These are basically all the things i know about colony
Why should my advice be trusted? ive played 134 games and am rank 5, so give them some thought and improve them if possible.
Bugs
-Cheating in earthquake and dogfight: since u cant make air units in earthquake or ground in dogfight, heres how you get around that(if u use this i consider u a cheater unless someone did it before u making u resort too it). What you need too do is memorys the hotkeys for every single unit, in a dogfight if u know the hotkey for a marine u can make one if you press it, its that simple.How too counter this glitch? there is no way.
-Exploding units: my most hated and the most anoying glitch ever, when u have a massive3 army(about 20 units) and u attack an enemy who has alot less, instead of a fight his units will just explode. Two armys of same size will instead self distruct 1 unit from each side.How too counter this glitch? always attack with a small army before it becomes too massive on both ends and the glitch occurs.
-Units randomly exploding: if ur units are in the middle of the field blockading the enemy(see blockade under strategy section) And they randomly start too explode, what happens is a video glitch, on ur screen ur units are no where neer the base but on everyone elses they are being fired at by the base. how too counter? move ur units all the way back and try it again usually helps.
Strategy's
-Blockade: Note, i coined this strategy. The blockade is as simple as this, make an army and place them at the center of the field, close enough too where the enemys troops spawn. What this does is kill any troops they try too make and prevents them from making a large army. if u do this right its an auto win.
Earthquake
- at this moment heres things you shouldnt do, dont make a blockade unless u have medics(this is not a contradiction of what i said about the bug, if ur tanks r close enough too the enemy they wont explode, only take dmg so medics will heal any dmg from a blockade)dont make a bank(hover tanks dont cost money) and dont make gladiators(why? hover tanks massacre them).What i do? 3 armory's making manpower and sometimes energy with an armory making hover tanks.
Dogfight
Blockade works nicely here, its gutsy but heres how u can make a blockade, make a forge(first thing u do) then instantly make a small army?(people make banks first usually so u have time too attack) and if done right they will not be able too make troops while ur partner gets his economic buildings up.
- heres what i do if i have time, Get an armory a generator(tier 2) Then build two forges, when needed auto build two scouts at a time.
-Lastly DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER build a black queen, they are the most useless thing u can have in dogfight and u will definatly loose if u do this, why? because black queens dont destroy groups of air units all at once like they do with ground units. and they will be pawned by scouts.
If you have knowledge about other tactics and stuff about colony please post it.
Hint: rank 1 is not the highest rank, its the lowest, i dont know if rank 5 is highes but i know u get it at a 77% win, i only have 82% so i cant say if theres a rank 6
Out of all the strategies here they don't mention 1 thing. Gladiators suck not just because of hover tanks, but because anything can kill them. If you have a groditz and a chronite tank, they die. I'm serious.
groditzs are almost too good too, especially in low tech. To me, low tech is for noobs who are afraid of hovers and gladiators
Anyone who is good at colony plays normal, because in a game that restricts certain units, it means the people who play it are afraid of the units that are restricted

... O_O
In my opinion, groditz are almost always useless. They take too long to get to be useful in early-game, and they're too slow and weak to be useful in late game. And there's really no "middle-game" except for several seconds where people might be waiting for a bit more money so that they can get an arsenal.
Low Tech is for people who want to have rush 2v2, not necessarily noobs.
im only rank 3! DUDE what is up with this game how many games do u have to win or beat to get another rank i need to find these ranks out and a good way to win is to make a speacial forces then build special forces then a forge then own them with forces and scouts
@brandroid Your good way to win isn't exactly going to work if your up against pros. Not saying its bad but they could have already rushed you. Back to your rank problem. All you have to do is play I think about between 50-70 games and have a good consecutive win streak. (to get rank 4).
