I disagree. I'd rather have the player not be replaced and his gold dispersed to the team than have an AI replace them.

Reply to [SUGGESTION] Heavy Shadow Maps in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Interesting idea, but I'd prefer even more to see maps with multiple elevation levels, and when you're on one level you can't see the other (unless an allied unit is there). There'd be fun ways for players to take advantage of elevation in that case.

They'd still be worth nothing, and making them be worth nothing at all would be weird. The best and easiest option IMO is to just allow players to turn them off. Even if the AI were great it just seems weird to me to think that I could be playing a serious rated game, a player drops or something, and then an AI takes over. Serious matches should always involve players, not AI.

Reply to Player Replacement Options in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

That would be interesting, but I'm not sure how viable it is. For now I think our best hope is an option to turn off AI replacement for games with players experienced enough for it to be a hindrance rather than a help.

[quote who="Gabberkooij" reply="15" id="2122780"] Ok, so now we want to create Demigod in the Unreal 3 engine?[/quote] A.Z. is right, you're intentionally misinterpreting him and shutting down his suggestion, which is all too commonplace here. I'm pretty sure his point is that the maps are so flat and basically 2D (they're like wacky chessboards). There's a lot more they could have done in that sense.

Please give us the option to turn off AI replacement when a player leaves or is disconnected.

I think if you look somewhere between what A.Z. said and what Blitz said you'll have a pretty decent estimation of the game from what we know now.

Reply to comparing with another DoTA inspired game: League of Legend in Demigod Demigod Forums

The problem with targeting casual gamers is that by definition they don't stay with games for very long. You can count on casuals to go out and buy a lot of games over the course of each year, but they'll only spend enough time with each game to have some fun a few hours a week and then eventually move on to the next thing that sounds interesting. "Hardcore" players might make up a smaller portion of the playerbase, but they'll be sure to buy expansions and keep the game going.<

if a player leaves he will be replaced by a cpu controlled unit and completely mess up his team. ;)

Reply to [competition] warning, long read but proofed and slightly directed to makers of demigod interested in competition in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I think we have to wait and see what kind of community we get size-wise and attitude-wise with this game before we start talking in this sort of depth how competition is going to be structured. The game would have to be really huge for the kind of measures you're talking about. Right now I think it's optimistic to hope for something along the lines of Age of Empires 3: decent sized community, tournaments now and then, possible involvement in WCG, RTS league for clans, etc.

Reply to a few thoughts about how to make Demigod a successful e-sport game in Demigod Demigod Forums

Some basic guidelines for an "e-sport" or competitive game: 1) easy to learn, extremely difficult to ever completely master 2) simple in concept, complex in details 3) fun no matter how skilled you are 4) easy to tell what's going on when watching 5) lots of structure / support for competition (ranking, statistics tracking, tourna

Reply to Map Editor/Modkit for Demigod? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Yeah, I'd love to try my hand at designing some maps for Demigod. If you take a look at Starcraft, the most popularly played maps now, many years after the release, are usermade ones. Giving users the ability to create their own content is the best way to ensure ongoing content for a game, as opposed to continuous expansions from the developers.

[quote who="Evanescent" reply="19" id="2121280"] I think everyone is jumping the gun a bit here.

Enable items that remove skill from gameplay option? :P Your suggestion is extremely vague. What kind of items are you talking about? I think it's obvious you're being totally sarcastic and are instead suggesting that those items simply be added to the base game. If you're doing that, why don't you actually throw out some more specific ideas / guidelines for these kinds of items? I agree that the purchasing "game" at the moment seems rather for

Reply to Testers: Post Final Demigod Game Reviews Here in Demigod Demigod Forums

Here's my initial review: The game is easy to jump right into, has a very small learning curve, and is fun pretty much from the get go. Current balance issues will need to be addressed for this (the fun factor) to be at all true once people play the game for more than a few days against other players. Further balance and gameplay tweaks will be necessary to give the game greater depth and longevity, but the base product is there, and it shows a lot of promis

Would be interesting but not implementable at this point. Plus, there are probably better ways to introduce micro / depth to the game. I'd be satisfied mainly with changing many of the skills to have higher difficulty of use and greater risk versus reward.

While it's true that at the highlest level of competition some people may take the game too seriously, a serious competitive scene is necessary for the continued interest of the playerbase in the game. Sure, casuals who don't really care about watching replays or posting on forums and just play random matches or with friends won't really mind one way or another, but for the community to stay strong and cohesive and active, a competitive scene will be required. It's not so much tha

[quote who="Hilving" reply="15" id="2120561"] The reason behind this, is because I feel it's better for the Demigod community to stay on the official forums, rather than just spreading out to different uploading sites.
