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)
Actually I like the game on normal and hate especially the earthquake mode. Missles is not overpowered, but the counter against it may not seem intrutive. I played a 1 vs 2 in a game where my opponents choose to use missiles. Over a long struggle eventually I have both forge and outpost maxed, destoryed enemy groups of snipers with a single blackqueen, and pulled out a few gladiators to tank the enemy missiles. From there I removed an armory for a hospital. Win condition was achieved with the single gladiator standing just outside the enemy town backed by 7 medics, they throw like 8 missiles and some tanks on my glad as the last resort but ultimately failed. Nothing the enemy had was able to stop this lockdown so they both quitted as I throw everything I had for more blackqueens.
If there is a thing need to be fixed for the game, it is the balance issues.
Gorditz is totally useless in ALL situations. Cost too high and damage too pathetic. The sakata spider (anti-ground one) fall to the same catagory. If you need a fodder use romans.
Both can be usefull if given anti-missile armor just like the blackqueen, hover tank and gladiator, so that gorditz could actually be used for countering blackqueens (the mk2 and gladiator are still more effective anti-air).
Though, these issues are minor when compared to numerous cheaters on the servers who just ruin all the fun.
