middle of the map, power generator, solar grid, you already have enough for 2 modified sakatas, start unrallied roman spam, then make 2 mod sakatas, make another power gen and solar grid, and there you have it, an uncounterable build by any early means.
