Much as I love this game, I feel that Colony could use some revamping to make the game funner. If you feel the same way, post here!

BTW, please don't include "get rid of the hackers/glitchers!" We all know that hacking is stupid. This is for gameplay issues ONLY.

Here is a list of possible suggestions:

Units:

Marines: Better attack and hp
Chronite Tank: Faster attack rate, speed
Sniper: Better anti-air
Black Queens: Faster ground missile repeat rate, weaker damage
Sakata MK-II: Improve repeat rate, decrease health
Sakata Spiders (Mod Sakata included): Increase HP as to be able to survive one missile
Sphinx: Remove from game. Crappy unit. Replace with something else
Other: It seems to me that whenever I play Dogfight mode it becomes a battle of Scouts. While that's nice and simple, I think there might need to be another air-to-air unit.

Gameplay

Influence: In general, influence is never gained easily, besides by the Communists and Monarchy governments. Perhaps a slight increase is needed.
Governments: The Communists gain too little energy, the Fascists gain too little supply, the Capitalists gain so much money between waves it's not even funny, and the Monarchy is too FRIGGING SLOW TO BUILD THINGS. Yes, the government system is nice, but also a little too unbalanced.

Feel free to write your own suggestions below.

lol noobslayer, that's obvious :P

Romans shooting air would be funny though. Same with hovers.

Now that would be something to see. Revenge against those phantoms.

I just use Satakas or whatever they are called. Some of the best AA units in the game.

Hmm what if Satakas MK-I and MK-II combined for MK-III fire on ground and air? Or maybe just get access to both at once.

They ARE the best antiair units in the game :P They're called sakatas by the way, but you were close

Also, commanderdude, here's what you do. Kill their base, but make sure they have air units left. They won't lose yet because of their air units. Then, select your hovers and press charge. Watch the lulz unfold.

Custom match types have been suggested millions of times before, but they really would be awesome :'D

There's a glitch in colony that allows ground units to fire on air units. Hovers vs black queens = EPIC WIN

Modified Sakata Mkll, costing at least 100 influence. That would actually be pretty cool.

Actually havehad this happen just never with hovers. Now I know what im going to do next time on colony.

On topic what about upgrades you could buy for your base like rapid fire gun with less power or buy health back kind of things?

I think that type of stuff would be a great thing to add for a future update, or even a Colony 2 if there will be one.

But NO BUYING MORE BUILDING SLOTS. That would be bad.

Nope four is a good number. Changing that would make it a different game.
