Lose the peer-to-peer connection

from Demigod Forums

As the titlte says why not just change the whole idea of peer-to-peer connection to a server like all the other popular games do?

It has already been shown that they work properly without connection issues or anything on a huge scale unlike Demigods.

I bought this game together with a couple of friends and we can't even play together, it has really made me regret I ever bought this game, it's a shame about the gameplay cause you did an excellent job there.

Before an angry swarm descends upon you, the vast majority of RTS games are actually variations on P2P and for good reasons, main one being it reduces latency. And at this point there isn't likely to be a rewrite of the whole netcode to turn it into a client-server model :P

If you're curious, Frogboy put up a post regarding WHY Demigod is P2P, and not server based here:
