Reply to No-Scope: Regulus Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The fact that you assume all 6 mines will hit the enemy DG is, frankly, laughable. Against a mine DG, any player worth their salt will walk a priest in ahead of time and clear out the mines, or drop totems to reveal the mines just to make sure. The only reason you don't see more people doing this is because no one with any brains is ever playing a regulus. Mines in a competetive game work *only* when you throw them directly on top of the enemy DG. Note: this i

Reply to Janook's Rook Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I get the 4th level of tower simply for the price reduction. With the staff of renewal, it's pretty huge. My main concern with your build is just how exposed you are early. Any rook needs good teammates ready to tele over to survive, but I'm not sure yours can do the lane domination that an early rook needs to supply.

I've never seen Orb of Defiance used. It's simply not worth the gold. 4k gold is an INSANE amount.

Reply to Minion counters. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Ooze UB is our general counter to minions. Sedna against a minion player, simply run away. Ice TB is the best, but any competent erebus playing against a TB will go assasin and own his ass. Oak does pretty decent with Surge later on, and his divine justice can keep him in it long enough.

I'd hope he doesn't have any patients. I can just see him in surgery, saying "screw this, it's not going well" and just leaving the dude on the table, bleeding out.

He's infamous for raging.

Reply to No-Scope: Regulus Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The only reg I've ever found worth playing with, at all, uses a DPS build and never gets snipe. Not that I agree with him not getting 1 level of snipe, but he gets the job done. A sniping/mines reg just can't cut it in the second half of any close cataract game - no flag control at all.

As if a game with an AI isn't over. Don't even pretend you didn;t "win" what you yourself called a "pretty even" game because of the connectivity bug, and then went and screamed bloody murder because your "win" didn't show up. Are you saying that the conenctivity bug was caused by a rage quit? Because that makes NO SENSE at all. Thats how you know when it's an actual DC and not a RQ. Use some comming bloody sense, moronic rank whore.

Reply to Socialist Hacker? in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

Frankly, if a game is even and the connectivity bug happens, people should SUPPORT desycning it, unless they are such rank whores they want to win by any means possible, including what is essentially exploiting game bugs. Morpheas, I dub thee a rank whore.

Reply to Socialist Hacker? in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

I'm not sure you can accuse him of "winning too much" considering the vast amounts of games he plays with me, tshughes, and futileemotion. All of us have FAR better win/loss records then Ryan. Are we therefore suddenly suspicious and possible cheaters?

Reply to Socialist Hacker? in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

And if you want to say that he did something wrong because it affected the rankings (after one of your bugs gave a team a win), when are you even going to address the "incomplete" games thing? I'm bloody sick of having someone on the other team drop and the game becomes an incomplete or never shows, and taking a loss every time someone on MY team drops. I've got something like two legit losses in my last 100 games, and about 15 DC losses, and then about 20 wins that don't show due

Reply to Socialist Hacker? in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

And lets assume he *did* desync that game - After another bug gave his team an automatic loss. The connectivity bug is vicious. So he, in one game, said he wanted to see if he knew how to use it, after the game had *already ended* due to another glitch? (And if you don't think the game was already over, any time you get an AI and you WEREN'T walking over the, it's over. If you WERE walking all over them, it's an even game). It's not like he's actually using that

Reply to Socialist Hacker? in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

I've played a metric crapton of games with SocialistRyan, and never seen it desync. He's got 138 losses, for crying out loud - and he plays most of his games with tshughes, futileemotion, and me - all of whome have FAR higher win ratios then he does. If he was desyncing, you'd think he'd do it here: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/1018076/player/64310/ He didn't desyn

Reply to Unusual, but hilarious, tactics to spice up your DG game... in Demigod Multiplayer Demigod Forums

My premade has done many 4v4 games on Levi where we all get heavens wrath. It's hilarious when people complain about it - they don't seem to understand that we are giving them a FAR better chance of winning then they would have otherwise, if we just went BoF and with some generals for monks. But it's soooo much fun :P

Reply to Oak Replays in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I've got a replay earlier in this thread where I kill Pacov twice and KALel once in the first 4 minutes of a game. Obviously, I shouldn't have been able to get either that early with Oak - but the fact is, with Shield, I at most would have gotten one of those kills. Playing with smart and good teammates, the Penitence just does so much more in any 2v2.

Reply to Oak Replays in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Obviously a shield oak will beat the penitence oak at level 1 in a 1v1. That, however, isn't the game we are playing. It's not "getting away" with anything - you are level 2 long before you ever need shield.

Reply to Pacov's Game Replays in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'm hoping to get a bit of gaming in with tshughes tonight, depending on the status of this paper that is due at 8 AM. 1.5 of 6 pages written, 13 hours to go. Given my normal track record of a page an hour for a very good paper, I have some hope!

Reply to Oak Replays in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I'll also note here that damage taken by an oak is worth less then damage given. Your monks heal a sizable percentage of the damage taken, but their heals certainly don't add to damage given - although they deal damage directly either way, of course. This matters more against the stated BoF UB then it does against another general, of course.

Reply to Pacov's Game Replays in Demigod Demigod Forums

Just for fun, a very short replay of Pacov/Kalel/Rawr vs Me/tshughes/and a semi-random third. It's also an example of why this ranking system frustrates me so - when we get a drop, it's a loss. When other people in the top 20 play us and get a drop, it's a incomplete or the game just dissapears. http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/replays.php?game=5

Reply to Oak Replays in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Here is an upload showing why an Oak should get Penitence first. It only lasts 5 minutes or so until I drop, but I think it demonstrates my point clearly - get Penitence in case your opponent screws up, not shield in case you do. And note that the opponents are currently ranked in the top 20 - including an absolutely emberassing double smite on Kalel (Rank 2) and Pacov (Rank 18).

Reply to Oak Replays in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I always get Penitence first. The snare aspect of it is very handy, it does a small but respectable amount of damage, and it's handy if someone trys to sneak in a full pot. But mostly, you don't need shield for anything - the only time you need that 3 second shield is if someone really screws up. That penitence, however, you can use if your OPPONENT screws up. And frankly, the latter is a lot more common.
