Reply to Taking advantage of piracy, how DRM lunacy caused low multiplayer player turnout in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]But the point is to build the community up so that users have a better experience, i.e. there is nothing gained for stardock and GPG by artificially limiting the communities size, we're talking about why only "23% of purchasers" played online, well then, if you want to see more people online if thats one of your goals to build an online community, then they should be going in the opposite direction. Demigod has been out for a while now and keeping the numbers of players playing online

[quote]In my oppinion, the best thing you could do to launch a (multiplayer) game is to create a free demo version that is compatible with full retail games. So in a lan party, for example, if only 2 people have the game, but 8 want to play, then that is fine, but those 6 players with the demo will be limitted to Rook and Torch Bearer.[/quote]You don't even need the Demo in case of Demigod. You can just copy the Demigod installation to your friends and start it (and activate it with your emai

However, figuring out the correct position and rotation angles, especially for multiple items can be excruciating. In this case I started by searching for the position of one of the portals, which was the point of reference after which I positioned the towers.

Reply to Using gadgets to fix towers / cit in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I occassionally heal structures with the Gadget, e.g. if we still have both the forward side towers later in the game, to make them last even longer. It's hardly ever worth it though. However, the Gadget is a great way to kill of unsuspecting or unprepared fleeing enemies, especially as Rook.
