"Telemachus needs a counterpart"

Regulus and his standoffishness Plus some other stuff.

from Demigod Forums

I've begun to call Regulus "Telemachus" often. I think the character is well designed and a vibrant character, but I feel like he needs a nemesis. I don't like having to be locked into playing Regulus if the other team has one, which I feel like one has to do. Regulus is great, but his "standoffishness" makes him a thorn in the side of the enemy. Not to say one doesn't want that, but there should be some kind of rebuttal to his behind the front lines attacks. Mines make him general like, and allow his troops to advance easily; and a pace back from the front line makes him difficult to address. I'm not screaming about fairness in the game, but I do think he's imbalancing, and like I said, if I'm playing a game wherein the other team has chosen him, I feel like I need to play him in order to balance it out.

I have a character idea...hopefully you don't think this is insipid. This is not in relation to regulus, but another character entirely. What I kind of imagine is something of a mechanic, Perhaps a Dwarven Demigod whose primary purpose is to build and repair things. I can imagine a good handful of abilities to go with. fixing broken structures...Perhaps even replacing them at higher levels (I actually think this is a good idea, the ability to rebuild previously existing structures to their original, this could be a way to "come back" from a seemingly tidal wave of attack against you, If things got bad late game). The ability to build small trebuchet/archer towers. I had a pair of very specific abilities in mind, the ability to summon gnomes to go about fixing things in general, or perhaps to fix something in specific...or tasked to build things for him. And the ability to either mine or supplement the income of himself of the team.

This is not in the right forum, but...I think the cat animation for Sedna's mount needs to be improved, it should be more cat like, they're elegant animals, and I don't think her cat is. Also the queen of thorns beetles, they should look like the little robots they are. I would kind of like the thorn animations to be elaborated on as well...

Telemachus was the son of Odysseus in the Odyssey.  He and his father and a crippled old guy killed 50 armed punks by having the old guy hold them off with a spear while the other two shot them full of arrows.

Quoting Flurus, reply 1
Sorry to ask but what Telemachus mean
End of Flurus's quote
It means "Far fighter" in greek, it was a derrogatory term applied to Odysseus' son for not engaging in battle.

From what I've seen Oak can be made into an effective Regulus counter utilizing movement speed boosts and penitence. Also Rook with a tele-stone and staff of renewal gives him a good run for his money.
