Reply to FREAKING premades in Demigod Demigod Forums

Dano just joined a game of mine and bitched at me about having a premade, even though he was on my team. Me and a friend of mine play together often. We are good players, even individually. Sometimes we have bad games, everyone does, but we are good overall. Our skill levels don't decline when we aren't with each other though, which is why I have a problem with the OP. Being in a premade doesn't make us GOOD players. We each have an understanding of the characters we play, what items to buy i

Reply to Nerf Minions in Demigod Demigod Forums

Shadow it's not an exaggeration ok? I was away from my citadel and soon as it started getting attacked, I ran back towards it, by the time I got there it was a few thousand HP away from death. Look at my record, and then come tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm a good player and you aren't looking at the big picture. Sometimes a combination of Demigods can not possibly counter that strategy. I couldn't do shit against it as a sedna. I had an oak on my team, once again, no

[quote]I do not think using a minion build is unbeatable and requires a nerf[/quote] Whenever a pack of minions can destroy any tower in 7 seconds, or run past them all and do 20k damage to your citadel in 30 seconds, then it needs a nerf. Maybe you haven't played against an Erebus that maxes out his minions before but it is extremely frustrating. [quote]If his nightcrawlers had 2000+ HP you were getting stomped anyways. Also, the maximum he could have had at one time is 16. A

Nerf Minions in Demigod Demigod Forums

I just want to start off by saying holy shit, I just finished possibly the 2 most frustrating demigod games in my life. Erebus maxing out minion upgrades, and sending them to attack towers, and even our citadel, which almost made us lose a game we completely dominated in kills, warscore, and upgrades. If there was more than 1 erebus on the other team using that "strategy", we would have lost. There is no viable counter, as the only way to prevent it is to kill Erebus, and he can sit in his ba

Done with Pantheon and Skirmish in Demigod Demigod Forums

Started playing Pantheon for the first time. 3 wins in a row, all went great, pretty much dominated and caused the other team to concede. Next 3 games were lost, 2 unhandled exception errors, and a 2v2 where my teammate disconnected. I don't know if I can play a game where the rankings don't reflect true skill, but instead how lucky you were to not get an error. So now I sit at 3-3, and I'm not a .500 player. I don't claim to be an almighty pro, but I'm pretty damn good and I do care about re

However, from that I conclude, snipe needs a buff at higher levels . I have been saying this since the beta.

Reply to The citadel upgrade thread. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

From games I have played, games are won and lost based on warscore. To get warscore, you have to capture flags. To capture and keep flags you have to be able to survive against and kill other demigods by having enough health, armor and mana without returning to base once a minute or after every single fight. Therefore you have to buy items for yourself. I got in this habbit of actually spending too much money on base upgrades and being too selfless and not buy myself enough items and

Reply to Problem with upgrading to additional units in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

You're right, I just played another game, and that was the problem. Upgrading to priests early is still effective, as long as you make sure to destroy towers that are in the lanes after you do it. This was the problem I was having is that they were just being used as free exp and gold for the other team and I wasn't doing anything with it. If you destroy the towers slowly but surely, the priest upgrade will pay off, especially if you buy it in conjunction with unit HP upgrades. If you

Problem with upgrading to additional units in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I've had a problem lately, where when winning a game pretty well or in a dead even match, upgrading to priests too soon, ends up actually greatly increasing the level of my opponents, or making their war rank shoot above ours because they are getting more kills. Does anyone have tips on when to upgrade to priests, etc.? It's just kind of aggrivating buying something that is supposed to be an upgrade and then it ends up backfiring, or so it seems.

[quote who="Daikaze" reply="1" id="2156497"]Well, assuming they weren't Nightmare AI, I'd have to say they simply knew how to properly upgrade their Citadel. They could have purchased the experience upgrades or the +experience gain favor item to boost their levels. If the other guy was left alone enough to creep they would have gained quite a bit of xp as a result... Even more so if they were the Queen of Thorns as she tends to level fast due to her AOE capabilities. It also seems

Me and a friend just finished playing a 2v2 on prison. It was a custom game, created by someone else. Me and my friend had them up in their base for most of the map except one time when they made a push. We dominated them pretty well, I had 4 kills, my friend had 6 kills, the 2 guys on the other team each had 1 kill. They seemed to be loaded on money the entire game and were buying alot of upgrades for their base. On the final stat screen, they had ridiculous numbers compared to ours, includi

The exploit is ineffective in the long run, especially if you play against demigods such as torch bearers, regulus with mines, basically anything with a halfway decent AoE. With my Oak the only bought minions I ever use are healers. And I usually end up maxing out spirits because of all the increased damage and end up hitting very hard by endgame.

Reply to AI bots have no place in skirmish mode. in Demigod Demigod Forums

Some fixes are coming in this week to make it easier to connect during skirmish and pantheon Modes. I think the problem with these 2 is there is no confirmation or anything and people get uneasy during the 5 minutes you're trying to connect and give up. I have yet to play a skirmish/pantheon game that isn't over half bots. As far as bots are concerned, they really are terrible. If you go around the back of the base and capture a portal, they don't respond and just keep
