Confirmed from here. It lags while the fortress is collapsing and the screen starts to pan around but a few seconds later all is OK again.

[quote who="Sevenix" reply="1" id="2074128"]Mageslayer isnt the cheapest one, cheapest one is 8k, Also, if you got enough gold to buy mageslayer you have won already anyway. P.S. It does sound evil though [/quote] I don't think so. Gathering 8k is not so hugelly difficult and I usually manage it by the mid game since I'm not buying any other items (except perhaps wyrmskin handguards) and focus on killing creeps.

[Balance] Unclean Beast + Mage Slayer + Inner Beast = OMGWTFBBQ! in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

Ok, I've been playing with this for the last few games and I'm smelling ultimate pain cooking which I am not certain should be legal The recipe is this. UB + Stuff that gives attack speed (Inner Beast basically) + the Mage Slayer sword which is the cheapest artifact one can buy, and it becomes a very very nasty killing machine. Add to it the Wyrmskin Armbands for the extra damage and slowdown and the pain is immense. I am talking to the tune of felling a tank god within

I'm very glad you bring in professional writers. That will hopefully make the game world very memorable and incite fan content and stories. I hope you won't mind if I make some suggestions while you're still in the development phase? I'd like to see some research that is unique to each faction. That would really help each of them stand out. Instead of having simply one quasi-RPG unit, allow the players to recruit characters which can join your armies as sergeants, (attach

Btw, I have a save for a huge battle but I can't really enjoy it much with the hub in the middle. The cinematic camera simply removes the fleet colours so it doesn't help much. Is there any way to make watching grand battles like this more enjoyable? I don't remember which game it was which had a cinematic option with which the camera simply left your control and started taking cinematic views on its own. At one point it would follow one ship up close, at another it would do a bullet

Gerry, I think the problem here is that you joined too early. If you think you would have been more constructive at beta3, then you should stop playing until that comes out. There are others who think they can have a constructive input before that however (including Stardock employees) so for them, the option to play Beta1 and Beta2 is open.
