[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="2214977"]Let's be clear on the bots: You can have AI players in MP if you CHOOSE. But we won't be inserting artificial players (bots) into games unless users explicitly ask for them. Before, we planned to have bots operating on their own server looking for MP games to join complete with their own chat capabilities. [/quote] I think this is a smart move. Put the resources into a better AI, more people will benefit from it.</

[quote who="JasonCross" reply="21" id="2182548"]1. What if your PC/router/etc have good UPnP support? Will the game at least try to open the ports and do a direct connect, and if it fails, then go to the NAT server? 2. Hear me out on this - I think you're going about the whole "demo" thing all wrong. Pirates download the full Demigod, but they don't get the latest version so it has bugs, and they can't play "legit" online. You currently don't do anything to stop this, but rath
[quote who="schlista" reply="20" id="2178366"]Also something for you defenders of stardock to consider...what do they do if I DON'T use the same email address to ask for the refund? They have to either tell me they need my ID so they can deactivate my account before I can ship it back to them. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they just read my posts here and thought we'll get even with him and ban his account. How dare someone complain about our borked up game. [/quote] <p
One of the best games last year, really.

Thanks for the Update, Frogboy.
[quote who="badken" reply="12" id="2174726"]It's too bad you didn't use Games for Windows Live. I know a lot of people have issues because Microsoft is TEH EVILZ, but their multiplayer networking system and infrastructure is rock solid. It works great for Xbox LIVE and it works great in Dawn of War II. Maybe it wasn't a viable option for you for business reasons, but the technology is sound. [/quote] It doesnt work so well on PC platform. Sometimes it takes about 20 mi
[quote who="JAlspaugh" reply="9" id="2173851"]Your first new Demigod HAS to be a Pirate, it just has to be. Think of the glorious irony! I'm sure you'd also make some press and create some internet buzz if you did something so ingenious .. nothing but good things can come of it. Do it. Do it. Do it. [/quote] Best.Idea.Ever.

Keep the Reports, they are always a good read and very informational. Oh, and information, good or bad are always a form of marketing. I think you will build your fan base with this Reports. See them as long time investment.
[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="9" id="2159113"] At any rate, was the guy slaughtering you fire or ice (you may have already stated this, but I don't have it at my fingertips)? [/quote] As TB player myself (and i am not that good, really) i think Ice is the thing that kills enemy DG better. There are many debuffs involved and the combo Ice Rain, Frostnova, Shatter is a bit harder to pull of, but quite deadly. Especially if he jumps you. Fire does more raw damage,
[quote who="Blackwing_dk" reply="25" id="2158506"] ... As I think my connection problems has something to do with that, I'm a little discouraged that all you mention about the connectivity issues, are the proxy servers. Is this fix for the NAT stuff you mentioned in the weekend still in the works?? And yes, I know very little about networks Thanks ! [/quote] I am no official, but as i understand it should fix your problem too.

So, teaming up 2 on 1 is your winning strategy? Do i miss something here? [e digicons]8|[/e] If not, yes it is a good strategy and works most of the time. But it is hardly new.
[quote who="cvgordy" reply="7" id="2156670"] I have purchased. WC3, SC, Half-Life, HL2, WoW , Mass Effect , Bioshock ... Bla bla bla... All of these games (and many more) were finished... polished creations on release. They continued to support, fix, and update as needed (mostly balance changes and exploit fixes). [/quote] Haha. That joke is on you. WoW servers are so old, that half of EU cant play aft
Yes, please fix it. Its known since BETA after all.
[quote who="Brainless_Hu" reply="14" id="2156882"]btw send me a message or something if you need a tester for the proxy servers ( EU dsl and can not connect to anyone ) [/quote] I am in EU too and have 50/50 success in connecting, staying connected is a slightly better chance [e digicons]:grin:[/e] .
[quote who="acare84" reply="21" id="2152540"]But there is an activation limit for all Stardock games I think. Look at this. I really want to buy the game but this limit is really annoying. I want to play the game on my notebook, my home homputer and everywhere I go like Steam (opent the client download and play). Demigod is using same activation limit isn't it? If there is a revoke tool for activations it's ok for me. http://www.impulsedriven.com/support/activation_info.aspx [
The manual is in the 'bin' folder of your Demigod installation.
[quote who="Muhku" reply="2" id="1948615"]Idiot? Propaganda? Whatever you say. edit, edit2: As for law, watching legit DVD's on linux is technically a copyright infringement (because of copy protection) as far as finnish copyright law is concerned. Laws are not an absolute truth. Laws should never be based on anyone's sense of "right" and "wrong" either for there are as many of these assumptions as there are people. Why not base laws on what works and what doesn't work inst
I have the same problem like the OP. In BETA i had Sim Speed like 2 or 3, in release i get -5 to 1. Its strange.
