Reply to No Combine Recipes or Fancy Upgrade Paths - This instead! in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

This idea is not only boring compared to innociv's, innociv's will result in more interesting gameplay. Why? Because in this way, once you've decided on your items, the only progression in items is purchasing upgrades. There's no choice, no ability to emphasize one aspect over another, and negligable flexibilty. Even the current implementation is more flexible because in that you're encouraged to sell your items. In this way, you've invested heavily into upgrading the item. Finally, this idea

Poorly if at all. I don't know that video card well enough to say for sure, and the other specs are questionable for sure. It seems that it doesn't support Shader Model 3, which demigod needs, so I think you're out of luck. Sorry.

Reply to buyout when dead in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I don't mind the original idea as an idea, I'm just worried about the implementation. The only way to make it not automatic is to make it expensive enough that nobody would use it, making implementation wasted time. The margin for sucessful implementation of such a feature in a game catering to such a broad market is thin enough to cut butter with, and the consequences for missing could be tremendous.

The explanation is that the gods are betting on you, and if you make them win they'll pay you off, and there is nothing awesomer than the idea of all the gods sitting up on Mt. Olympus idly betting on the contest. It's fantastically atmospheric in this lore. The mines, not so much, but gold is good. Gods like gold, it's shiny.

Send the whole team in and while everybody's chucking firey doom around, somebody slaps a lock scroll on the flag. It isn't balanced if the counter assumes a total lack of communication on the other side's part. Also, they could do a lot of damage while you camp by attacking in other places. Buy ever
