I liked the Ehrlichman quote ^^ I'm a bit confused, though. How do you reconcile some of the comments here with, say, the Credit Card Legislation which passed with barely a murmur in May? Remember that bill ? According to a few of the talking points I'm reading here - we should trust the Free Market and Big Government is A Bad Thing. Right? So

[quote who="Obscenitor" reply="162" id="2337624"] It's 5,500 and do you not see any issue with pricing the warpstone so that every DG can get it? Every DG warping around (or even the majority of them) kind of homogenizes the way they're all played and causes balance changes I don't even want to think about.[/quote] ah ok, 5500 then, thanks. I definitely see (and remember) the issues with a cheap Warpstone (I think it was 1500g at one point in Beta with higher range and ent

Reply to Kestrel's Oak Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

hi jongalt26 - that's a good classic Assassin Oak build. ProneG and I have an ongoing debate on whether a build like yours or one like mine is better for tight team games (any thoughts, people?) Any critiques I might have would be around items, but really, if your selections work for you don't change them.. Some things that stick out - I would say experiment with getting monks early. If you use them right you don't have to avoid other DGs early and can push most

[quote who="Bamji" reply="4" id="2337285"] Anyone unsure on how an assassination goes, it is easiest done while the enemy is exposed which is most often while they are trying to strip down your defences.

Reply to I am the worst Demigod player ever in Demigod Demigod Forums

wow, what a *toxic* community [e digicons]:|[/e] really not - some good thoughts in this thread. I would start with Regulus and UB as your "primer" DGs. The skill floor for them is lower than for other DGs, imo, as long as you can learn to escape death ;) From there look at Minion Erebus After a few games with each of these guys you should have a feel for the possibilities of play - ranged, melee, and minion, then you can branch out

Diagram of a Skilled Game on Cataract in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

"Skilled" assumes that mistakes are minimal on both sides - no one is being pulled into an obvious gank, everyone has an escape route, and teams coordinate effectively to protect and support each other while advancing their strategies. In all cases flexibility is the most important aspect of play. Pursuing your strategy at the expense of actual events will get you crushed if your opponents know what they are doing. That said, I see people throwing themselves

Next Patch Should = Epoch 3 in Demigod Demigod Forums

A stats reset alone won't nearly cover it, however. Miyamiya illuminates my position exactly with this comment from another thread: [quote who="Miyamiya" reply="6" id="2326012"]I should clarify, and I should mention I have not done any research on the current ranking mechanism simply because of the obvious exploits and the resulting lack of interest.

Reply to Fun game, but ruined by the community IMO in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

I played a 2v2 with Vexerz the other day against excellent opponents. His typed communication was constant, very shrewd, always polite, and a big contributing factor to the win. Our opponents, no kidding, were brothers who have been playing since last September and were either on Skype or in the same room, and I doubt their comm was much better than ours. I can't speak to the flammable comments he's made upthread (single mothers?), but I can say that

Reply to speed items increase minion movement speed! in Demigod Demigod Forums

FWIW mcmjon was speed boosting his minions back in Beta - I think they actually nerfed yetis to their current terrible levels because of that guy.. He sat at his crystal, summoned yetis, procced wand of speed (which I think was a 40% boost back then) and sent them zooming up to the enemy citadel FTW Rook's boulder speed corresponds with his move speed too, pretty sure And I think TheBigOne, HorseRadish, and maybe Telkku were pulling the straight morale build post-

This has never, ever been the case. Every level of shield, starting with level 1, will purge any debu

Just a note, since it looks like one guy doesn't understand -Disallowed means you can't do it in the game. Allowed means you *can* do it in the game. @ Kokujin - no punishment necessary in a community as small as this one - if two teams of established players go so far as to set the rules beforehand and then one team breaks those rules I imagine no one with skill will want to play with them - solves itself @ woppin - either put HR or House Rules in the tit

House Rules for Experienced Players in Demigod Demigod Forums

I ran into a situation the other day where the group I was playing with joined a game of premade experts and a couple on my team asked that the opponent Sedna not use the 30% High Priest bug, since we were going to play without a Sedna of our own. The other team didn't agree to this and it was their host, so everyone on my side left the lobby. In custom games it is host's game, his rules, no worries, but it would be cool if we could reach a common ground in pub games

Frustrated as I am with bits surrounding the core game, I have faith in 1. Stardock's reputation - more specifically, the blow to that rep should Demigod be left to die in a corner. No, SD didn't make the game, but they have integrity tied up in it, and they do have leverage over GPG in the form of 2.

I apologize if this has come up before, it's a big thread. You know how everyone says Sedna is the Queen of 1v1? Do you think that's because she does so much damage or mitigates almost all of yours? (Hint - door # 2) I think the focus on doing damage when it comes to duplicating abilities is kinda missing the point - the most powerful abilities in the game are about mitigation (the same way they were about control in Beta - you can still get some of th
