There appears to be a few major issues w/colonizing. Many players simply quit the game, once colonized.
Uprising rarely works when you can set the colony army to fight in favor of the Suz. What Suz in their right mind would ever set the suppression army percentage lower than 100% ?
I have several colonies, they throw everything at me as the Suz, strategems, uprisings, commission quests and have yet to break free. Yes there are ways to break free, but most won't stick around long enough to get there. They just figure GAME OVER. Without a more bite in the uprising feature, or limitation on the suppression army settings, newer players are just being lost right out of beginner, and not experiencing the much of the game.
Evony, consider too the $$ lost on this venture from players leaving.



that sounds fun to do if i get colonized..
make the prick's life hell
