[quote quoting="post"]3. Demigods do not use minions when fleeing, may summon minions in combat.[/quote] Huh? Like, do the minions magically stop attacking when the DG is moving in an opposite direction of the enemy? What if you send your minions to fight and cover for you?

Reply to HUGE DESIGN FLAW: The loosing side has nothing to do! in Demigod Demigod Forums

Some characters lend themself better for comebacks than others (Oak being one of them), simply because endgame > early game for them. I think the biggest flaw in Demigod is that there's very little room for cutting corners. The three biggest sources of progress are killing creeps, other DG's and taking flags. If a team gets behind, it can somethimes be very hard to pull some stunt to get back into the match (for example, by completely abondon flags and go for creep etc.) since they

btw, did I mention that....wait for it.... Desynch has been DETECTED!!!! Seriously, why do I have to read an error message once every 3 seconds telling me that desynch has been detected? And why do I need to click OK to make it go away every time when desynch will still be detected 3 seconds later while the game is still playable even though desynch has been detected and will continue to be detected? And btw, did anyone know that if Oak is in the middle

Reply to I hate Oak in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Playing Oak takes a lot of ego. Don't be afraid to back off from anything remotely dangerous, and run to your towers whenever you have to. Just make sure the game isn't over until you reach lv15+, which is when you start being able to hold off 2 DGs by yourself if you have the right gear. The x-axis is the amount of time you spend alive, and the y-axis is the amount of ownage you deal out. It starts off at negative since he sucks so much early game. <img src="ht

Reply to Can we please fix the minion exploit in Demigod Demigod Forums

Having 3+ minions of the same type needs to go, but keeping them after selling the idol is a pretty valid strat in my opinion, even though it only matters in the early game.

[quote quoting="post"]The problem was not the # of sockets but the precise timing needed in handing off the sockets. We didn’t realize until 2 weeks in that the scalability problem in Demigod’s MP matchmaking was due to the third party network library we used having up to 30 to 40 second delays once there were thousands of players on. During the beta, users ran into this problem too and the solution was to add more servers and increase the timing threshold from <1 second

By the time you have connected to everyone, the game will already be over unless it's a really early quit.

Reply to how does Lord get more than 2 high presists or bishops? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Summons should stay when sold, but go away if a same-type idol is used. Keeping your sold summons is a very nice high-risk high-reward strategy to employ early on, with the risk of getting demiowned and set back 5 minutes if you let them stray too far out for a second.

Reply to Yet Another Imbalance Post. But Maybe Slightly More Interesting Than Usual? in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"]I would think that a balanced game would "punish" (so to speak) such a character. Ease of use should correlate with difficulty in winning. But that does not seem to be the case.[/quote] If this were true, every skilled player who wanted to win would eventually have to pick Oak once they reached a certain level of skill and their opponents started doing the same. It should, however, be true that varied and difficult characters should have more op

Reply to Killing a Demigod nets too much gold in Demigod Demigod Forums

Fact is, the early game is very important in any resource-based competition (be it Starcraft or whatever), and as soon as one team gets the ball rolling, it will work in their favour. Trying to balance the game with regards to unskilled players (playing with skilled ones) or AI is pretty dumb, since it's not what the game should be about, or at least nothing that can be taken into consideration without affecting legit same-level play. Those ragequitters should drop the notion that the
