i keep hearing so many great things about colony. how its so awesome and its re-playability is head and shoulders above the rest. yet i fail to find any enjoyment in it. its okay. a solid 7.5 out of 10. but i cant see al the hype about it. of course, this is only MY personal opinion, but i wnated to see if anyone agrees with me.
Xenon19, I don't have to ask you your skill level in Colony. This is because you said it is slow paced. I don't think a RTS game can be slow paced. This tells me you have little experience (less than 3 hours) in the game. Also, you can't compare Colony to Llama Adventure, besides the ability type messages. I understand you played Exit Path, as you told me in your post, and said it was a fast paced game. Exit Path is a 1.5PD (Player Dimension) game; which means you can race others online but you can't interact with them in matches. The only time you can interact is when setting off a certain trap (I call it the spike launcher). Your last comment in the post says" A game has to be your style if you want to play it.", which is not true. You are confusing want with like, I think.
POS, you can be the worst player at Colony, but still like it. It would be frustrating losing every game, but you will find it fun.
....in the end the "fun" rating(1-10) varies on the skill of the player..... if u r closed minded u will save up and build, if u r at least at my lv(plzzz im not boasting so calm down) u will think but take ur time or above me u will dominate the match "before" it begins. In a match with one of our best players aka the "ro" faction u will do one of either 2 things, have a long heart-RACING match which will strain ur abillities to their limits and not be dissapointed once the match reaches its conclusion, or u will have a match in which ur closed minded-ness(....) will cost u the game and the experience, for u will be DESTROYED without full knowledge of wat just happened, the "ros' of colony have taken wat has been placed before them and "tinkered" with it to find new possibillities for it, thusk making a rts nearly a mmo. Do not misunderstand me other regular players have gone through the simple route and have either enjoyed wat they have seen, or have not... To put this in simpliest forms whether or not u enjoy the game is based upon YOU, how u utilize the engine of the game determines your skill level, rank, REPUTATION, and of course how much fun u have. Should u choose to wait, and wait, and wait, untill u have a sufficient amount of funds to either spam a huge lag-army, or use your mind and win small battles before the war is entirely up to u in the end. Yes i am a colony supporter (who has lost some of my attraction to colony because of its players) but dont think i am bias, at the end of the day it is YOUR decision.. hate it or love it, if u dislike our forums on colony pay no attention to them, if u r a fan join us, but before u write colony out as "nothing special" understand why we see it as special... i apologize for this long-winded post, i am no longer a colony fanatic so this wasnt in my plan but when u have material to work on, ideas just flow, thanks if u had the attention span and patience to read this.

Well, I know I do
But what I mean is that Colony can't be enjoyed FULLY unless you are good at it. You can hardly compare the fun of a standard noob 2v2 to an epic pro 2v2 (most of the time).
