Reply to AI builds in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Of course, this shouldnt be a problem. The reason the harder AI's cheat is because in a game of tactical choices, AI's fall behind. Hence to make it challenging, they get to cheat. Still, Nightmare AI is only as good as mediocre players if you ask me. They just do incomprehensible things or make very bad decisions (like teleporting to and capturing flags they already own that have merely been walked through by the oponent. They still get the bonus for the flag yet the still insist on teleport

Reply to Dealing with Queen of Thorns Shield in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The cooldown is unfortunately very short. 7s I believe. If you have 2 or 3 high dps chars on your side you can indeed break the shield and kill her before she can raise it again. There is also the abilities that increase cooldown. Those can help but again it really relies on having a large amount of good DPS. Yuo are corrcet however that focusing on shield skill and items to perma shield you and your allies does reduce her offesnsive effectiveness. The main thing here is this is one o

My pleasure Olorin. Sorry about the information overload but it seemd like a long wall of text centered on the main problems was what you needed to get the hamser running in its wheel. I encourage you, now that you have tried both extremes to find a good middle ground. Try playing a game where for every gold you spend on yourself, you spend one on the ctadel. See how that works for you and then adjust. One of the great things about this game is that the most effective way to do things are dif

Reply to Dealing with Queen of Thorns Shield in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Well quite a few people will come in here saying Focus attack it to break the shield or stop her from casting in the first place or any other aount of unhelpful advice. The only thing you can really do is: A: hope you have a high enough DPS that you can focus HER and kill her shield and her. Trying to take on her allies with her shielding is a losing battle. B: GTFO. scatter, make them split up. Go contest their flags in other places. Back up to your towers. Hide. &nbs

Reply to Twisted Erebus Strategy in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

My tests have found the same. In mist form, Erebus is invulnerable. Not just untargetable. The 10% dodge is added because 30/hpsec regen is not powerful enough to warrant being so far down the skill tree. The current build Im testing/mastering is the Erebus MistMinion Build. Mist being my only power with everything else going into minions. You do require quite a bit of mana items to be in mist permanently, but you really dont need that. If you can mist for a minute which is easily doa

Its silly I know, but the better laid out it is, the better people will feel your guide is. Also, can you explain why you get so many activatable mana intensive abilities instead of using some points on the passive buff (bottom skill on tree, generals have moral, assassins have.......?) Also, be sure to put up your main "kill combo". Ability 1-> Ability 2-> Dance the Maquerehna-> Ability 3. Something to that effect. The more elaborate your explanation t

Reply to Stormcrow's Regulus Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Hey StormCrow, At a quick look the build looks good. All you need to work on is your formatting. Some sort of progression would be nice. Its great to list the items, but try and group them into catagories. What to get at first, what to get (and hence how much gold to have) for your first trip back to town. Lastly, its always great to describe some of your most succesful uses. If you find that at X level with X items you can really harass the crap out of X demigod, you s

Wait you mean someone could possibly think of using vengeance? Guess I should have specified (NEVER TAKE VENGEANCE). The AoE from Angelic Fury is indeed what I was speaking of. Add in the bottom ability, sniper scope, the snare and mark (or even snipe) during mid game (when your mana outpaces your Angelic Fury) and late game your a beast.

Reply to Hit and Run Strategies in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

For completely new players absolutely. But there is very little meat to the guide. It covers something that is indeed important but really doesnt help any more then making people aware of the fact that they need to find the "critical mass" point of their char when playing against others. Its something you cant learn from a short guide. It has to either be a very VERY long one, or, and far better, actually playing and finding out what point you need to back off. Again, i

I know Reg. I know. At least hes trying. This post had one piece of useful information.

Reply to Mega Minion General? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I am going to have to disagree with the other 2 posters. If you do what you said, and focus on your minions, I have found them to be very powerful. I can absolutely rape towers with the army and when you suprise a demigod (teleport into a battle with your army) the very large change in DPS often nets you a kill. I think the problem is that people are playing too many hybrid builds and thinking its a minion build. This leads to people thinking minions are underpowered. But let me tell you, wit

Reply to Regulus Late Game Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Late game Regulus relies more on the passive abilities then anything else. The AOE from Angelic fury, passive abilities and mark of the betrayer make for a very powerful late game Regulus. In general, it is pretty safe to say that the more passive abilities you take and the less activatable, the more powerful you will be later on (when all the passives stack). As to when and what you should take, well, that is far more complicated.

Hi Paul, Well, I have 2 ideas for you. 1. You are playing against the AI, who sucks. Big time.

Hi Folks, Ive thrashed the hard AI's quite a few times with quite a few characters and have since moved on to Nightmare (which, really isnt very difficult either). I used to play a lot of Dota, so the games mechanics came very easily to me. Perhaps I can help a few of you out. The very first thing Id like to say is, if you have to go back to your base to heal at the crystal, you have done something wrong and are one step closer to losing the game.

Reply to The heart of the Torch Bearer in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I have yet to see a guide that does not recommend Heart. Regardless of Demigod. It is definately on the OP side. There should be a mana cost to activate, a longer cool down or some sort of trade off to using it. Heck even an increase in gold (at least 8k) and move it to the artifact list. Maybe having the effect end on movement would be a good idea. Just all around far too powerful. As is, this should be very high on every players priority list. I dont think there are any items that g
