Crossbow range is fine when you consider the range of everything else. You can fight at quite a distance with Regulus compared to the rest. You're right that sniper shot is weak. In fact, the best Regulus build currently seems to be going for all 10 of the upgrades at the bottom and just autoattack-DPSing.

[quote who="innociv" reply="13" id="1876708"] You say that but also suggest things needing balancing changes...?[/quote] As you did with your flag locking thread.

Yah. The only reason to go with an 8500GT is if you're on too tight a budget to actually buy a decent card--you'd have been better off spending the money on a single card that's overall better.

I think the lua file I grabbed the Vampire Lord skills either a relic of a past build or a hint of a future one--the only skills it had were Vampire Lord skills. The skills for our three demigods are in files in their folder in units/.

Shadowbane remains the best currently-playable MMO (although it's less massive than it once was). It comes with the added benefit of being free, so long as you don't mind seeing ads when you start/close the game. Where else can you get powerleveled to the cap in under a day (if you don't get rolled off the good high-level spawns)? Where else do you spend basically all of your time doing something with a very good chance of ending in some kind of PvP encounter? It's the good li

Go read the thread innociv linked. It's ten times the idea recipes (which strike me as likely a WC3 engine limitation) ever could even aspire to be.

[quote who="Capt Sealy" reply="5" id="1869456"]The idea is that you only control your hero. Without heroes, the battle between the smaller units is in balance. It's your job to tip the balance in your favour. The other type of characters (unplayable in this demo) are called generals, and they'll more directly influence the smaller units.[/quote] Not entirely true--generals won't really have much influence on creeps (although from what I've gleaned from the lua files,

From the lua files, re: priest: Heals every five seconds. Will heal demigods first, unless the demigod's health is maximum. Heals demigods for 10%. Only heals creeps with

[quote who="xthetenth" reply="13" id="1868298"]Maybe. They'd need to move those towers up further forward with them, then. I thought of that. Why not leave some out there to fight over? It would make for an interesting choice if you're given a variety of points that all give you a different bonus. Is the added income worth having a lower war level than your opponent? Gold would make a good strategic objective, because it would really reward good strategy to gain more income.[/quote]</p

Recipes are /not/ awesome. Recipes are an artificial way to (further) widen the gulf between new players and experienced players. In any case where memorization has such a direct effect on how well you play the game, something is badly wrong. Go read innociv's thread about item upgrading--that's how it ought to be done, if it's going to be done. As for denying, no. Demigod is much less tactical than DotA. You shouldn't have to worry about dealing the killing blow to your own creeps--t

Now, now. My 8500GT (a stopgap solution, since college makes for tight budgets--I'm aiming to get a 4850 once the price comes down a bit more) runs Demigod just fine on medium fidelity/low shadows/no AA at 1152x864. Playably, anyway, from the beginning of the game through to the end, and that's some achievement with the Supreme Commander engine. :P
