[quote who="monarch_dodra" reply="4" id="2485378"] Quoting morpheas768, reply 3 @lifekatana 1. you are right. Plenor is NOT worth buying instead of Vlemish. Also, if you look at Vlemish's stats, you will see that it gives 11 mps + 4 mps Aura = 15 mps to the user. So, 500/15 = 33 secs. 33 seconds to restore the missing 500 mana. 2. again you are right, the 4 mps Aura is somewhat deceptive. So what if you receive the benefit of 4 mps

Another thought: Has anyone looked into increasing the time it takes to lock a flag from 2 seconds to 4 seconds, and/or reducing the duration from 45 seconds to 30 seconds? There's so much discussion about changing abilities to prevent flag locks. It's possible to make flag locks likely to be game breaking for a single player without touching any abilities.

And its also good to know quite a few others had downloaded it also. and as for the tooltips, yes i have changed/added all necessary details. edit: As i played Qot today, it seems Qot may need a bit more tweaking though.

[quote who="HorseStrangler" reply="28" id="2478143"]Splitshadow, late game any good tower rook will have maxed out hammer slam too. [/quote] It depends. I've found its very effective to skip Hammer Slam completely and purchase Stats instead. The increase to attack speed in particular is very significant on The Rook. I like playing a moving Hammer Slam Rook without towers but you just end up a less effective teammate overall. You do get more kills but you're such

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="33" id="2479592"]About towers, remove the half price of the last level and just lower their recharge maybe? It's quite impossible to max out on towers in any reasonable circumstances, and the difference between 400 and 200 that late in the game is miserable. [/quote] I have to disagree with that idea. The cost discount at level 4 is a HUGE factor in making towers worthwhile. If you doubled the cost and reduced the recharge time you will easily use

[quote who="Esuzu" reply="14" id="2475274"] Quoting ChromeWeasel, reply 13 How about increasing Rook's speed slightly every level? It makes sense and is balancing to have him slow in the early game. At this point it's also not as easy to gang up on anyone. But late-game it's extremely easy to gang up on and kill one demigod, and Rook is most vulnerable to it. How about increasing his speed every level or two until he's at the same 'default' speed as other demigods

Reply to [MOD] THE BIG BALANCE PLAN -- Master Thread in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

I think you should balance the summoned henchmen of QoT and Sedna by increasing their numbers rather than upping their power. Make the last rank of their summons summon 6 Shamblers/Yeti. This would make balancing much easier in the long run. That closer you are in total available minions for all generals, the more likely that items with henchmen bonuses will be even across the board. Example: Items that add +5 damage to minions are much better for Oak/Erebus then for QoT/Sedna. Get th

Reply to Games ending too soon in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"]IMHO, as players get more experience in the game, they will quickly concede defeat if it's not going their way. The problem is: I don't blame them. If you have that regulus retard on your team that never helps, or the guy that dies 10 times in 5 minutes.. you're going to lose, barring the opposition making a serious error. It would compare to playing monopoly: setting up the game, finding people, passing out money, figuring

Reply to Oculus Animations...Not so good in Demigod Demigod Forums

Agreed. Oculus looks great in concept art and fine in-game as a static entity. But his chair-bob animation is embarrassing. The way I'd put it is that he looks like he's playing with himself. Ungood.
