Reply to [RECOMMENDATION] Item Purchasing Dynamism in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

[quote who="Curseman" reply="6" id="1887955"]The randomization would be interesting and add variety, but my understanding is that GPG and Stardock are trying to make this a big competitive game, and my experience with crazy overly competitive players is that they usually don't like random factors because they want a pure contest of skill.[/quote] I would argue that being able to make judgements on such dynamic game elements is par

Reply to [RECOMMENDATION] Item Purchasing Dynamism in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I don`t know if I was entirely as clear as I could have been with my suggestion for price fluctuations on items. What I meant was that from skirmish game to skirmish game prices fluctuate; they fluctuate based upon how popular the items were in previous games. I would champion this since 'balance' is a tricky thing to deduce, and ultimately my system simply tracks usage

[HUMBLE REQUEST] Title Track, Music in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Greetings, I love the ominous main title theme. Who is responsible for having composed it, and is there an off chance the track could be made available as a lossless mp3 or ogg? I would love to have it to listen to apart from the game; it reminds me of an advanced apocalyptic reality you might find in a (good!...) Terminator movie. And of course it is perfect for Demigod ... . More of that in the course of the game, please!

[BUG] Rook Tower Heal Audio Bug in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Rook Tower Heal Audio Bug If the Rook begins to initiate his Tower Heal ability but dies, you can still hear the full normal rushing wind and swept rock sound effects that would normally play for the duration of that ability. Since the Rook has been defeated, the ability was not followed through with, therefore of course the sound effect should not follow.

Reply to Custom Appearance By Faction, Randomization For Gateways in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Regarding random unit spawning at Gates, you could ponder the concept of featuring 'Chaos Gates' in parts of some levels/maps: Gates that when captured are less reliable than normal Gates, maybe even far less active from a frequency standpoint, but still potentially valuable to a controller. Anything to vary the play experience.

Okay - sounds like it is wise to just be grateful the BIOS procedure worked (!). Thanks folks.

Pursuant to BIOS settings, I`ve heard from other quarters that Intel defaults are actually quite superb, so I probably do not need to do any fiddling.

Reply to Returning Armada Solution in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Sakhari" reply="15" id="1869096"] Now that I think about it, Sins itself validates my idea - we *already* deal with autonomous factions interfering with our play: pirates. I count it as a major difference that pirates require no cost from the player to do what they do and even if the player chooses to pay a cost, it's clear up-front that it's a gamble (given the relative weakness of pirates beyond anything but the first wave, it's usually a losing bet).&nbsp

Hah! Back from the terrifically intimidating world of BIOS updates. Its done, my My Computer/Properties facility now declares that I have a 9650.

They need a utility or at least the capacity to record BIOS settings in a simple text file, so one could simply print them... this is going to take forever and a day... Thanks again for the info. It looks like I`ll use the Windows flash util, since this sounds like the simplest method (important for me!) and the most commonly used (couldn`t be that bad). Supposedly I just run the .exe and reboot. Regarding a Q9650 specifically, you folks think it reasonable for me to indeed ex

Thanks guys. I have a motherboard update for the DP35DP, now I just have to painstakingly record all the current BIOS settings for when the flashing resets them. Ugggh. Never done this before. Ugggh. I hope that works. Pursuant to all this, I noticed in DXDiag the cpu is not using several instruction sets (SSE4 among others) which the 9650 should have available. Also, I must say I will be really pissed if this cpu turns out to indeed be onlky a Pentium III Xeon; I don`t think

[BUG] Rook Tower Heal Upgradeable Too Early in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Rook Tower Heal Upgrades Too Early The Rook seems to be able to boost his Tower Heal ability (whatever its actual name...) out of level sequence... that is, he can upgrade to at least a level 6 (?) Tower Heal before he becomes level 6. Probably true for the entire Tower Heal tree. Should be demonstrable at any time with an upgrade point available.

The fireball however gets loosed at some precise 'in-betweener moment', causing it to travel all the way across the map and strike the rematerialized enemy. Recreate by Fir

Howdy Anybody, I just installed a new Q9650 cpu to replace my Q6600. I have seen tests that indicate a general 20% boost over the Q6600, and so I am dismayed when my fps tests for FEAR and World In Conflict come back with identical results to the Q6600.<

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="9" id="1875033"] I don't want to give much away at this point so I can't answer all these questions, but I can say that there was a misinterpretation on how Star Bases move. A deployment cell is built from the capitalship factory which can move through both subspace and phase space. Once you have the deployment cell at the desired location, you can deploy the Star Base which is then immobile. While being moved / deployed the Star Base is very v

Reply to Vision Range in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Disagree. The game works very well now - adjust outwardly the view radius of units and you eliminate a great deal of the tactical prediction involved in battling enemies. Movement speeds would have to be increased to compensate, so that players could still execute feints and/or attack in unexpected places, and that in turn would result in a much faster-paced and less playable game. I don`t want Demigod to flow like lightning, I want to have time to think and plan, as I d

Ahh yes, found it. I would posit that this effect evasion also potentially applies, as I implied above, to any type of friendly effect, not just healing. Worth consideration perhaps.
