Reply to NOTES are in: Part 1 in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

So far I havne't found any of my friends. This is because I don't know their Stardock usernames. Heck, I barely know _my_ stardock username. I'd strongly recomend adding a "add by Email" fuction. Additionally, if there was some way I could tell stardock to peek at my gmail contact list and add/invite the people on it, that would make it really easy to populate my "ready to play" list.

Reply to Demigod: Two updates in one day? Yes! in Demigod Journals JoeUser Forums

[quote who="Captain Pat" comment="13"] I'm a bit confused by your analogy. specific video cards not running a 3D engine and an overall broken net-code are not the same thing. Are you saying there are people with specific network cards that are having connection problems?... Or that you simply released an unfinished multiplayer product? Of course it's difficult to address these issues so quickly because the code was simply not optimized at launch because the game was not finished

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="13" id="2138294"] The Rook has an easier time than most due to a power that deals damage and heals him at the same time. So if you pick this up early you can attack towers sooner. The Queen of Thrones also has a power that attacks towers and this helps her take down towers sooner as well (try to use it and then get out of range so you don't take too much damage). -Jara[/quote] I've done 2 complete rounds now, both a

Alright, I just did my first complete game. I feel like I'm a { Basic strategy seems to be: kill things until I level up enough to break towers. Assaulting towers at levels under 10 or so is a quick way to spend 30 seconds figuring out what I did wrong...

[quote who="ROCK_01" reply="9" id="2137991"]I recommend to look into the manual wich covers the basics(Strcutures,Shops etc.). Has been posted in another thread, but i don't think it will hurt if posted once more: https://www.stardock.com/demigodmanual.pdf[/quote] Yes, that should help immensely! :)

I've put 5 minutes into it, and am on the forums begging for a tutorial.

Reply to Playing for the first time... in Demigod Demigod Forums

That's not bad advice, and I'm totally willing to play with Bots (I may _never_ play with humans-- that's not how I rolll...). My questions are more basic ones like "what's this energy thing"? and "where is my life meter?" And, um, "where's the damned tutorial!" Because Sins had a tutorial that at least helped me know the basics. I sure would like to know where the buttons are and what they do...

Playing for the first time... in Demigod Demigod Forums

So, I'm doing my first round of Demigod, and I'm... Clueless. It's little things like A) how do I kill things? B) why do I keep dying? C) where's the tutorial that will answer these questions. Then it's bigger things: I don't have a scroll wheel on my trackball*, how do I zoom out? I'd be rather grateful to anyone who could help me figure out this game! *I'm not going to change mice just for one game.

Reply to Demigod is early in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

I was in Gamestop last Friday, and saw a copy of Demigod. Thought _very_ hard about Emailing you guys, but figured it was a problem local to that one branch. I find it very strange that Gamestop would A) break the street date and B) not even bother to have more than 1 copy per store. I assume Gamestop will be punished somehow, going forward?

Reply to Change you can believe in: Let’s eliminate farmers markets… in Politics Stardock Forums

The people most affected by this bill would be the ones who don't die because of bad food. Or did we already forget about the bad spinach and poisonous peanut butter? As for your assertion that it would have any bearing on intrastate commerce, I would only point out Article 1 section 8, as well as the 10th amendment. But for the sake of fun, can you post a link to the text of the bill? Thomas.gov should have the text and history-- if the bill has really been submitted..

Reply to Demigod – Impulse Reactor: Multiplayer Skills in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

"For users, it comes with the benefit of being able to download updates or the full game over again from any participating digital distributor – not just Impulse which eliminates the concern of “what if company X goes out of business?” because it’s not tied to any particular vendor." Does that mean I could register (say, a hypothetical) Civ5 with Steam, impulse and Take2 -- and get updates from any of them? Or if one of th

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition at retail in GalCiv Journals Stardock Forums

GalCiv2 update? Awesome! If it isn't too obnoxious, I'd like to make a request. in the ship builder, I would love to be able to set the "center point" on any given piece. Currently it's sometimes in the back, sometimes in the middle. Being able to move it would open up whole new worlds of ship construction :). I've been playing this game for years and your updates have yet to disapoint, so I won't be brokenhearted if you opt not to do that...
