Are you sure about this? You can't buy items with your sovereign, trade them to your peasant and equip them from the peasant?

Archers in War of Magic Elemental Forums

So, I'm trying to get my Sovereign and champions to be entirely archery based. I've equipped them all with the Cedar Longbow (which I believe is the highest level bow) but is that all I can do, bar raising their strength on levelling up, to increase their attack because, if so, archery seems a little underwhelming for signature characters in this game; whilst a normal soldier archer can be trained to Shock Troop level and made in a raid group to raise attack, there doesn't seem to be anything

[quote who="CreeDakota" reply="2" id="2754985"]Since this is purely a style and roleplay consideration I find it rather flawed that it tied to the same points used in faction design as true gamepaly advantages. That is true right, Egalitarian factions don't get extra population to recruit into soliders right? Just give all factions a toggle, Patriarchal, Matriarchal, or Egalitarian.[/quote] Or, if they want to make the racial traits have some tangible e

Reply to Pantheon - Time between tournaments in Demigod Demigod Forums

Yeah I really don't understand why the pantheon requires a wait between finishes. What's the point? Seriously, how does this benefit anyone, player or company? Why can't they just start instantly and, on the off-chance that someone would prefer to know how the last one ended rather than actually play in the tourney themselves, the player is free to go check the stats on the site.

Good work figuring this stuff out. I'm really impressed with this company since this is the kind of dev-player correspondance I'd expect from a subscription MMO.

Reply to Official Stats are Worthless- Get Over It in Demigod Demigod Forums

WickedBear, it's just a simple fact of the matter that playing with your friend will make you likelier to succeed than playing with a fully random team. It won't mean you'll always win, but having a friend who knows what you do well and what you do poorly and (due to experience (if they're not just a godawful gamer)) how to back you up most effectively will put you leagues ahead of a genuine pick up group. Of course it's still totally necessary to communicate and strategise with the o

Avoid/Prefer Player in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Doing my daily rounds of the Pantheon I came across two distinctly different matches. In the first, a small map with a fortification destruction gametype, my ally continuously attempted to engage enemy demigods, refusing to help destroy any enemy forts or protect our own all the while persisting in the claim that destroying enemy forts wouldn't help us win a fort game. After roughly twenty minutes the fight was clearly going nowhere as I alone couldn't take down the forts and therefor

I updated it through the Impulse client (at least, as far as I can tell!) and when I go into the game and use shift+tab to bring up the impulse client the update option is greyed out, I presume this means it's updated?

Reply to the OP in Demigod Demigod Forums

Well I've only been playing since Sunday so don't take me too seriously. So far I find the good guys woefully underpowered compared to the darkside. Sedna is a very pleasant addition to the goody two-shoes, but Erebus, Unclean Beast AND QoT all being Dark is a little too much to bear. I am primarily a dark player and QoT and Erebus are my favorite characters. I find bite sickeningly overpowered. It needs at least a 25% reduction to its heal. But if you just reduce th

Mulitplayer is woefully empty in Demigod Demigod Forums

Hey guys! I recently purchased Demigod and hit up multiplayer but there's no-one online! I found six matches, most of which were in a foreign language. Is this normal? Do I need to patch the game or something? I'd heard that pirates were running rampant all over multiplayer and that, because of this, there were loads of people to play with. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I bought this game specifically to legitimise playing it online.

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="5" id="2180236"] That was your claim. You even put an 'End of Story' at the end of it. The fact is, you don't pirate games because you're a student with almost no money (some people might but not you). You pirate games because you are trying to be prudent with your money and you want to make sure that you are getting a quality game for the money you spend. Your 'pirate because of no money' argument is baseless because you obviously have SOME money to put down

[quote who="Renevent" reply="4" id="2180228"] Actually, you are the one without any real justifications on why what you do is not wrong. Stealing is wrong because if everyone stole games, the commercial game market would crumble. If everyone just stole everything our entire economy would crumble and our society would fall apart. These games are created on the principal that if a person(s) invest their time and money they will receive compensation for their effort.&

Point is, you can't hide behind the 'poor student' argument and then use the majority of your post to defend the 'try before you buy' argument. Makes for bad reasoning because you can obviously afford to buy at some point. Just trying to help you form your arguments better is all. I understand you're poor. Unfortunately, being poor doesn't justify piracy of software. The 'try before you buy' has a little mo

You believe you are correct in your presumption that "stealing is stealing: it is always wrong". Philosophers call this Deontological ethics. It is widely renowned as simply backwards and inflexible, unable to deal differing scenarios from an enlightened view. Without the God theory to back it up it just folds.
