[quote]Often you try to run away from Ub[/quote] Yes and that is your problem right there, he is a close combat killing machine. Don't go into him, because if you try to run at low health you will get a SPIT on you and likely die. If you have the appropriate counters then spit is no problem. Play as Sedna, she counters UB so badly. The problem with UB as I see it, is that he is easy to play, people can play well with him at lower skill lev

Regs mines and UBs spit are fine. Mines counter - Move out the way. Easy to do when you are used to them. Spit Counter - Potion, Shields, Heal, Mist, buy priests. The trouble is that people see them as IMBA, they are not. Spit is only powerful because you decide to run at half health away from UB and get spat on. Use a little tactics. Don't engage a UB at close range unless you have something to counter spit. Otherwise just stay out of the way, if he spi

Reply to How to *objectively* balance the game in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think the problem with relying on the statistics, is that they can be misleading. There needs to be some balance (forgive the pun) on who you listen to. There are exceptions that can be brought up for either side. I am sure that Stardock view the stats with interest. However, there will be cases where higher level play will show that popular choices are not necessarily the best nor do they need to be balanced. Take SF IV

Reply to Demigod Preview: The Demon Assassin in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Sounds like an interesting build for DG. I don't think you can have any criticism at the moment, without the info on base stats and the base info on ability range, costs and cooldown. This DG will likely be very weak in one on one melee and very prone to focus fire. Look forward to seeing it in game.

Reply to A new idea for creeps? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Don't like the idea myself. It takes away the strategy of what you spend your money on and adds a factor of randomness that can break the game. You already get cash from killing creeps. Also, as mentioned DGs who are bad creep farmers will not be able to keep up with drops.

Lost two games to this now. Strangely enough, it may just be coincidence, but I was playing against the same guy on the losing team. He had whinged the game before that we were a premade, although not, in both games once the game was beyond recovery, it desync'd. I wonder if this can be abused? Possibly ALT-TAB out and change something in use?

[quote]If there is no reward for killing, nobody will ever try to kill, why risk your life for nothing?[/quote] Just want to say on this point. Back in the day, when I played multiplayer Doom, there was no reward for killing apart from laughing at the n00bness of your opponent. Even if you drastically reduced the reward, it would still be satisfying to kill someone.

Remove Gold and EXP from Demigod kills in Demigod Demigod Forums

Idea : Remove Gold and EXP from Demigod kills (or at least give option in custom games to remove) Reasoning The one biggest thing that breaks this game is having a feeder, a bad player that wrecks your chances of winning. This game is not enjoyable to play with a feeder on your side as you have no chance of your personal skill winning through. Most successful online games have elements where even in losing you can still have enjoyment eg. racking

Reply to Why do Competitive games tend to have a very crappy community? in Demigod Demigod Forums

This game is not competitive, it is just highly reliant on teamplay and one bad player can ruin it for the team. The same used to happen in Left 4 Dead, highly reliant on good teamplay, one bad player would ruin it. There is/was far more abuse online in that game than Demigod. This game will never be a competitive game IMO. There is little point in having a 1v1 league, due to Demigods not being specifically balanced for that. I also believe that I

Reply to Demigod Not Aimed For The Competitive Scene.... in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think one thing to bear in mind, is that the competitive scene is really when a critical mass of players is reached. Then there are enough in the community to form up regular groups/clans and play competitively. You cannot appeal to a "competitive" community, until your casual community is at it's peak and there is a big enough player pool to move into it. How many people started playing a game because of the competitive side of it? Very very few players. Most players start

Yes they are outdated, in terms of an Athlon 3800, even two years ago it was bottom of the dual core pile.

Reply to minion swarm in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Kind of funny there is a thread here about minions being OP, then in general there are usually a few threads about minions being useless. I play minion Erebus a lot and it is very powerful. However, it should be, the whole point of generals is that minions should be a viable option. Interesting is that if you look at the most played DGs and those with the highest win percentage they are two Assassins, Reg and UB. Both who can be played with fairly devastating anti-minion build

Reply to Demigod player guide: Beast, Regulus, Rook, Torch bearer & Sedna in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Bad builds IMO. UB is far stronger going Ooze and Foul Grasp. You can then drop Spit, need no mana item and can get more health. Hotly debated, but usually far stronger, the only exception being against a kiting Regulus. Regulus with stats and mines is also a weak build. Mines are easily countered by good players, don't walk over them or move on animation. Scope 2 and 3 are junk for a skill point, simply not needed. Better off getting Mines and Sn
