Reply to Fix Rook AI in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

The simple fact is that the AI can only run through so many scripts per second to formulate a good plan before it fries your comp; and that number is far lower then the number of decisions needed to be made to be a good player. Many people don't realize how many decisions they are making in such a limited time. Sure, it seems easy to say that once an AI goes below X health then it needs to return to base, but what if it only needs one second more to cap a flag, or one skill would kill a fleei

[quote who="Hortz" reply="3" id="2354991"] Quoting kyogre12, reply 1 Because when a game hasn't even entered beta, the way the game looks is obviously finalized and not subject to change at all. It's not like they're still working on it or anything. I mean, there's only a year until it's released, the game should be pratically finished by now! Stop faking the argument, there are many elements there are finished before even alpha, and the definition

Reply to SD plans for MP (europeans take note) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I doubt Elemental will require signigicant upload speed. Due to the nature of Elemental I would think it wouldn't need as much upload speed as Demigod, with which I can run 3v3 fine with only 0.62 Mbps upload. Clarification would help to clear the air though.

Reply to SD plans for MP (europeans take note) in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If you have a bad connection you won't be able to play online. The only difference is that unlike most games which let you figure this out once the game has started, Elemental won't give you the chance to ruin a multiplayer game.

I agree with Island Dog. I consider myself a moderate liberal, but with Medicade broke, Medicare broke, and Social Security broke I don't see how someone could think that the federal government could run a fiscally sound heath care plan. Also, the police and fire departments are ran by local governments, not the federal government. Comparing the two is rediculous. I'm all for health care reform. It's bullshit that companies can decline your claims and drop you the way the can or the w

And the best freaking cartoon of all time http://www.

[quote who="Hortz" reply="80" id="2340263"]I would like to agree with what is being said here, but when I look at King's Bounty: The Legend, I think it will age great too, especially considering the high quality of animations and various spell effects in combat, but Elemental art style so far looks devoid of content and details, like I said before realism is not the issue, nor that it is cartoonish, but what kind of cartoonish, I hope that is obvious to everyone. Maybe it is too ea

[quote who="Sakhari" reply="17" id="2331223"] (in an experimental setup with just him vs 10 towers) When it comes to balance scenarios, there's not much sense experimenting with situations that will 'never' arise in an actual game. If we're assuming that the game needs to be balanced with heartattacks killing all members of the opposing team in mind, I'm sure I could drum up some imba too. *edit - Also, at level 2, Regulus needs to plink

Reply to This game is simply amazing, and one of the few that's worth my money. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I don't think there are too many statistics to say either way what % of people pirate games(Stardock's CEO, however, stated that at the Demigod launch there were around 120,000 Demigod users with only 18,000 of those legitimate customers, so take it as you will). But the fact is very little can be done here even if that is his real name. Could Stardock ban him from the forums and never let him purchase any of thier products...probably, but that'd simply be taking money out of thier pockets, a

Reply to Dawn of Discovery is Fun! in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

While I don't like DRM, I don't think pirating anyway will get thier attention. They will simply put more restrictive DRM to try and combat it, despite however pointless such a cause appears to us. The only way to stop companies from putting DRM on thier products is to not buy or pirate thier games. Obviously not buying the game sends them the loudest message as if sales drop and consumers make it known that it is because of the DRM, smart companies will think twice before doing it ag

Reply to Elemental: Internal debates made external in Elemental Dev Journals Demigod Forums

After playing Anno 1404 for about 10 of the last 24 hours, I can say setting up an empire with different resources being harvested in one place and sent to another via trade routes is a lot of fun. However, it also becomes kind of tiring manually changing routes as an areas needs change. As a result, I think that resources automaticly going to areas as they are needed sounds like a good idea.

As someone who regularly plays pugs(I dont even know what this term means), I'll give it a go. 1.

It's not wrong and I don't think thats the question - however, some people seem to have the opinion that if you've played with people before then you're a premade, even though you're not some extremely experienced team, my definition of a premade. 3.
