New Demigod Idea: Cataphract in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

All these create-a-DG threads in this section are interesting to read, I figure I'd add one of my own. For those who don't know a Cataphract was a type of cavalry unit often used by Persians, Romans, etc. Many people probably know them as the unique Byzantine unit from AoE2. Yes, the name has unfortunate similarity to a certain DG map. Anyways: The Cataphract is a heavily armored and mounted demigod. I've modeled him after a typical heavy cavalry unit, albeit augmented with magical po

[quote]Demigod doesn't use a Rock/paper/scissors approach when balancing indivdual Demigods as a whole and so the method of reasoning you've detailed doesn't apply here.[/quote] I'm surprised to see you write this, since my entire post was spent trying to explain this very concept to you , who insisted that on the bad-ness of two "scissors" being able to overcome one "rock." So uh, we agree. DG is not really a RPS game, which means there is no RPS

[quote]Stacking two of the same Demigods with the same builds is a decision made by those playing the Demigod to dramatically enhance the potential those builds offer. Using one Hammer/Stun Rook with a Tower Rook is entirely acceptable - stacking two of either shifts the advantages of those builds out of the acceptable counter range The problem in Demigod with stacking two of the same builds - and you'll no

Reply to Demigod's Best Map: Prison in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

[quote]The OP states prison is a good map because the team with more squishies is easier to gank, therefor making it somehow better than other maps. Prison does not offer any lanes to allow characters to level without being constantly harassed. Prison is so small that just some boots of speed or anklets of speed allow you to go from 1 end to the other end before a flag can even be captured. Prison favors characters that get early stuns, and characters that have heals and high damage o

[quote]Those who said double rooks are not OP are the ones who probably never met good rook players. If other side got two tower rooks the game usually ends before anyone can reach level 8 (not warscore 8) You just can't stop rooks from ripping the defense apart. And Dual Sedna.... No, just no. One with that crazy active/passive healing with priest is more than enough already. You guys don't realize that while they might no

Is the salvage bonus permanent? Either way, I'd think Salvage and Trophy would be unused for the same reason no one hurries to acquire Rally with Oak. It shines too sparodically to be of value and adds nothing of value outside its one niche (dead DGs). Wild Attack would probably also unuseful because its risky to stay on low HP, extra attack speed wont help you if you get spiked out every time you try to use it. Poison + Take Advantage looks like decent damage and seems

[quote]You mentionned QoT/Sedna which I don't think anyone in this thread said is fine, I usually do not allow this combination in 3v3 games, maybe in 4v4. It's just too hard to kill and lame.[/quote] Wtf do you mean "no one said is fine." How dare you even suggest that its not fine? Thats even more BS than not allowing doubles. You cant just choose arbitrary combinations of DGs which you don't approve of and ban them. If you host your own game then

Reply to Why not doubles? in Demigod Demigod Forums

These objections are so arbitrary. Apparently its ok for people to play defense with Bramble + Heal, but not Heal x2. Its ok for people to harass with Spit + Snipe, but not Snipe x2 or Spit x2. Its ok for people to spike with Mines + Penitence, but not Mines x2 or Penitence x2. Reductio ad absurdum: Non-double teams ought to be banned! They are not fun to play against and are OP because they have different and complimentary strengths. Its so freaking annoy

[quote]On the contrary. The fact that you play in a premade means your individual skill matters a lot less, because you are always walking around with teammates ganking pubbies, or they are coming to your aid and saving your ass when you do something stupid. Premade doesn't mean you're good, and it certainly doesn't mean your opinions carry more weight. It just means you win more games. If your 75 games played were all played against other premades, then I would concede that you'

Meaningful stats in an official ladder require a good matchmaking system, and need to completely disgregard custom games. Players must play impartially decided opponents with standardized game settings. The moment players can choose their own opponents they can ensure that they never/rarely lose by refusing to play good opponents. Sure, it will take longer to gain "xp" by doing it that way, you can still climb the ladder with an immaculate (but meaningless) record.&nbsp

[quote]On the contrary, I would argue that the most important ability of melee characters is their ability to run away quickly due to the fact that being in melee makes it harder to open up the distance between you and the enemy should the need arise. This is why I find it extremely easy to ambush melee characters without Swift Anklet for instance - if they don't see me coming from a distance, then it is too late for them. Their 800hp does not save them, whereas extra speed almost certai
