Assasins and generals are pretty balanced. Its a HUGE generalisation to say one is better than the other.

This is very interesting. I've always wanted to know - armor or HP? When shoudl I get armour, when should i get HP? Also note the more armour you get, the less effecient it becomes. So 0-1k armour may reduce damage by 25%, but from 1k-2k it may only reduce it by 10% Interesting article/graph about it here: http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/portals.php?show=page&name=demigod-tip-of-the-week-calculating-armor So I guess once you have lots of HP - ge
This is an awesome guide, loved the read through :) But yea, dont forget there are lots of ways to use Erebus - you can put points in any skill with him and still be successful - Mist can be very useful in certain builds/situations, but useless in others.
They used Gameranger for the last one, but i think you can use any method as long as you get the game done.
Well great update Frogboy, much appreciated. Looking forward the extra messages we will get when online, and especially the proxy servers - I presume these will make the games connectivity similar to all the other RTS's out there. [quote]Once the multiplayer connectivity stuff is straightened out, we can start to talk about the kinds of things we can add like team based joining, how clan support should be, what kinds of items people would like to see, what kinds of additional demig
Everyone sign up - more players = more future competitions = more prizes too = cash :P
Check if you have Steam running. [quote]I hope they do not pull a "Release and Forget" with the game, leaving it as-is.[/quote] Yea releasing a patch 3 days after release and constantly adding servers/changing them and staying up till 4am and adding proxy servers after just one week after release is just a complete "Release and Forget".
This game is a team one not 1v1 really. If you want 1v1 make sure your the same hero or do a balanced match up. Thats like playing DotA 1v1 or WoW 1v1 etc.
gamereplays.org will be hosting lots of tournies - some may even be cash depending on a lot of things. ESL are hosting one on thursday and signs ups are ready. Its 2v2 - so sign up quick :P Sure there will be lots more...but I think we need Replays before things get too competitive.
/end rant
I'll go off based experience/facts. They patched their other games very well for over a year - why not Demigod.
http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/portals.php?show=page&name=demigod-tip-of-the-week-favour-items Please note Staff of Renewal is nerfed now - it provides 20% cooldown not 50%. Cloak of Night does 100 damage now, not 200 (wow). And Furious Blade will provide a 30% attack speed boost not 50%. Apart from that should all be up to da
Great work Bara :D
I wanna know when they are releasing it. I hope its in about 2 weeks and no longer :\
[quote]That doesnt make any sense. Its even more weird when you see 3 of the same demi god on the same team or the same demi god on different teams.[/quote] In single player tournament mode there is only one per team. Online has no story...like every other game. Ever played CnC - isnt it strange that GDI are fighting GDI all the time online?
Being a hardcore RTS fan I always did 1v1 as my thing. However like TBO said this is really a team-based game like CS:S and DotA. However, I love 1v1's in DG - specially mirrors (cant complain about imba), but not everyone does.
no .1 - shudnt care about rankings atm, its whoever can play 2 minute matches vs a.i no .2 - They are implementing the 3 min rule :)
Great job Nothkra. TBO and Kaes. Although I dont know how to speak german, i was attacked by a German when I had trip there (Germany) for saying "shiza". You dont see often a few volunteers translating a whole game...for free :P
A complaint about a complaint...interesting.
Yea they need to fix up connectivity first :)
Ingame recording tools really arent great. I want to see the game from a more neutral view and dont want fraps taking up 17gb+ of space then spend 10mins+ converting it to smaller size. Also features like fast forward/slow down free roam are missing.
Hey all, I know I have been posting about this quite a bit lately but im just curious if we can get a ETA on the replay system. We know its half-there already (you can watch them a quick work around, buts its very buggy) so when will it get put in properly. Im looking forward to hosting some tournies (over at gamereplays.org) but i would like replays to be in first so we can watch over the matches that happened over it. I'm also aware you guys are bogged down with work on the con
You've been playing the game for...how many days again? 5ish tops? And your calling for balance roll. Give it about two weeks before you say this. Atm the only DG i see being slightly OP is erebus. UB isnt.
Any Demigod can swing the match around imo. Its about portal capping with flag lock late game :P
