Reply to My personal think about the Rook. (gameplay hint !! to beat Wagnard ) in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think alot of the issue is that people have had these legendary experiences with Rook. I had one game where a level 15 Rook was able to hold one of our portals against my Reg and my ally's QoT for a ridiculously long time. Two of us at our crystal couldn't beat off one Rook, and if we weren't careful he'd kill us. At our crystal. We ended up winning that game, but it still leaves a lasting impression... Rook is not broken. His speed needs a very small n

Beta 3 Tournament in Demigod Demigod Forums

The devs have brought up the idea of having a friendly tournament (as in competition, not metagame) in Beta 3. It might be to early but maybe we could talk about what that might look like? Brackets? Prizes? Game Options/settings? Allowable maps and DGs? Personally: I'd expect brackets for 1 v 1 all the way up to 5 v 5 (if the netcode can be made to work that high) Good Prizes If they want to save money: Impulse Gift Certificates, Game Post

This is the first comprehensive Generals remix I've seen that I could get behind, even if it took 15 minutes to read.

I'm confused, because from where I sit the game gets more interesting every week, whether there is a patch or not. To use your metaphor: have you ever actually built a house? Operating off of a good blueprint (which we never got, btw - and no, marketing interviews 3 months ago don't count) only gets you so far. You run into structural and

yah I was about to put something in another post about this but you beat me to it, Wagnard! ;P Oh well, I'll just add to what you said a bit - After testing last night I, too, found the best way to evade hammerslam is to run "through" the Rook slamming. If you get behind him you will not be hit with any damage at all and it's very easy to do with the long hammer channel. This works regardless of the size of your DG silhouette, so if you are in a Rook Duel it wil

Reply to Demigod Fan Blog in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hi Jordan, There are no NDAs so you are free to blog about any and all aspects of the game. You should definitely keep in mind that according to the CEO of Stardock, Brad Wardell, Stardock Betas are traditionally rough right up until release, so take it all with a grain of salt. If you need tips on gameplay there are some helpful stickies and fan sites, but you can always just ask in the forums as well. Welcome to the community :)

Hammerslam - Interesting Characteristics in Demigod Demigod Forums

I've been noticing some interesting things about Rook's Hammerslam, mostly from the perspective of an opponent Regulus. Please keep in mind that I don't really play as Rook, so all you experts should add insight where you have it. 1. Hammerslam seems to have a keyhole area of effect. That is to say, there is a circular area of effect around the slam but it also appears to radiate out from the Rook in a line toward the enemy target for a signifi

As I said, at most you can position your disorganized minion cloud independantly of your demigod on the map, but that's it.
