[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="1003" id="2395606"]You might want to wait until the 1.041 hotfix to update though. [/quote] Thanks for the heads up Sparda. Armed with that information I may not release an updated version until the hotfix. I'm hoping that I can get compatibility for 1.04 done privately in the mean time though. I would hope that a hotfix won't modify anything too drastically on top of the 1.04 changes. -dolynick

Yeah, I still have a copy of the last vanilla version I released but it's seriously out of date now and if there isn't a lot missing that's in the current Entrenchment versions then what is there is probably quite different anyways. I did some rebalancing and changing up of stuff when I converted to Entrenchment, particularly with the Ancients. -dolynick

The only way to have the shield effect visible ALL the time would be to actually have an effect in play. This would not be an actual shield mesh but rather an effect created in particle forge. This is possible to do but requires the use of an ability slot. You would then have to sort out how to have it go away once the shield is depleted (and reapply once shield points are present again) but if I recall EOmega mentioned to me some time ago he had managed to get something lik

Very good overall strategic guide for Cataract. Well done Ke5strel. I've long been prioritizing the Fortitude flag on Cataract, followed by pushing the enemy gold flag. I play the Rook most of the time with my team and I'm starting to get quite good at either holding or keeping constant harrassment on the enemy in the fortitude lane if I'm pushed out when it's 2v1 against me. A good team will keep me away from the flag with continued 2v1 in that lane, in which case I

It's posted in the directions near the end of the thread post that the game may crash if you have your game settings turned up to the highest levels. Even one step down is enough to clear up the issue. I'm not sure what causes it but it's an issue that also affects some of the other large mods available. -dolynick

Reply to Just How Popular Is Cataract? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Yeah, I'm sick of Cataract as well. I really dislike Prison though... so aside from Leviathan as 3v3 there isn't much else to choose from. A lot of players will even complain about doing Leviathan 3v3 too but I personally think it works pretty well. Exile is fairly cool but tends to either be a blowout or drawn out grind due to the choke points. I love The Brothers but people complain about doing it 4v4 and 5v5 is a fairly rare game for me. The Brothers is also

I've updated the OP with new download links for updated versions of SGRaces, GalaxyMod, PlanetSize and SGGalaxy. These are mostly just 1.03 compatibility updates but there are a couple bug fixes as well. The only noteworthy change is that, when using PlanetSize or SGGalaxy, Gas Giants can now support 2 star bases within their massive gravity wells as opposed to just the one at other planets. SGGalaxy also gives Gas Giants more tactical slots now and a slightly higher max log

Reply to What Rook build have you advanced players had most success with? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

My Rook build is similar to the first reply but my order is a bit different. -I start with Towers 1. This is typically the only point I spend there, though in certain circumstances I could go for level 2 if need be. Towers are crucial to holding ground in the early game. Level 2 would make them more effective longer but in my case I have alternate uses for them as well. -2nd level is always Archers. I will also pick up the Tower of Light upgrade as soon

I played a game against Regabond last night and I have to say, his QoT was amazing. By far the toughest Queen I think I've ever gone up against. Maybe he'll be good enough to drop some of his tips here if he sees the thread. What I can tell you is that he used bramble shield and ground spikes extensively. He was able to do massive damage over the course of the game and his huge grunt kill score let him soundly outlevel everyone else in the game. He did have sha

Well, now that we have working a developer.exe for the latest patch version I have discovered quite a few new entity errors associated with the 1.03 patch. These are non-crash causing, which is why I didn't catch them initially but I will be releasing newer versions to correct it. The affected mods will be: SGRaces, GalaxyMod, PlanetSize and SGGalaxy. I believe I have already corrected the 100 or so entities affected but I should do a little testing first to be sure

Thats why it was never recommended to use them in multiplayer games. [/quote] I'm sorry but that is just incorrect. The entire point of the Core Maximizer was to increase Sim Speed. The tool came with the caveat that it could cause a small hit in FPS but would make long games where Sim Speeds often

Reply to Settings don't change Sim speed? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Sim speed is going to change during the game, that's just the norm. It's a measurement of how fast your computer is crunching all the numbers for what's going on behind the scenes (AI, pathfinding, sound, etc) and it only makes sense that it drops gradually over the course of a game as there are more and more creeps, etc to track. There will be moments in the game (like a creep surge or something) where processing time may spike but generally sim speed is fairly constant in it's d
