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.

Adding music to the lobby would suck. It would be totally pointless, unless he has a very big mute button somewhere on the frontend.

And having missiles cost influence would kinda kill their usefulness. You would get to use 'em pretty infrequently.

The modified phantom needs to be improved, but the modded sakata is amazing.

36. 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.


That would hinder the game more because it would TAKE away strategies rather than add. There would no longer be any use to a Roman rush or just any hit and tatic, it would infact make the game even more about turtling.

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


I've been asking Krin that since I first came onto Colony, and when Krin actually played it.

Healer that heals base...we will now have a new, epic defense to the roman rush! THE HEALER RUSH!

So, you see 15 romans heading to your base. Good thing you made about 4 base healers! The romans charge...shoot the base...but they get bored because it will take...ONE MORE VOLLEY of roman shots to kill the base! Thus, they shoot the healers...which all die instantly. Then, the base dies!

THE END

Sakata spiders are useful for burst damage on Sakata MKII, they do better than anything else for forge for killing them.

38. Fix The Glitch That Causes The Chronite Tanks, Hover Tanks, A25-Romans, Sakata Spiders, Phantoms, Modified Phantoms And Modidfied Sakatas To Attack Air Units After The Enemies' Base Falls because it ruins the game.

...seriously?
This is STUPID. The first is: WHEN THE BASE FALLS, THE GAME IS ALREADY OVER. Okay, you have 9999 phantoms, they have about 20 sakatas, and 50 hovers with medics. The hovers kill your base, now what? 20 sakatas will shoot down your phantoms no matter what due to splash, and it's FUN watching a HOVER shooting phantoms. It's just a simple targetting thing, and lag, that makes it this way...which makes a random unit the "base", once this unit is killed, the game will end.

I repeat, THIS IS POINTLESS, AND SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE GAME, BECAUSE REMOVING THIS REMOVES SOME OF THE FUN. I bolded it for you too. I have no idea WHAT logic you have that makes you think it "ruins" the game...

28. You Need To Fix The Following Problem because it's confusing. I noticed that the Treasury has no special unit, but the Solar Grid does. They r both the same thing except for the resource they give you.

It was made this way. Same with the outpost VS forge on resource gen.

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

He's already making it an influence generator.

16. Change The Maximum Amount Of Influence You Can Have To 9999 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.

Uhh, how about a GREAT, SIMPLE idea: Spend it?

8. 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

Stupid. WHO is going to be in vet's hall anyway? After about 20 games, a player already has a grasp of strategy. No one really TALKS about strategy in the chat mostly either, and you could have the best strategy, but without a knowledge of microing and stuff it's useless.

31. Show Your System For Rank Points The You Told Someone About because right now I am just guessing. This should be put in the stats box.

They're "hidden" for a reason.

15. Change The Deploy Special Forces To Make Influence because the elite forces really don't help that much, so it would just be easier just to change that spot to a influence resource gatherer because influence is hard to come by in the game.

Hypocritical much? If we have an influence generator AND a shield AND missiles we'd have too much. Influence is hard to come by? You were just implying it was easy to come by because "it was always at 100".

32. 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.

They are 1 unit. If you sent out ANYTHING into a wall of hovers or sakata MKII, and it was the type it shot (ground/air), it will be annhilated. A modded phantom, in a phantom army, helps. A modded sakata is already really good.

13. Add A Sun To The Background because the game doesn't make any sense. What I mean is, how is the solar grid getting energy from the sun if there is no sun. I am not saying that the game sucks, but it makes no sense.

It could be concentrating energy from the moon, but using ordinary solar panels to recieve the concentrated light.

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.

Read General Colony Discussion please. All of it. Krin said that he could not patch hacks if he didn't know how it works, BUT he's working on a new system that helps to block hacks.

New servers? Choose a random general name from the campaign, it could be Mortfang or something.

9. 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.

Utterly useless, we have ranks, win ratios, and games played already. Having it ONLY 1v1 is also stupid.

colony also needs some strong def units that can take a lot of damage but don't attack cause its impossible to use anything against lots of snipers

What if they have 50 snipers and 10 medics, and you haven't gotten a single phantom?...

Put in a few hovers and...ouch.
