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)

yes when it was 1v2 i was allways playing 1 noob and somewon decent the noob just made prides and meds and did not pin erly on.
as for my glad thing why dont you try and counter it comon think of somthing.......if both enimys were monerchy and made hovers and meds with 2 or so spinx behind they migh take me but again i have a partner, and/or with just a little micro you could target the spinx with the glads. then run back to get healed by the meds and the phantoms do the rest...
and endscape you have met me on colony.. but under another username (joelabay) rank ten from that strat... but now trying to get gd win ratio (86% at the moment),rank 5 i want to prove to you all both my stratergys work so if you ever see inflict on colony give me a shout and we can have a 1v1 or even 2v2 (but that might not show whos strat is best and it might go down to who has the better noob)

ummm, one last thing if u r interested, there is a seperate thread concerning "best gov" although u may have to dig for it, it is there... and my anwser to ur glad thing is simply "hover tank"...
p.s. glads hit and run on a sphinx isnt the best of ideas....

ya you are right agianst glads tanks are best... but tanks get beat by air air gets beat by sphinx, sphinx get beat by roman...... so on, colony is about haveing a good mix of units and the prpblam with being capitalist on any mode othert than norm and cw is you dont have enough aa even if you do have a sphinx in the mix. but your ally might go forge.. the by far most sucsecful rules to win the game without foxer is just simply;
1. have a decent partner
2. dont go spec opps
3. if ally has forge go outpost, vis versa
4. find what counters the bulk of the enemys units
5. pin the enemy
6.be ruthless

quite simply you could know everything about the game and be totaly unbeatable in 1v1 and if ytou have a useless partner or evan one who dose the very same as you. it would be easy to get beaten by 2 amuters exployting your weakneses
and therfore the real trick is to find a relyable parnter to always play with who you know inside out and they can tell just what your going to do even before you do it.

i think i might be on the verge of being able to beat the foxer but my method will remain unspoken until i perfect it and test it more.

more on the matter:
i would have to dissagree...
Profoxer is a diamond. Only a Diamond can scratch itself. Back in the odd days there were no such gems. Back in the old days, we had a rubies and sapphires, which don't scratch eachother.
yes but right now scienctists belive that they have found a matirial stronger and sharper than dimonds... i belive i have found a way to beat foxer and if they dont go foxer to beat that as well..
but i strongly agree with this:
By going Forge first, you limit your tech path because you waste energy.
i am on the verge of a way to counter foxter i think but what i am doing will remain secret incase it dose not work plus the stratergy needs a little more experience and testing/fine-tuneing
i now belive that colony has become stratigic mental warfare especaly at pro leval: eg; if you make 1 spinx with alot of med the enemy is likely to stop building air. or building 2 banks and a spec opps on norm gives the impretion of you making missiles, whe you could build a few prides as monarchy to trichk them and then go back to a 2 bank forge build. and if pined with units without misile armor, they r likely to retreat those units. or if they have no units i will make them build misile resistant units plus meds giving u a chance to pin or destroy and win erly on. if you build bank then outpost then send out 2 or so tanks to halfway line, people will asume foxer and try something to counter that when infact you migh build forge next and pin with scouts and take the base down with romans before they know whats happened. you could call it the element of suprise.
this works best on pros becase they know alot of strats off the back of their hand and will often jump to conclutions.
i have tested what people do depending on what you build and have tested stuff out and asked some questions.
i realy belive this phychological warfare realy is the way foward. this sort of strat works best on 1v1 and will increase your chances of wining 2v1 and could give you the edge to the game when outnumbered.
i will be back with more deatais on phyco warfare within the week.
see ya then....

I wish you would have quoted me for the diamond analogue. Few poeple say they can use my monarchy double bank to beat the profoxer.

I made the strategy back around November of 2009. It was good for 2v2 back then, but noone caught onto it so it became one of the 8 secret Soymaster strategies (now there are 24).

There is proof that someone else firgured out the strategy before you, AnbuHank. He refers to it in the following link : http://armorgames.com/community/thread/6126724/i-need-colony-help-from-all-you-pros

..... there are players who are "above" that flaw.... pegg, long ago, had a partner who had a good build butttttt was pretty... beligerent.... me and another player ended up beating him... no to brag that player i was with was good but i was better.. we both got man handled by pegg alone.... but in the end his partner let him down.. so sad...either way there a few people above that small curve.... that being pro+noob vs novice novice=novice wins

think i might be on the verge of being able to beat the foxer but my method will remain unspoken until i perfect it and test it more.
...... a few of us already have ways... mba for 1.... i came close twice but never tried again..
Profoxer is a diamond. Only a Diamond can scratch itself. Back in the odd days there were no such gems. Back in the old days, we had a rubies and sapphires, which don't scratch eachother.

WAT DA HELL r u talkin about........ simple a harder mineral scratches a softer one simpleeeee ok, WE DO NOT NEED EARTH SCIENCE LECTURES......1 strat beats a lesser strat...
