This laptop does random clicks a lot...managed to erase the entire build.

Okay, shortened version...

Be a capitalist or communist for this.
Basic build:
Bank
Outpost, recruit
Armory, cash
Hospital and Barracks, put armory on manpower

Make as many snipers as possible, cancel the last and start building chronite tanks. Harass with the snipers. Your partner needs to get sakatas out for you, as phantoms will probably be on the way to try to kill your tanks.

When engaging, try to be on the offense, not defense, for your enemy to have less kiting range. Charge the chronites, then hold once in range. If done correctly, it should oneshot the entire enemy army, or at least a large portion of it, allowing a second or third shot to finish it. It'd be nice to have a good meatshield in front--sphinxes or romans work well.

You'll have a large amount of spare resources. Use them for snipers (preferably) or hovers. Also, get a war sanctum and demolish the bank to put something else in--anything is fine really, as it'll always be an improvement. Use your influence on sphinxes and medics.

The main enemy of this build is massed snipers. If your opponent masses snipers, go your normal anti-sniper build, as this build will fail. Any other ground unit is rather easily killed by the splash and damage of the tanks.

This build only works on safe skies/low tech. It might work on earthquake, but things are...different there, and it's probably countered by something.

This was created by Alt (thisisnotanalt) and revised by me. It was created before the update that brought in things like the war sanctum, so the basic build does not include it. Links to the original build:
http://armorgames.com/community/thread/4242380/general-colony-discussion/page/40 (first post on the page)
and
https://armorgames.com/community/thread/4300384/alts-favorite-colony-strats/page/1 (the ground strategy)

And now it's done...leave questions/comments/flames that chronite tanks absolutely suck and hovers completely own them.

You didn't mention the anti-sniper build. At least I don't need this strategy. Lol.

Well, there's a lotta anti-sniper builds I guess...

This is a ctank build, not a howtokillsnipers build
