If you want to win at this game, you have to kill units.

Unless my memory is failing me completely, Frogboy said somewhat-recently in IRC that favor items won't just make 1v3 and such possible, they will make it [i]necessary[/i] in some situations. I'm sure "normal" skirmish will be played mostly with favor items turned off or with players using equal levels/values of favor items, but one of the major goals for Demigod multiplayer was to have automatic matchmaking that could set up all kinds of unusual but even matchups.
There will eventually be more favor items that are significantly more expensive and have much better bonuses. You can think of the current favor items as level-1 items :D
GameReplays has a strategy forum for Demigod [e digicons]:-"[/e]
I hate you :(

There is an option in Game Options called Edge Tracking or something. Try that :)
It is supposed to be real players but often there aren't enough other players searching so it matches you against AI's. You can press ctrl+~ to open the console and then type ren_shownetworkstats to display a box that will show whether you are actually connected to other players. Type it in again to get rid of it, and press ctrl+~ again to make the console go away.
Yeah, an option to turn off the forced camera rotation would be nice.
You shouldn't need to open any ports; that is why Stardock is making this fancy system. You won't always connect with everyone because the system is still buggy.
Can you please please please implement a reasonable cap on the min/max gain/loss possible for ranked games? It can be very discouraging for top players when most of their wins are only worth 1 point and most of their losses cost them 30.
So... if there is no completely-open-beta, will there be a demo? And yeah, nice artwork :)
[quote who="Soccer194" reply="5" id="2072099"]I can only use starter ones because I dodn't get more favor points and does anyone know if pantheon scores are correct because i never lost a match in pantheon. [/quote] Pantheon scores are messed up right now.

Ok, pretty good :). But there are a few things that need to be edited: [quote]So you’ve bought your game, brought it home, installed it and something isn’t working right? Didn’t those losers test this game? Why can’t those greedy game developers insist on shipping games that aren’t done? Just because game developers are chick magnets doesn’t give them the right to ship this kind of junk! Right?[/quote] There should probably be a comma
Sounds excellent :D
Thank God Demigod isn't using GameSpy. The thought is just painful [e digicons]8(|[/e] . We've had lots of rough times with the connectivity but I've done surprisingly well in beta 3 so far.
Yeah, I would definitely want Random Demigod, Random General, Random Assassin, Random Light, and Random Dark.
I've definitely teleported to the dark portal and taken that before, and I tested it and was able to teleport to both sides easily. I kind of like the idea of having it available, though maybe it is a little too easy. Maybe put a few more towers nearby so you have to work for it more?
I think that's a [i]good[/i] thing. Seriously - I love the TB's voice and his lines. They fit his storyline very well. He was burned alive, after all.
[quote quoting="post"]If I were to pre-order today digitally would I get into beta? [/quote] Yes. The beta right now has all 8 Demigods available, and although the connectivity is still weak, the game is fun. If you have some specific questions about the beta, speak up :).
You have to preorder to get into the beta.
