THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDED:

1. More Ranks because it's too easy to gain rank when u played 500 games. I think that 17 ranks is enough for now. Make it harder to get to the higher ranks because there are players who have played over 800 games.

2. More Servers because the 2 servers get full on weekends. Problem is you need to make a cool name for it.

3. A Top Player List because I want to know who is the leader. I have an idea of how it should work. Base it on a new game type that I will explain below in number 7 and 9.

4. A Friends List because it would improve the games rating I think. The way this function works is u can make a new code like "/add username", then a request is sent to the player only if he is on that server, and the same chat room, then the other player needs to accept the request, so that they can be on their friends list, which can be a tab on the chat room list, this chat room is only made to show you all of your friends but the names are going to be color-coded. For instance, the friends that are online, not playing, in blue, the friends that are offline in red, friends that are in a chat room in green, and friends that are in a game waiting to be started in pink.

5. Find A Way To Block The Cheat Engine because I hate playing a game and losing because my opponent was hacking. I know this is very hard to stop but it ruins the game, and then you start saying that the player you lost to is a hacker and the hacker stats saying "you blame all your loses because the other player hacked" than no one believes you, so then your reputation is ruined.

6. Get Some Administrators because they can kick hackers, spammers, gossipers, nuisances, and people who are saying nasty stuff, but they need proof the player who is being called a hacker is a hacker.

7. Making One Versus One A Game Type because I want to find more and more strategies. This game type is for one versus one games only, and in order for this to count u can only play against other players.

8. Make The Vets Hall For Players Who Are In The Top 75% because I don't want amateurs listening to the pros talking about strategies. I know this one sounds dumb, but, look at it this way, I spent allot of time making my strategy, and this amateurs over hears to pros talking a he is now the best rank 3, all because of two pros were talking. I think everyone needs to find a strategy on there own.

An idea would be upgradeble units, and an upgrade on Armory marines with 20% more Armor.

Only 20%?
Marines have a very small amount of HP already.
200% more might be better...

It would be nice if the ai was more responsive to commands, such as being able to tell it to focus on ground or air or whatever and have it actually do it. Or to tell it to attack, or cover you, or whatever, so its actually useful. But thats only a minor part of the game so really not too big of deal imo. Stuff that affects multiplayer is more important.

AI is sort of stupid, they grouped 10 marines and sent them at 2 chronite tanks...

And they don't mass enough when they attack...

I think the AIs (in the campaign) should tell you what they are doing, because then you could plan around them, for example building a forge if they are going to build an outpost, and vice versa. Right now, if you ask them what they are doing, they respond by saying "null"

I am making another list it will have at most 32 things. I think.

THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED:

1. More Ranks because it is too easy to gain rank when you played 700 games. I think that 13 ranks are going enough for now. Make it harder to get to the higher ranks because there are players who have played over 1450 games. In addition, it will give me a reason to play online more.

2. A Top Player List because I want to know who the leaders are. I have an idea of how it should work. Base it on a new game type that I will explain below in number 6, 8, and 9. The list should be on the chat room list.

3. A Friends List because it would improve the games rating I think. The way this function works is u can make a new code like "/add username", then a request is sent to the player only if he is on that server, and the same chat room, then the other player needs to accept the request, so that they can be on their friends list, which can be a tab on the chat room list, this chat room is only made to show you all of your friends but the names are going to be color-coded. For instance, the friends that are online, but not playing, in blue, the friends that are offline in red, friends that are in a chat room in green and friends that are in a game waiting to be started in pink.

4. Find A Way To Block The Cheat Engine because I hate playing a game and losing because my opponent was hacking. I know this is very hard to stop but it ruins the game, and then you start saying that the player you lost to is a hacker and the hacker stats saying "you blame all your loses because the other player hacked" than no one believes you, so then your reputation is ruined.

5. Get Some Administrators because they can kick hackers, spammers, gossipers, nuisances, and people who are saying nasty stuff , but they need proof the player who is being called a hacker is a hacker.

6. Making One Versus One A Game Type because I want to find more and more strategies. This game type is for one versus one games only, and in order for this to count u can only play against other players. The color for this game type should be light green.

7. Make The Vets Hall For Players Who Are In The Top 10% because I don't want amateurs listening to the pros talking about strategies. I know this one sounds dumb, but, look at it this way, I spent allot of time making my strategy, and this amateurs over hears to pros talking a he is now the best rank 3, all because of two pros were talking. I think everyone needs to find a strategy on his or her own.

8. Make A Placement Game Type because this way people will know who is the best. It is a normal one on one game with no restrictions, but the winner gets placement points. The players with the most placement points are on the top players list. Placement points are explained in number 10. The you should use for this game type should be pink.

9. Make Placement Points because this will be the way of making a top players list. Make the points hacker proof so hackers can't hack them. Players get one point if they win these, while the losing is not penalized.

10. Add A Chat Room That Shows Players Everyone On That Server because I'm tired of having to look through all the chat rooms. This chat room is only to see who is on the server, and where they are, it is not for people to talk to each other. The players will be color-coded based on their status. For instance, blue for Lobby, green for Veterans Hall, purple for Team Channel, pink for Deutsch Zimmer, yellow for AFK Garden, orange for Top Players List, red for Friends List, brown for waiting for a game to be ready, and black for in a game.

11. Decrease The Cost Of The Deploy Modified Sakata, Deploy Modified Phantom, And Deploy Special Forces because they are not worth their cost.

12. Add A Function That Allows You To Mute Other Players If They Are Being Annoying because I'm tired of having to scroll back up to read the important messages because of stupid spammers. Here is what the function should be "/mute username".

13. Change The Maximum Amount Of Influence You Can Have To 10,000 Like The Other Resources because I'm tired of looking at my influence and getting mad because I should have more influence because it stops at 100.

14. Create A New Building That Is Use More Money To Deploy Units because it will be fun to make a new strategy for play with a 3 unit deploying structure. In addition, it will make the end game more interesting because once you have built everything money becomes useless. That is where this new building will come into play. It so that money will not become useless. In addition, this building should have many air units and it makes money.

15. Add A Unit For The Hospital That Heals Air Units because I hate how air units die so easily.

16. You Need To Fix The Following Problem because it's confusing. When you look at the options on the Bank, the first one says "Stock Exhange" do you mean Stock Exchange?

17. Add A Points Bar For the Ranks because right now I am just guessing. This should be put in the stats box.

18. Make The Modified Phantoms And The Modifies Sakatas Better because they really don't help that much. I think they should be able to attack both ground and air units.

19. Combine Both Of The Missiles Tabs In The Special Operations Building And Make Only One Missile Tab because having to missile tabs is dumb. When you combine them, the new missiles should cost 25 money, 25 manpower, 25 energy, 25 influence.

20. Make The Special Operations Building's Special Be A Shield For The Base because this will make the game very interesting and longer.

21. Add A Healer To The Hospital That Heals The Base because this will change the way players will play. It will also open doors to new strategies.

22. Increase Range Of The Sakata Spider And Give It Splash Damage Effects because they are basically useless.

23. Add Music To The Lobby because it gets boring when talking to people.

this is not a very good idea, all someone needs is to have 4 of these, while the other player builds units and such.

One thing I'd like to see added would be to be able to set a rally point. Like you could click on your base, and it would have an option to let you set a rally point wherever you want it. This way you could set up multiple lines of units without having to micromanage each unit and move it up to its line.

Colony itself already is not micro-intensive, other RTS games have much more intense micro.

And it only takes about 5 seconds to make a wall, and another second or two to thin it out.

Though I agree, rally points would be nice...

Lots of your suggestions would make the game longer, and it would create even more options for hackers to spam. (Hackers might still get through the protection)

Plus, longer = overboring

Yeah its not a big deal, it would just be a nice addition. I dont think it would be too hard to implement either, so yeah, would just be nice.

That rally point thing wouldn't be a bad idea.
Could be pretty essential for setting up decent blockades.
