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)

That would be pretty epic, but how would the weapons and skills sort
We all know one could be way overpowered than the other

ONTOPIC EVERYONE!

Colony = cool
It's slowly losing players though.

Grandslam, you could at least contribute something about Colony so you don't go off-topic either...

There are pros and cons to that, when the game just came on here, and only a few people were in the lobby room (including Krin) it was really fun. Of course when I was trying to have a nice convo with him, little fanboys would come on going "OMGOSH KRIN, WHERE IS SONNY 3?!"

Yeah, sooner or later it'll just be arranged people coming and playing a short game instead of random people facing random people.

And Krin doesn't go on servers anymore (Broken computer)

I think that was all in the same night XD

Well, we really covered everything, all that is left is to think of what doesn't exist. Anyway, go ahead and make a topic Jikek.

im "rude" quite often. trust me get used to it.

ill do what bronze did.
1. modded sataka
2. 10 meds
3. phantom
4. special ops.

now all the influence units are very situational. like i would never choose a modded sataka if i dont have a force to defend them. if i was playing out post then 10 meds might be my best option. etc.

Hi guys, I just decided to make an alt on colony and do a little experiment to see how far I could get in rank without losing. I also figured out the ranking system, lol.

Turns out you need a certain win ratio, and a certain number of games played. The number of games played is the rank# squared.

My alt's stats so far:

Hey guys...

This may have already been solved, but I disagree with the defense structures, to a point. I feel that that would change this great game to a Tower Defense game. They would have to be fairly weak.

The rank system is simple, you need a certain amount of points for each rank, all I remember is 3000 points for rank 5.

Win=30 points
Loss=10 points
Consecutive wins(n)=15(n-1) points

If your confused on consecutive wins, lets say you have two consecutive wins, you get a 15 point bonus, 3 CWs? 30 points. So the more consecutive wins, the faster you rank up.

THat said, if you lose 300 of 300 games, you will still be rank 5. In other words, rank means very little.

Anyways, influence units:
-Meds
-Sakata
-Phantom
-Spec Ops

I often forget to use them anyways.
