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)

I only did it to rank 7, dude. It's something Krin should solve: the ability to go up ranks by killing the CPU. The system should check there is another player.

It's the main weakness of the CPU: All-or-nothing rushes. The Roman rush if most effective for it.

Agreed. I hate to see that persons who are rank 10 and are as strong as rank... 4?

Sry, i thought the submit button was the quote button, im kinda tired sry :P

Thats why i won one of the first games against a hard-hard cpu :3 The roman rush is nice, but still you have no chance against a good player, so i think that all is well. Its a bit stupid to see these "cheater" who rank up with rushes, the only weakpoint of existance of rushes...

Player & HardCPU vs. NormalCPU & NormalCPU

Solution is just not to rush if noobs can watch. Mostly.

v4.2? One day after i started playing colony intense. Were you veri good? :3 I hate the monarchy government. We need to differentiate more ways to fight war now: Outpost, Forge and Modification (and ground&air lmao, horribly weak).

Some days ago i saw a rank 3 fighting with tier 1 outpost nearly perfectly... the correct positions for tanks, meds and marines etc., this is very rare today...

Today i feel like to try the ground&air way to fight. One of my accounts are rank 9 anway...

Does anyone know why I can't chat and build units in the middle of a game? Is it a server problem or just lag?

If you loose connection during a game, exactly that happens.

Just wanted to show this:

The marine is a sort of black. Bug? Most likely.

I've also discovered a powerful build-order for hover tanks:

Capitalists

1. Armory (Set on Money)
2.Armory (Also set on Money)
3. Generator
4. Barrack
5. Upgrade barrack (While waiting for the money, put it on resources)
6. Upgrade Generator/barrack
7. Put Armories on Men
8. You can wait and collet resources or pump out Hovers with Queens.

Like it? I might make a video on it.

Today i feel like to try the ground&air way to fight. One of my accounts are rank 9 anway...


I keep losing to pros and having weak partners. Very annoying.

Haha, Quicksmasher, the author of the Ultimate spreadsheet would be me ^_^

Nice work with your own spreadsheet. It seems like you're using the newest version of Google Docs.

Anyways, all in favor of me completing my research say Aye.

Also, I added in the Groditz change.

Leak: There's a new hack, it doesn't involve cheat engine or a hack website. It's something about the Colony set file. I'm checking it out.

I'm pretty sure he knows about it. I posted mine on KL XD

Anyways...I was actually considering a Colony wiki. Is that so bad?
