^ Wow, a forum regarding an unreleased game having baseless speculation!?!? WTF!!! Seriously, what are we supposed to do? People can only say "this game is gonna roxxors!!!one1one" so many time before it's just silly. I say we speculate until the game's released....or at least until the beta.

Reply to Question about gameplay :) in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hmmm....well, to take this out of hostile waters. This seems to confirm the "galactic wars" variant for demigod. For those who never got to play galactic wars for Total Annihilation, what it was was a metagame with X number of planets which represented a map. These planets were split between the arm and the core (the two sides) and each planet represented a map. So then players could play on contested planets (planets adjacent to the opposing side's planets), and through winning a certain nu

Reply to Demigod tentative schedule in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I actually think it's a good idea. A bug is a bug and should be documented. Of course, it shouldn't be worth anything more than bragging rights, but a lot of the time, bragging rights are motivation enough. Besides, the idea that quality and quantity are mutually exclusive is grossly false. You're not going to know the "quality" of a bug until after you found it. The more searching you do, the more likely you're to find bugs, the more likely you are to find something significant.

Its which TEAM gets the kill not the unit or player, if I as an enemy demigod can kill my own unit before the enemy can kill it then they shouldn't have gotten anything from it.

[quote]E) leads to real choices F) creates more diverse gameplay[/quote] I agree with this. @ Mooey: It seems that there will be plenty of single player options to get used to the available skills. And I doubt you will be able to "make it so eventually every demigod can do everything" because there will probably be a level cap and/or the game won't last long enough to get every skill. Even if you can eventually get every skill, you'd still have to make a ski

1) Thumbs down on any kind of auto targeting. I just can't see how it would be usefull. 99.9% of the time, the computer is going to choose the wrong target anyway. 2) The whole "all exp goes to the unit that gets the killing blow" needs to go away. It's archaic and unrealistic to say the least. Example: My rook that's been beating on that tower for 2 minutes hasn't learned a thing, but my minotaur that walked up and took the killing blow suddenly had a tactical epiphany?? Seriousl

Reply to So you want to be a god? in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

@Zellogs I'd like to think that you'll be able to see your opponents level before you join one of these games. Assuming low level players can still host games and that there's still the option of kicking players from games -- both of which are a given in any game -- this isn't going to be much of a problem. Some level 50 player joins your level 5 game? Kick 'em! No matter how someone may love to grief newbies, there'll be no point of they get kicked from every game. <br/

I actually like "assassin". But just to join the thead, how bout "Knight"? It has the connotation of being an elite fighter without being someone who is sneaky or underhanded, nor does a knight command troops (as far as the popular representation is concerned).

Reply to Balancing RTS: Hard-cap vs no-cap unit limits in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

[quote]I hate hard-caps, imo its just an excuse of lazy balance guys to prevent the game to become a spamfest, why not balance the game so that building only 1 or 2 types will result in a loss vs a balanced army? Starcraft has a 200 pop cap btw and as units consume different amount of control, it isn't just because of the technical aspect (unlike it is in Warcraft 1 & 2 or Supreme Commander). I am fine which such a general cap as long as they dont implement silly things like upkeep in

Reply to Balancing RTS: Hard-cap vs no-cap unit limits in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

I prefer the no-cap, though it is probably the hardest to implement. I don't really understand the way you defined the different types of pop-caps, though I can guess based on RTS games I've played. You may want to give some examples. Regardless, all other forms of population cap are arbitrary extensions of the no-cap type. Hard-cap and soft cap both just say "This unit here is very expensive and very hard to build (IE just THAT cool), but we still want you to build it in an unrealis

Reply to Fleet attack bug? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I'm pretty sure it's because 1)They're hitting your weaker ships first since the AI prioritizes attacking ships with fleet bonuses, and 2) they have a 350+ friggin attack!! That means they probably have a lot of guns, which means they have a lot of shots after your weak units go down (left over guns can still shoot if they haven't shot already -- I'm assuming your AWACS are mounted on cargo hulls). Fleets are good to bring a large amount of firepower to bare in a single attack. If you

Well, I don't think this will unbalance the technologists if you take this line of thinking to the logicial conclusion. Why would only the technologists get a boost? Why can't some of the other parties get boosts in their respective specialties? Shouldn't Industrialists get morale boosts for having more factories? Shouldn't federalists get a morale boost for having more stock markets? Etc, etc. But back to the root of the problem: I can't really agree that there'd be a negativ
