Reply to Pros and Cons with new patch. in Demigod Demigod Forums

I just checked my stats and discovered that whenever a game starts with just me and the AI (due to the dreaded "player has left the game")...even if I play out the game and crush the AI the game gets recorded as a loss for me with 0 favor and the other side (who presumably did the same thing as me) get the win and a bunch of favor. WTF? I hope that once they resolve the connection problems, they come up with a more robust method of stat-tracking that handles edge

Reply to Why I don't like the new beta connecting system... in Demigod Demigod Forums

yes I believe people like you will only see improvement when SD activates the proxy system which will allow people with connection problems to connect to a proxy server which will handle all of the P2P networking and make it look like a client/server game to you. So I can understand the current beta making things a little worse for you, but in the long-run (when this unable to connect problem goes away), the current lobby system is actually more user-friendly. Hopefully this wil

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I just want to give my 3 thumbs up for this beta! I played 3 Pantheon games in a row and it never took more than 10s from when I clicked Fight! to when the map started loading! Connections were lightning fast! This is what I was expecting when I bought the game! Now I can play during my limited time instead of begging for a good connection!

I mean, can you do anything less? I can't even tell who I'm teamedup up with! Show me the team stats, show me the stats on my minions so I know when I have to summon more. Show me thw war rank so I know when to return to base for some upgrades without me memorizing how many times that dude

Reply to Shannara and other great reads in Everything Else Demigod Forums

[quote who="Ilumino" reply="21" id="2144825"] Actually "Running with the Demon" is a prequel to the Shannara series. The world of Shannara takes place in North America, after armageddon in the future. A lot of good stuff here. I'm going on a road trip this weekend and would like to get the audio version of some your suggestions. Could you guys list the suggested reading order for some of these authors/series? I'd like to try Goodkind or maybe Donaldson.

Reply to Demigod: Understanding RTS multiplayer and why it sucks in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

well as has been mentioned, in DG unlike other RTS games in which you only connect to the host, you connect to every other player. So in a 5v5 game, that is 9 ports right there to connect to the 9 other players. Don't ask me what the other 11 ports are for though. I guess you got a few that are talking to the matchmaking servers and account stats servers.

[quote who="dyingsole" reply="22" id="2186886"]Thanks for the hard work. Been running demigod pretty good since the day i got it. Tried the port forwarding thing but my router options don't look exactly the same as pictured above (Ie mine doesn't ask from 6100 To 6200 it just gives me one slot) but i enable multicast which was not enabled before. So maybe things will get better. Went to the website for the program Frogboy appears to be using and go figure my router is not compatible. D-link D

Any comments on the loss of security by turning this off versus leaving it on? &nb

i spend my points on Heal, Pounce, Inner Grace. After that, sometimes I get Silence, sometimes healing winds, sometimes the one that lowers cooldowns. I haven't settled on one yet. I also use the speed stick and speed boots. I tend to buy the heart of winter or whatever it is called. If I am fighting and get in trouble, I speedstick out of there and once out of range, I click the heart to rejuvenate my mana and health. I rarely have enough gold to save ba

[quote who="fixmyfavor" reply="17" id="2183510"]Hang on a minute there. What you said being valid is dependant upon if damage by Generals' minions is counted as damage by the General DG himself/herself in terms of award. Is minion damage attributed to the DG in award calculations? [/quote] yes minion damage gets counted towards the General's damage when calculating awards. When I played Sedna as a pure minion general, I would rack up lots of damage even tho

Reply to GameRanger says it will be requiring at least v1.0.0.93 of Demigod soon. in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="RamzaBehoulve" reply="3" id="2184059"]The day Gameranger only allows for 0.93 is the day a pirate will actually bother updating game to 0.93 and post the updated files on Mininova or The Pirate Bay. It will delay for a few days the wannabe pirates though. On the other hand, if every pirate is updated to 0.93+, we are back to square one. They will once again try to connect and look for an update on the official servers and crash them each time htey launch the game.

Reply to Can *any* Demigod beat a heal build Sedna in 1v1? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

[quote who="WickedDemiurge" reply="10" id="2179900"]Once Sedna gets Heal III, she can just instantly cleanse the venom spit off, while also healing 1200 of other damage, on the same cooldown as Spit, but for less mana. I honestly don't know how he ever managed to kill your demigod, though UB is much better at killing reinforcements than Sedna is.[/quote] You are talking Heal-3 which doesn't come until later in the game. What about levels before you get that?

Funny I played UB vs Sedna last night on Crucible (me Sedna) and I got crushed. UB just spit on me then used his auto-attack and he did damage much faster than I could heal...or I would run out of mana. He just capped the one flag that was available to fight over and then never let me cap it back--if I tried, he would show up and whip my butt. My totem priests either were bugged and would never heal me...or he did dmg so fast I never noticed. Either he was a very goo

Reply to 1v1 how to defeat UB with Regulus? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I was Sedna and came up in a 1v1 Pantheon against UB on Crucible, Fortress mode. I got creamed. There was only 1 flag to fight over (artifact/gold), so I couldn't exactly just go cap another flag while he was capping that one. There was only one place to camp creeps. I just *could not* kill him or survive his attacks. If I tried to go cap the flag, he would just go over and beat me up before the cap was complete. If I tried to get XP from creeps he would

well...I was in a 2v2 dominate game the other night, us as Sedna/Oak, them as TB/QoT. It was give and take for the first 1500 points or so, then we started racking up kills and taking over the map. By the time we got to 7k, we controlled the map, had no deaths, and they had over 10 deaths each. At that point, we just started destroying towers and let them take all the flags they could take so that we could have some fun butchering them for longer. It was sad when it
