all you guys who says that global warming happens because of increased sun irradiance, I'd really like to see your sources. There is indeed a very strong correlation between global temperature and sun activity - til about 1970. see http://www.mps.mpg.de/dokumente/publikationen/solanki/c153.pdf But after 1975 there is a sharp rise in temperature while the sun activity didn't increase in average t

Reply to Unilateral GG in Demigod Demigod Forums

I always say gg at the end of the game when I lost (unless it is versus my brother, then I just stand up, walk 10 meter and try to throw him out of the window), it may be not always accurate in the original meaning of the phrase but as long as someone comes up with a better phrase I'll use it even if it was a bad game. I don't like people who write gg first when the won a game.

14. True, but giving too much weight on a single position of the map (the 3x experience flag) it renders map control in the traditional sense pretty useless, its more like king of the hill/flag then.

4. already in 5. sounds good 6. already in 6b. already in 10. General Minions already don't give XP 11. I think they are already too strong in the early game, but need a better scaling towards the endgame (higher level idols need a buff and probably a cost increase) 12. agree 13. what about neutral portals just spawn mainly siege units, giving them 4x damage seems a bit artificial and how can you distinguish a 4x damage minotaur from a n

Reply to General a complete failure in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

your spawns don't give the enemy XP at all... In my opinion the minions currently are too strong in the early game and too weak/low hp in the late game. That should be solvable with changing the item costs of Level I to IV idols and their stats. Aside from that Oak and erebus are currently 2 of the strongest heroes, at least I think so after about 20-25 games.

Reply to Newcomer Question: Gold in Demigod Demigod Forums

there are gold mines attached to flags, depending on map you have 2 to 4 at your homebase flags from the beginning on and then on most maps there are additional gold mines to capture which then increase the income. Yes Grunts do give a bit money, regardless of you killed it or not, but only if you are near them when they die (like XP); the money is split if others of your team are nearby as well. and then you can also buy a upgrade at the citadel which increases the money gene

Reply to [Balance] Oak's Last Stand is too amazing in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Last stand is a cool idea, but I think there need to be 2 changes: 1) Oak does no or very low damage to buildings (I managed to do reduce citadel to about 30% hp while being in last stand (with a few seconds alive before) in the late game. Now Imagine a team with 2 or 3 oaks, they will just destroy your citadel without being able to do anything against it. 2) he shouldn't be able to capture flags in this mode.
