1.  New item arrays.

I can`t emphasize enough how fresh such would keep Demigod - given the effect of items being comparable to the effect of the incorporation of new emigods themselves and new maps, I can`t see such not being a boon to the longevity of the play experience. Shake things up. Randomized item lists.

2.  More multiplayer participant information.

We need more information about what exactly is occurring at any given point in a multiplayer game. I need to know who gets dumped from a game and why. Was I disconnected from? Was I kicked? Why?

Such information can help me formulate an opinion as to whether or not something is wrong with my own configuration/system.

3. Kill Parasite Egg.

Unbalanced/unfair item defeats the core integrity of the Minion mechanic at play in Demigod with Generals. Completely over-the-top.

Its an expensive counter, but VERY effective against generals who actually play as generals. If you see an oak going zerg, this item is an incredible way to shut him down.

 

That being said, it counters 1 player. Unless its a 2v2 match, i've found it tough to really put the thing to good use. The problem is that in terms of minions, oak and erebus auto-spawn. And sedna and QoT can get their full load of minions in 1 cast. So you'll buy the egg, wipe out an entire generals force in seconds....and in seconds its back to capacity, maybe minus the bishops. It ceratainly delays him, but if you can't cleanly push him out after you wreck his army then its like you didn't hurt him at all.

Not true Elarain. You avoided having to attack his Minions directly, meaning all your attacks landed on the General instead of his/her buffering Minions. And the cost to re-summon those Minions is considerable; by the time I have them back and enough energy to cast abilities upon you (starting my attack in earnest), you`ve got that damned Egg ready to go again.

ferm1nc,

All damage you deliver to the Demigod is *also* delivered to his/her Minions, no matter where they are or in what number they may be.

maybe change it to only a portion of the attack hits minions.  make the full damage one an artifact and cost more or sumthing?

Possible. Or just remove the item.

Almost every Demigod has some type of means by which to deal with masses of enemy anyway. Parasite egg is - at the most optimistic best - redundant in that light.
