Reply to Why is everyone upset the game came out "early"?!? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

If the on disk version of the game when released in AUS is not a very recent and very fixed patch...I won't be buying it at all. I refuse to buy a game that potentially won't work or will have game breaking flaws. When is the last time you bought a CD and they accidentally slipped in a 4 track demo recording of a track instead of the produced one...never you say? My point exactly. You pay for a working release. You don't buy a cd knowing it's f-ed up so that you can dow

[quote who="Tridus" reply="39" id="2752218"] Quoting dchalfont, reply 30I haven't bought the game yet, launch reviews were not too kind. I don't like the idea of the game I buy being outdated and in dire need of multiple patches on day 1....kind of defeats the purpose of having a disk at all. So much for all the pro single player ( no DRM ) aspects of the game when you have to go online to update the sucker. I find it more than a little bit amusing that this

My god, stardock, you continue to amaze me with your outstanding PC support. I bought the digital/physical bundle of demigod and will be buying this game on day 1. As someone who does not play games online and has a terrible internet connection the updated physical version is immensely appealing to me. It is a shame that the same is not possible with demigod....unless I am mistaken and there is some way to install and patch the game fully offline.

Reply to Limited Edition - Hard game case inside? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I was a cardboard outer case ( with no real reinforcing cardboard to stop the box from collapsing ) and then on the inside there was a really sad effort of a cardboard dvd sleeve with the dvd loosely held in. To be honest I often throw away the outer case as the cardboard looks tacky and just put the hard case with my other games on a shelf, if it is a limited edition I do the same but leave the box with the items separate, I don't like the cases getting damaged from we

Reply to Sandbox mode= skirmish mode? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Thanks for the reply, i've bought too many games recently that had little to no offline content, and this is never indicated in the game, I still play HOMM on a weekly basis, and it never gets old, so that's good to hear that this will offer similar levels of replayability.

Limited Edition - Hard game case inside? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

When I ordered the limited edition of demigod there was a cheap cardboard case shoved in the box and a bent pewter figure...not exactly what I was expecting... Will there be a hard plastic game case inside so that in 12 months time I won't have to remove the disk and put it into a generic plastic dvd case from kmart because my cheap cardboard box has disintegrated... You know because a limited edition game should be something you can put on display, not lock away in a dry plac

That would be awesome, the graphical style would make for some awesome art books etc.

Sandbox mode= skirmish mode? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Being that it is not an RTS so to speak, skirmish would not be the correct word to describe it, but the sandbox mode will be a kind of free-play mode where you can just load up a match and play against the A.I that is not strictly tied to the campaign? (you can tell i'm not in the BETA ) But as a long time RTS and HOMM fan I have to say that I have never once felt compelled to play a game online. So if anyone could give me the official yay or nay

Reply to Demigod in 12 months time in Demigod Demigod Forums

my 2 cents that no one will ever see, definately less than 20 demigod's for sure, and i think it goes without saying that they wouldn't put that many man hourse into making that much new content ( animations balancing= alot of hours) anyway, but 12 or 16 sounds good to me, 4 more this year 4 more nest, maybe..thats being realistic

Egyptian- Annubis General Type in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I know a few people have mentioned this already but some specifics: Has a giant staff as a melee weapon but it has a pillar of light/dark orb on top which can be upgraded to shoot a beam out as a direct damage magic ability. Raises Mummys as a unit specific minion Has an ability called Ageing which reduces speed/health/armour/attack speed by 10/15/20% as it upgrades, and the effect lasts 20 seconds except the health loss which is permanent ( until regen

hell mf yeah they need an egyptian themes demigod and also wheres the greek titan at?, a dude who levels up his lighting as a ranged direct damage spell ( similar to torch bearers fireball), anyway, i'm just excited for new demigods..i do with they'd hurry up with them though...as valve have proven, supporting your game after release can boost sales alot ( as was seen recently with l4d), so bring on the demigods
