We all do, really. Not really is he incredibly fun to play as, he's pretty damn sexy too!

Exile's one of those unique maps in that giants and capped portals don't mean victory, because there are just so many chokepoints. On that map, Giants should be used to supplament your assaults, unlike maps like Cataract, where it's better to use them as the actual assault.
[quote who="tassox33" reply="12" id="2181113"]I think i have played enough to know who is OP, and Erebus would be the only one. Bite does crazy dmg and gives all that dmg back in health, low mana cost, slow, and armor reduction.. This kinda fucks every demigod that doesnt have a +1000 armor peice and 1.0 more runspeed then erebus.[/quote] I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this post.
For number one, I always wait until the skills I want are available. I end up with extra skill points, but it means I can finish my build faster, and be deadlier that much faster. It's worth the wait, because you can save your points for the skills that matter most, instead of spending them on random skills for the sake of using your skill points when you get them.
Basic stratagy that I always inform my teammates of on Cataract is to destroy the towers leading up to the enemy portals as soon as they're capable to, and then just sit back and get the warscore up. As soon as giants are unlocked, go capping those portals. If the opponents try to lock the flags, then you just wait it out. If they keep locking them as soon as they unlock, they're probably concentrating all their forces on that one portal. Warp over to the other side, cap and lock that, and th
Considering Regulus is probably the best Demigod killer in the game, I don't think he's underpowered at all.
I'd love to tell you, but I've lost all my favour, and aren't getting any either.
I dunno... here's an idea from me... Name: Soul Canonneer Type of Demigod: General Premise: A demigod who does damage and uses abilities by sacrificing absorbing and sacrificing the souls of his own minions. Relies on store bought minions over summoning his own. Therefore, having to rely heavely on mana to use his skills, as well as having long cooldown times to worry about once he's used them all. Skill 1: Absorb soul : S
Depends on the map a lot too. In Cataract, it's very easy to make this a game ender, but on maps like Prison, it's very hard to keep those flags under control, since it's so easy to move between them.
Sedna's Heal, Oak's shield, and QoT's shield are all tools that when used properly(not to hard to do this one), will effectivly destroy Regulus. And all of them can be cast on targets that are not the caster. You can't look at the pure damage output of one skill when considering balancing it. UB can follow up a vomit with a grasp, doing 2k damage, stealing 664, and stunning for 2 seconds. Erebus has no safe followups other then stun(bats is better saved as a retreat or chase move).</p
I've come back on games that the enemy got 22 kills, and my entire team only got 6(all 6 by me). Just keep the flags capped, build up your warscore, get giants, capture enemy portals, game over.
I max out bite, stun, and batswarm, but also take idols. They're worth the investment at level 4, great addition to his survivability and damage.
Nerfing bite to a 12 second recast would kill Erebus. No, it's not the strongest move in the game. Especially considering that Erebus' best counters all have ways of outhealing and outdamaging it.

That advice is dire considering that Pantheon pairs you up with random people who most of the time have no interest in working with you.

Well, I go mid way with assassin and general styles. Basicly, assassin with idol minions. Mooks really help your DPS and survivability, but it's a pretty big investment that only really pays off mid-to-late game, when you can get the level 4 minions, and can leave you fairly weak early off--the time where Erebus already has it hardest. Basicly, playing like an assassin will get you out the gate faster, but playing like a general or a hybrid will finish stronger. It's not always the case, but
You have allies. Work with them. Regulus is the best killer in the game when he has some form of support. All the overpowered DGs aren't overpowered when you realize you can't just rush in blind and expect to win.
Hippy succubus?
QoT isn't a succubus. Succubi don't just lure men with their sex appeal, they actually drew the life of men though sex. Incubus is similar, but male. She's more of a rogue fairy.
I prefer the term 'mook,' but then again, that's more general.
[quote who="Protocept00" reply="5" id="2172720"] Guildford- In every match I've played either against Rook, or as him... He just seems to die very easily mainly because of his size I think. He's very easy to hit. You're right though, maybe I just haven't fought a skilled Rook player yet. Then again I'm usually Regulus so I have no reason to be anywhere near Rook anyways, heh. What I ment by DG having a fast EXP rate, was that he has such extremely effective AOE attacks that can wip
In terms of fluff, the only characters who could be considered actually EVIL are QoT and UB. Erebus is simply misunderstood and in a pretty bad situation(unable to control his hunger), and Torch Bearer's just got a big chip on his shoulder after... well... yeah, you'd be pissed too. UB doesn't really have a will of its own, but has no problem committing genocide, and QoT... you get it.
For single player, infinite pauses should be made default.
[quote quoting="post"] TB himself is not overpowered, but a few of his abilities do strike me as just a bit too powerful... not by much, but enough that he does have a slightly faster experience rate, combined with some extremely powerful attacks for pulverizing other Demigods.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]I haven't had a problem with UB so far. Spit is powerful, yes, but the rest of his moves are not nearly as good. I think Stardock should buff some of his other moves and nerf spit just a
Demigod COULD work on consoles, it certainly doesn't involve as much heavy micro and macro management as other RTS, however, it would be incredibly forced and hard to work with. The game would have to be much slower to compensate for the lack of precision and speed of a mouse and keyboard... It would work, it would just suck.
