A way to make the games end quicker....

from Demigod Forums

I was recently playing with the settings for 2v2 game.

I put on High damage for creeps and low whatever for towers. I was plesently surprised to take a down a tower in the first 2 minutes of the game play. Every successive time I took out an opposing demigod I would run to a tower and raise it. I also took a side portal and watched as my creeps picked apart part of the nightmares base for me. If these settings were the new "Normal" settings I think it would make the gameplay more pleasing. The game I played lasted around 15-20 minutes.

Try it out and let me know what you all think.

Hmm, we should have a game with players with these settings. AIs are just...a totally different game.

I'm down to try it! Sounds like a great idea.

You don't need to tweak creep.  I have been going with creep normal and towers weak.  This has given me a bunch of really great games.  For me I got almost all the games between 15-29minutes.  The pacing felt really good.  I encourage everyone to try this.

 

On a related note, don't try drinking and staying up to 5am.

I also found that playing with towers on week makes the game much more fun to play.  If you lose focus on your defences for a minute they can fall.  I think this gives the game more strategy and helps the stalemate problem.

i like having the ability to destroy towers fast when im needing the game to be short.

I am glad everyone has tried these settings and found how pleasing the results are.

I almost always do that now : weaker towers shorten the game.

yah I've been playing strong grunts, weak towers, and draconic resurrection too.  The last one means dying is actually, you know, a penalty.
