[quote quoting="post"] Hi all, sorry if this has been discussed; a quick scan of the first pages yielded no answer. I preordered this amazing looking game yesterday, and understand this entitles me to be part of the next beta, which unless something happened I believe begins today. I have not recieved any information about the beta, and can find nothing about it on Impulse either. Are there special steps I have to take, or should I contact someone? Thanks!<b
[quote who="Bamf005" reply="7" id="1982120"]I read about Demigod in PC gamer and decided to check out the site. While I was trolling the site yesterday I just found out Demigod had a beta. So if I preorder today, or tomorrow will I still be able to get into the beta? I understand I would be in the back of the line, yet does that mean I missed out on it? [/quote] Yes you will. They generally leave it open for a week or two. Sooner the better though.
I've seen a number of posts around and thought I would compile a few PMs I have sent to people who have PMed me questions. With images from the always helpful OrleanKnight. This should answer almost any and every question. Beta 2 RELEASED today, 12/18. If you preordered you WILL get in today. 1. If you have preordered, download impulse from stardocks website. 2. Enter the email you used when purchas
[quote who="TheIcarusTwo" reply="17" id="1981625"]Thanx for the update. So how I (we) be able to get the BETA? (If i can)[/quote] Preorder NOW!!!
[quote who="jsjay83" reply="9" id="1981612"]Hi guys, i recently pre ordered a copy of the game and i am wondering if i get to play the beta version of the game? [/quote] Any prior preorders will definately be in.
What the Hell has this digressed to? [e digicons]o_O[/e] I am confused, disturbed, and wondering if I should be either of those. There goes any relevance of posts I have attempted in this thread.
[quote who="Mistralok" reply="14" id="1970556"]I'm with Trig on this one. We should be able to stash any potion/scroll/whatever we find, and use it at the time of our choosing. I love Tyo's poisoned potions. I don't remember seeing this in any other game. If they are to be included though, they shouldn't always be poison. There should be a relatively small percentage chance that they are tainted. Anything other than this will preclude players from picking them up at all.[/quo
I think there will be official clan support. This was talked about and I hope they still plan to keep this in. I would love to play in a group, though I am in med school (research year out) and have tons of other activities, so sometimes I won't be around. It would be really cool to have a group that plays together and against each other and chat online. I am game for your group. We may have to split into more clans if time zones become an issue.

Yes. It sounds like something bigger than a snafu would have to occur, a natural disaster that causes the eastern seaboard to disappear or a snow storm that shuts that down their servers. You might wanna check a thread devoted to this, ie my thread on "Demigod BETA 2 Update Thread with comments from Mike Marr, lead designer" . It has all the most recent info. It is also 6th on most recent posts. Try to look next time before making redundant t
[quote who="Fire-Ice" reply="25" id="1981090"]I can't even get anyone off their cheap asses to buy this game, they all want to bum it off me by going to my place every so often and playing it on my account. I sure hope I don't get owned [/quote] LOL. See demigod makes the perfect christmas gift.

Look under latest news. They have both IGN and Gamspy listed. I agree though, they need an icon in the upper right corner. Show off what you earned. Hell list it in the impulse store too.
[quote who="Spartan" reply="5" id="1980286"]Hmmm... None of the game websites have changed yet. I guess everyone at SD and IC are drunk... [/quote] Both galciv and SINS mainpages have been updated. Are you referring to the store pages?
[quote who="JinxOfSin" reply="5" id="1980729"] I don't think it's "on", Legerdemain is right - I should have been more cordial, or at the very least, less hostile. Still, it's much easier to do so when all parties show mutual respect from the get-go. [/quote] Glad to see you want an inviting tone and you see the error in some of your past posts.

[quote who="CC" reply="18" id="1980262"]Man i wish i can get some personal friends to play Demigod. Either all of them are to into WoW or they don't play games.

C.C, please, please change your login to CC, it annoys me t
I think there will be a lot of changes in Beta 2. If there are not, you can't prevent someone from doing a dick move if they really want to. That said, if there are not changes after thursday, we'll have to talk on this some more.
DatonKallandor, great explanation. You really explained a lot of peoples veiw on that in a non-jerk way. I second all of DK points exactly in this reply. Excellent post. We'll talk later about the whole EPIC FAIL Fiasco further up.

[quote who="TheBigOne" reply="2" id="1979866"]from the looks of the screen shot you will be able to do skirmishes vs the AI as you could in the earlier versions, but no real singleplayer mode and you'll probably have to start a multiplayer game and then adding bots.[/quote] What TBO said.

I don't really care about playing the original, just trying to help OP by providing more info.
Here is what IGN had to say about GalCiv II:TA: One of the year's most contested categories, but in a crowded field Stardock's Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor earns the honors for being the standard for what expansion packs should aim to be. This expansion wasn't just more of the same, but rather an incredible overhaul of the existing game. Improvements and enhancements were made across the board, from the gameplay mechanics to the visuals.
Just for easy reference SINS beat out a ton of great games. For Game of the Year, it beat: Fallout 3 Grand Theft Auto IV Left 4 Dead Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning For Best Strategy Game, it beat: Red Alert 3 Europa Universalis: Rome Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Coloniz
In my opinion a big win for a game no one really knew about. SINS is a truly a sucess story. This game is everything I have always wanted in a space strategy game. If that wasn't enough, join the SINS microexpansion Entrenchment BETA now for $9.99. If you do, I'll play you. Let's hope Demigod is the winner next year, it sure looks like it will get my vote. Here is what IGN had to say about SINS fo game of t
