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)

if you can guard them with Hover Tanks


this is extremely useful in Safe Skies or Low Tech




This is when Groditz become useful

Groditz are useful early game when nobody has tier 2 yet?
****. Groditz are even crazier than I thought.

There's another unit that becomes extremely useful in many situations. It's called the marine. And they only cost 2 manpower!!!

If you have one million of them, they can destroy any unit in the game. Just build 3 War Sanctums and a post and keep pumping them out. When you reach 100 million marines attack. Game over. They will even beat the mighty Groditz!

lol the thread is really alive again, anyways was off of colony a while, focusing on stickarena (anyone play?)

Dark12345673243546758909768756435, u luv groditz waaay to much, u r using false facts to appraise an underpowered unit that in simple terms, sucks ***.

Btw, nice vid POS i lol'd

Capitalist is overpowered, the amount of resource gain allows u to screw around and adapt to your opponent a lot more.

But i suck a tier 1 post :P, you can as COntinuity or MBA that..

But i forge ok-ish

The sacrafice scout works splendidly, and for anyone else
reading this, it is a lot harder than that sounds. Need to have a fast reaction and good micro.

I'm just trying to find new strategies, and Groditz has worked before, just not in Normal or Cold war.

What happened to the "monarchy is overpowered"? Or that Communist is too weak!?

1,000,000 Marines will die from 1 Chronite shell.

About charging Marines, that's a good idea but you will take fire from the scouts. I can easily spread my armada into 4 groups to reduce the damage. Marines are really super broken, but at the top level of play people should be able to beat them with scouts.

Wow double fail quoting for the both of you, though hats off for dark123456789 for trying to teach vita how to quote and then misquoting it himself!

Try looking at the BB code guide in the newcomer's section for more info on how to quote and other stuff.

1,000,000 Marines will die from 1 Chronite shell.


Actually I think some (relatively) marines would survive from that due to the way I've seen splash being taken in.

THIS THREAD FINALLY WORKS AGAIN

What do you guys think is the most useless unit other than groditz, glads, and far snipers?

This will be my 5th try at posting something.....

@Dark1324564322134356765432456786543213435i12NGSONioegnaiuIUAD, I beat you 1v1, your argument is invalid.

@Power I kinda like fars if things are at a standstill...pisses the opponent and forces them to make a move

Groditz and Gladiatiors are worse than $H1T, they are more like dog $H1T that people step on...the only thing that is on par with a groditz is another groditz in terms of use...

Btw, whats the order of build speed? I know that Facist is fastest and Monarchy is slowwww, but is Commi slower than Cap?

I hope this works. I really hope you guys can see my stylish BBCode. I haven't had to use this in a year or 2.

It really doesn't matter. One person might not be able to reach 1,000,000 Marines. Flash has its limitations, and maintaining 1,000,000 overlapping objects with numerous variables is way too much for it to handle. Even the Smartfox server Jetzul reaches its limit before Flash can.

Now I also hope this works.

Grodtiz are actaully really powerful. In low tech I imagine games being a standoff between Phantom-Scout versus Meditec-Grodtiz. Not to mention the possible Monarchy derp stuff. I had a 2v2 strategy that revolved around the Grodtiz (in Colony v6.1), which I made solely with a pro from the birth of Colony (RenegadePalyer). Really strong, and took me 2 days to come up with.

A28-Gladiators are good sponges. They love to soak up the pains of the battlefield. You really don't need Meditecs to make 1 or 2 useful. The Meditecs are only for a pure android army.

Monarchy Commi and Capi all have the same build speed.

Groditz arent useless though the timing window in which they come in is rather awkward. It's too late to help in the early game and too weak for the late game.

They are pretty much support units and are quite useful in pins and countering dual builds.

Gamemaster here believe or not because of being bored i read through all comment posted on this since late 09 this is my first time posting on this thread and i believe that I'm a well respected and known player I would like to make a few suggestions though in my opinion are completely hopeless because krin cant update and it will be about 6 year until colony 2 comes out which by then the colony player base will have moved on... but anyways i wanted to suggest ---> next post
