I... don't really like this game as much as I did, I haven't logged in, in about 2 weeks. Like many of Krin's games I found them to be boring after playing them for about a week or two, I haven't really found a game that I want to play over and over in awhile. The problem with Colony is that it's to short, too boring, and it's campaign is very cheesy, I expected this game to be a bit like Mastermind World Conqueror, I was extremely wrong. Some of the things I actually liked about this game is that it had a lot of characters, but it wasn't nearly as good as Masermind, or Starcraft which is what he said this game was based off of, if he wanted to base Colony off Starcraft, at-least make the marines look like marines, instead of humans dressed in black suits with a pellet gun, they were as weak as Hell. But basically I'm saying that the game gets boring to fast, Krin should make a better game with his time an I don;t plan on playing this in the far and near future. It's also too much like Warfare 1944, it's basically a warfare set in the year 2150, gets boring, a bit too much originality and everything else I think this game has flawed.

Well, this game is more similar to starcraft than warfare, but, you do have a point, it's simply the fact that there's nothing NEW, Krin needs to make a game that he constantly updates.

Not really, in Warfare you send your dudes out across the battle-field hoping they destroy the opposition, thats what Colony is. In Starcraft, you have a very large map, and can upgrade just about everything, and instead of having one strip of map, you have a huge, to very small map that you must have your troops explore before you attack. Have you ever played Starcraft?

Only the campaign is short. Try playing multi-player.

Yeah... I played multi-player a ton, I was rank 5 and had a 85% win rate... I wrote this after getting extrememly bored with colony all-together.

Well, it would be a lot better if units were constantly added, no?
You could experience new things all the way.
The reason it gets boring is because there's never anything new.

I've played games like that, I don't care if Krin adds anything new, but it's not a game I would want to play over and over, they're are some games that never get old.

It does get old, it's a bit repetitive, but it's not a bad game. I think that soon many will stop playing colony.

Can you get an 85% win rate against hard-hard?

The game needs 2 player and 8 player modes.

But it's annoying when people try to join designated 2 player rounds and there are already 2 people.

Well, just ignore them, you don't need to kick them to start the game.

But what I really meant was being able to control 8 buildings.
