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)

I suck at 1v1, but I'm really good at 2v2.

Air is mah specialty, but I'm also pretty good with ground.


I've found a strategy for ground that can even beat the infamous ht rush(if you're communist) - if you build armory, outpost, bank, upgrade to treasury, then hospital, then set the armory and the hospital to manpower, you can infinitely build chronite tanks. Then, have your partner mass up AA, line up said AA, then advance the AA slightly ahead of your tanks - it'll completely destroy any air threat, and act as a meat wall to absorb damage so your chronites can get in range without being hit. Then, the enemy has no chance if you've built enough, and lined them up.

I usually get 30-40 tanks out. When you have that many lined up and you have AA, there really isn't any way to lose.



It's worked for me lots.

Also . . . 5 IS the max rank, right? I've heard lots of conflicting things.

Pretty sure 5 is the max rank, but people have been making 5+ games recently...haven't seen any rank 6 or higher people.

5 is the max rank.
Krin used to plan more, but I think he's given up on it.

I just tried alt's plan on a SS...

Enemy HAD no air anyway so we crossed out the sakata part, the other side also massed chronites and a few groditz....then they attacked and they all died on my wall of chronites
...and the wall of chronites blew up about 4 hovers.

Well, if you make a sakata meat wall, you won't have any problems with air either

Trust me, the meat wall if deadly.

Alright, dudeguy, beatrix, team channel.
You 2 can also come along.
I want to test this chronite wall as well, but it might be beatable by a huge sniper wall.

Well, that's where the sakata meat wall comes in - of course, for the sniper blockade, you have to get the jump on the opponent or you're doomed.

All I know is sniper wall owns hovers, about 10 hits will take out 1.
Alt, it's not that hard to tech up one extra tier, it's only 30$.
