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)

Did the name change, or did you spell Sphinx wrong?


I do that all the time >.> It's because I'm used to the cat-spelling.

1 saint and 1 sphinx? You said late game so I was assuming saint+sphinx spam.

Only 1 saint and 1 sphinx? That's easy as shit to counter. Marines are decent vs sphinx and good vs saint. Romans wtfpwn sphinx for breakfast. Not to mention, by the time a monarchy player gets both sphinx and saint, a good forge player would already have armory+manufactory. You won't be needing hovers to kill 1 sphinx and 1 saints. All you need is like 5 sakatas (or marine spam) and like 20 romans to destroy both a sphinx and saint. Which is easily possible.

yes you can make thouse units but any good monarc would missile them way befor thay became a threat.
the only good ways to defeat a good monarc are to make black queens and charge them then hold them so they missile the medics (ouch...)
or to rush.

A question: Why is there no auto-login like NG? In NG, the game automatically links to the NG server.

You're kidding, right? Missiles? Missiles are a joke, no good player has used them since... ever.

Do you realize how much a missile costs in comparison to marines and sakatas? Not to mention if you plan on rushing saint+sphinx you won't be able to spam missiles.

Black queens are overrated. By the time you get black queens, you can get tons more hovers. Queens also get their asses handed to them by sakatas.

Hovers+sakatas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Queens anyday. I usually add one queen to snipe the ground units, but other than that, hovers are the way to go.

missles are overated. takes too long costs too much cant make units fast either, only 2 at a time even with 100, forge or outpost can just spam weak units to protect stronger ones and they waste resources shooting them so real attack owns them.

Yeah, nukes are only good if you're having a hard day and want to whack some scummy noob. A few spammed infantry make missiles useless.
P.S. Monarchy strat is fun... but can't stand up to conventional strats.
P.P.S. First Forum post! Cheers! =)

I just got a strange bug
i was playing safe skies match normally and all of a sudden in the middle of the battle i couldnt control my units i try making new ones but i coulndt see them. My partner was asking me if i am there but i couldnt answer to him . i could only watch and see my partner overpowered by enemy forces withought being able to do nothing about it
has this ever happened to you?
is that a bug of the new version?
P.S. i checked my connection and it worked fine at the moment .there was no lag but suddenly i couldnt built any units nor talk only watch

You are a noob, but many others are not. They can even spam missiles to own a hover tank build.

A slight mistake and the prides will pwn you.

Missiles are OP in a Monarchy early-game rush. Bank -> Ops -> Prides is basically unbeatable (a Hospital comes up right after the first Pride). The only good counters are Special armored units, and the quickest one is either Pride (which is ignored in this circumstance, since Bank -> Spec Ops is the fastest and most efficient Pride anyways), or, ignoring that, Saints. Saints can come rather early if the enemy does nothing but a Bank -> Hospital -> Sanctum build, but that comes late relative to the Prides from the Bank Ops build. Any other rush can do damage, but not enough to severely punish the Bank Ops player (a single Missile = dead Snipers, dead Romans, dead Tanks, etc.).

That said, even the Saint rush can only be done as Monarchy. Conclusion? Monarchy is imba.

hey vincentpop do you have the bug where your rank resets after the update. Example I was a rank 3 after playing on new version for a while but then I stopped to get lunch and then when I came back I was rank one with 0 wins games and win ratio -.

I'm a noob, right. Go ask around.

Any half-decent player knows how to make missiles hit only 1 hover at a time.
