they like playing it, but do they like buying it? :D also, do they have computers good enough to run it, I doubt the PC bangs have very good hardware

now we all need to spread the word to get a community large enough to sustain all that variety ;-)

the historical assassins made no attempt at escaping as the paradise was promised to them, so yes they are indeed quite the opposite of stealthy ninjas - except for the part before they reached their goal sometimes maybe.

Hogfather would be better indeed

maybe he got bored and used his omnipotence to become a mortal, more thrilling if you know you can die and don't have an unlimited time to live :-)

Reply to Convince me to preorder in Demigod Demigod Forums

It's a bit hard to say, as not many played it yet, but I guess what made me preorder is the expectation of epic battles with strategic depth and teamwork. I enjoyed 2vs2 and 3vs3 most in Supreme Commander so I guess it will be good.

now that sounds alot nicer already :-) we discussed about already in IRC , that something like the boneyards for TA or galactic wars for Supcom would work very well with some persistence to the Demigods. Thanks for the quick clarification. PS: just see I have a wrong line break in previous post. PPS: I see a few good reasons to be not able to edit posts after someone else posted after it but wouldn't it be enough to just display when the last edit was? not being

I am more than confused now... wasn't the plan to have only aesthetical things persistent in online-play? I mean having a stronger demigod than your opponent from the beginning on is just like you would start a game of supreme commander with a finished land factory while your opponent starts with nothing and certainly nothing that sounds like much fun. If it is only in some kind of metaverse gamemode and there are others where all start on a even players field. I am fine with

Warcraft2 is still sold in shops (at least here) in Bundle with Diablo and Starcraft+Broodwar so if you really want it you have to leave your room :P

Deadmg, you can quote and hotlink URLs, but you are completely right about the forums being too slow.

adding all the broodwar units worked pretty well though :P

I enjoy writing bug reports and finding bugs/glitches/exploits . I like to grok how the game mechanics work in-depth and get a feeling how the balance work in a matter I can more or less forsee what will happen if certain things are changed. I also like discussing if certain unexpected things shouldn't maybe remain in the game as they can add depth to the game in an unexpected manner (like strafe jump in quake, worker stacking in starcraft etc.). I like the early days

Reply to Kid-Tested, Taylor-Approved in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I would guess that that Arena thing (whatever it is) will be open for anyone - seems like a awful waste otherwise

Reply to Kid-Tested, Taylor-Approved in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I like your posts - you always tell us that Demigod is fun unlike the evil Stardock people saying that beta-ing won't be much fun. (I guess thats the job of the publisher though).

Reply to Demigod tentative schedule in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I was just fooling around, I do know what betas are about and if balance is done last traditionally no wonder most games are massively imbalanced on release, I am glad you work on it for so long already ------------------------ [I]"It's the balance, stupid!"[/I] Bill Clinton

Reply to Demigod tentative schedule in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I don't believe him. According to Scathis the game was already fun when some colored boxes walked over the screen and Stardock employees told in IRC that Demigod never crashed for them, so how could the beta 1 be no fun then? And if there is no balancing in it I wonder what Eric was doing all time :o .

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

imo your two examples are already quite different :P , but before we have actually played it we can't be sure how different such a design would play in Demigod but I am quite optimistic about diverse gameplay. I have never played CoH but in my opinion WC3 and Generals play quite similar on every map while Starcraft and Supreme Commander play completely different depending of the map.

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Nokthra, if you ever played a real rts (dunno if you did), you would know what a big impact the map layout makes on the gameplay. just checked Dota 3.6 the last version made from the original author and there you had 32 heroes.

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

don't forget that Demigod has more than 1 map which increases a very important variable to gameplay and that Demigod is intended to be also fun in games with less than 10 players. (and that Dota didnt start with 80 heroes either)

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

drop-in just legitimates leaving thus leading to more leavers and generally leads to a watered down gameplay as this continously coming and leaving leads to an unfair advantage of 1 team as someone taking a place of a leaver is more likely to leave too after realising that the xp and items his hero got are quite low compared to the other player (assuming he would take over the hero of the leaver and that some time has past in between). I think its hard or impossible to implement into a p2p s

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

It will never be 80 and I honestly prefer 15 to 20 (just a guess) really different Demigods over 80 which play very similar in the end ; if you take a look at dota there are so many skills which are nearly duplicates.

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

why would they join a game which has such settings? (especially if such settings would be visible before you actually join the game) I mean all-random works pretty well even in publics in Dota, and I expect Demigod to have a much more mature community . Guildwars handles leavers and leechers very nice imo, if they get reported by lots of people for leeching or leave a game where the own team hasnt surrendered yet they can't join another game for some time (like 5 min
