I find that the strategy that works best for me, is to make shizloads of gladiators and prides. They have very good damage, speed, strength, and fire rate. Lots of people treat colony as a science. I think of colony as, "what would u do if u were stranded in a little line of dirt, with enemies on the other side of it, and u have a crappy ally, and u magically make resources to make an army to save your f'ing life, because that enemy is pretty powerful, and ur ally sure as hell isnt going to do anything useful." Obviously, make friggin strong *** robots with big strong guns to go in there and "peacfully negotiate" or as i like to say, [b]KICK SOME ***!!!!!
