[bug?] Catapultasaurus not spawning in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

In beta 2 (at default settings, tested on the prison and temple maps) catapultasaurus don't spawn as part of the natural reinforcement progression. You can get them via the extra spawn purchase though. (the three as advertised in the purchase, not normal + purchase) Note: The announcer voice does signal their arrival though, they just don't actually show up. Come think of it, I haven't seen Angels or Giants spawn either, but I can't confirm that right now.</

[bug] Fighters where fighters should not be in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

If you build a starbase in one of the uncolonisable gravwells (ion storms?) where all fighters and bombers are grounded, the base's squadrons operate normally. While it's fun stuffing a starbase to the gills with bombers squadrons and having them zoom about unchallenged, (no enemy fighters to worry about and no enemy bombers to counter) I think this might be not quite as intended. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] (This was with an Advent starbase by the way, don't know about the others)

Reply to Starbase concept re-think. in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I've found that starbases (Advent ones at least) are pretty useless as defensive measures in uncolonisable locations. Their fireing range is so minute (even with both weapons upgrades) that enemies have to be nearly on top of them to be shot at. This might not be a problem at a planet, where you can park it in the middle of your defences right next to the high-value targets, but in empty gravwells enemy fleets only have to arrive slightly off from where you parked t

Reply to Tech advancement in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm actually a little wary of having a tech tree in a fantasy game. (for the mundane forces that is, not for the wizards spellbook) Naturally, a city having to build "bear stables"/"bear housing improvement to the stables" before being able to build Bear Cavalry is fine. I just don't want to have the same situation as in GalCiv2 where you basically upgrade your entire civilisations weapon capabilty through a sword1/sword2/sword3/etc. mass upgrade.

Reply to [IMPULSE] Sacred 2 Instant Order *IF*... in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

Sadly, since Sacred 2 comes with the limited-install securom thing, the "safeguard" of a DVD in your posession would not mean much either. I'd recommend getting it via Impulse anyway. I'd have bought Sacred 2 via Impulse myself if it hadn't come out here in Europe on DVD earlier. (and if I'd known it would become available on Impulse) I'm more afraid of my DVDs getting damaged than I am of any possible Impulse malfunctions. [e digicons]X|[/e]

[gameplay] Do Angels fight? in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

This is probably just me, but do the Angel creeps actually do damage? They seem to just fly around pretty much ignoring everything while occasionaly executing a swooping dive. They do not appear to do any damage (that I can see, but things tend to be rather busy around the time they show up), nor make any "fighty" motions with the two swords they have in their hands.

Reply to [bug] War Idol does not increase spawns in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Well, increasing creep hp/damage (I would favour damage over hp, makes combat more dynamic/faster rather than less) would seem to be a fairly good way of making the Totem matter while avoiding the "more walking xp" problem. Alternatively you could get a better mix of troops with some more/earlier advanced types, but that might still have some xp delivery problems. (also, "better mix" could get very complicated very fast)

Reply to [bug] War Idol does not increase spawns in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Seems unlikely to be about the unit limit, seeing as this map only has one portal per side. I've had waves of troops coming from FOUR portals on the atlantis map, with each portal spitting out as many troops as the mine map's one portal.

[bug] War Idol does not increase spawns in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

On the Mine map, posession of the War Idol by either player does not appear to make any difference to the numbers of the spawning waves. The spawns of both sides are always identical, no matter who owns the Idol. (over many waves too, so its not just a wave spawning before the Idol is taken) Map spawn settings: Spawn rate: Normal Grunt Strength: High War Rank Speed: Normal War Rank Start Level: 1

Reply to Anyone else think its a mistake to let the game end when your wizard dies? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

How about: The game/nation ends with the channelers death, but actually killing a channeller is easier said than done. There are lots of contingency type spells that could save your bacon in a pinch. A permanent recall spell on you that triggers when your health falls below a certain level and teleports you out of combat to your capital (with a cost to maintain, natch). A teleport spell you can cast at any time in combat if you feel things are getting dicy (or just to leave b

Reply to Gamespot Interview with Brad on Elemental! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I'm ok with the bigshot magical creatures being a rarity in my armies. (as long as they have the stats to match their rarity) I'd still like to have some cheap and cheerful magic forces to enhance my army though. (My negative life channeler needs his skeleton/zombie forces!) It is, after all, the army of a channeler. NOT the army of a king who just happens to be able to throw some sparkely effects around. Then again, undead hordes etc. would be the work of the ch

Reply to [bug/gameplay] Evade while stunned in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Well, it's a realism Vs gameplay thing. While, obviously, you can't dodge while stuck in a block of ice, "evade" is mechanically just a defensive bonus and it's not as if you lose the effect of armour while stunned. On the other hand, perhaps stunning qualifies as a counter to a high evade rating. That's up to GPG/Stardock to decide (and us in the beta [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ). Unless it's already decided and it's just a bug, of course. &nbsp

[quote who="McFungos" reply="6" id="1932012"] It would be good to have some hard dongeons close to the starting positions that would advert the trope : "Farther you are from home & stronger are the opponents". [/quote] How about dungeons becoming stronger over time instead? So you don't get beaten up right at the start because you got placed next to a crazy strong dungeon and got hit by a swarm of demon lords on turn 2, but the dungeons still pose a challenge late-game.
