Reply to Pre Order this game? in Demigod Demigod Forums

1) I think at least 7 Demigods have been revealed so far. They are divided up into two types - Generals which build units and Assassins which do more direct attacks - but each type has several different Demigods to choose from. For example, the Assassins also have a sniper-angel, a big dog-like monster called the Unclean Beast, and an undead viking called the Torch Bearer. 2) As far as I know, preordering now will still get you into the beta.

Yeah, there is more than one mother. I like "The God died" more than "The All-Father Vanished" :(

[quote]I'm just the opposite... I hate multiplayer games, I detest them, and I despise them specifically when you're not allowed to enjoy the full content or available items unless you play multi-player, and there's been a whole slew of games to do just that. Two recent examples are Stranger and World Shift. The game play sounded like a great deal of fun, but the developers explicitly stated that you could play single player, but unless you were playing multi-player, you'd miss out on the majori

Champion sounds too much like the princess's favorite soldier or something. It doesn't sound like the guy in charge.

Sounds like a lame attempt at a fancier storyline :/. All-Father? That just plain sounds [i]stupid[/i].

Supposedly most games are between 20 and 50 minutes, I think.

As long as it is unranked-only I don't see a problem.

I haven't heard anything about Assassin Demigods that don't kill stuff...

They are "requesting that everyone start migrating to the Official Demigod Forum" here at Stardock. So they aren't just suggesting that we check for news here, they are telling us to start leaving the GPG forums.

We are scattered all over the world so that probably won't work.

I haven't heard a suggestion yet that is better than Assassin. Warlords and Heroes could be Generals or Assassins. Assassin is a little misleading but I think it is fine.

Reply to Please Let there be blood! in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

If it was rated M there would be plenty of people who wouldn't be able to get it... besides, blood doesn't really add much to a game, especially when you consider that we are playing with GODS. Gods don't have blood :)

Something like air units seems a little too important to leave out of the betas :D.

Wow, it's nice to see someone so excited about GR :D. I'm also an admin over there for Supcom, and like Poita_ I'll be doing what I can to help out the Demigod section. The best thing we can do now is keep people interested through discussion. Demigod looks like it could be a really great multiplayer game, and an active community is something it'll probably need to succeed.

Reply to A god has fallen: Can you take his place? in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I think the units that come out of the portals (for both Generals and Assassins) are uncontrollable. Generals, however, can make special units that they can control. Generals wouldn't be able to control Assassins' units since normal creeps are uncontrollable.

[quote]so how could the beta 1 be no fun then?[/quote] Because they don't want people to cry if something crashes, is bugged, or is imbalanced :)

Reply to A god has fallen: Can you take his place? in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

The first guy (the TorchBearer) is an Assassin I think, with various fire and ice spells. The Rook is also an Assassin. Assassin players just get the normal creeps to help out, while General players get to recruit extras. And by "Assassin" and "General", they just mean RPG-ish fighter and RTS-ish commander. They don't necessarily look like rogues or whatever.

Reply to We need Randomness! in Demigod Demigod Forums

80 would be way too many Demigods; they would end up too similar. Most RTS games only have 3 to 10 factions and they don't get boring. This isn't quite the usual RTS but I see no reason why 10 to 20 Demigods would get boring quickly. I think they said that maps won't have height differences.

[link="http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/"]Gamereplays[/link] has a Demigod portal. It is a pretty busy site so there should be plenty of activity once the game or beta is released.
