[quote who="twifightDG" reply="19" id="2314894"] I think these two are great ideas. I do fear a balance issue with the first though, if a general stacks up max minions, and then also mind controls a wave of creeps, they might be unstoppable, especially with priests in the wave. [/quote] I don't think they would be unstoppable. Granted, they will be very strong and require some thinking on the attacker's part. But I am guessing that an Ice TB will make short work of any

If I sold you accounting software that didn't let you do accounting, but finally got it working 3 months later (with still some bugs), would you be praising me?

Nope, I think you got what I was trying to say. It's all a matter of taste actually. I see an opportunity for diversity and strategy, you see an unnecesary complication. And we are both right. It can be both those things. The best way to settle this would be to have that option in the lobby. Classic citadel upgrade tree, or advanced, with banking. Or if this is too complicated, we could still go with your ideea ( I especially liked that "angel healing when dead" thing you came up with ) plus

[quote who="gkrit" reply="11" id="2313516"]i like all these ideas ... but it could get a lil overwhelming. I think to keep it simple but on the same line, would be just to increase how many, of each grunt, that will come out of the portal, Along with some specific grunt buffs. Adding different types of minions would get a lil too confusing i think. Suggestion: Upgrades Minotaur I - adds 1 more to each wave. Minotaur II - increase max health by 75.<b

[quote who="DiceAreEvil" reply="20" id="2312911"] Rewarding based on a percentage of health that was taken probably won't work because there are two many factors to calculate that.

What % would you get when he finally dies?[/quote] Well I think that he should get more money. Not 15.000, that is just way too much. But

[quote who="TheScottishAlien" reply="8" id="2313082"]an idea would be to buy "points" and say each point costs 1800 gold, then each unit upgrade woudl cost X amount of points (eg. minion I and II would be 1 point each, but III would be 2 points and IV would be 3 points) this way rather than getting cold cash u just get the point back. not sure how a deminishing return woudl work for this... maybe have a 50% reduction so u have to give up 2 points in order to only get one back

Look, frogboy, I am not saying that DG is the best game I've ever bought -however-, I just can't get enough of it, like I am addicted or something ( which is not good since I have some exams, but whatever ). I just wanted to say that you guys have done a brilliant job so far. I see that people keep comparing it with DoTA. I have only played DoTA a couple of times and I think DG is light-years ahead. Just my opinion. Also, I know what it's like putting your heart and soul into somethin

I'm guessing that Dariot TB was fire-based? Fire TBs are usually the ones who get their asses kicked while soloing. Hibrids are the best way to go, I think. On topic : The reason you lost is this: You were good players that played badly in the beggining, whilst they were bad players that played good in the beggining. By the end, you decided to wake up and develop some strategy, and then you started playing well. Good players playing well vs Bad players playing well........good

Or it could be something as simple as : Get as much gold as the damage you did. Like if you took 600 HP from a DG, you get 600 gold ( regardless of who did the killing blow ). Or, if this sounds too much, you get 300 ( half ) or 150 (quarter).

[quote who="DoctorAwesome" reply="8" id="2310618"] I suppose I can concede that it can be useful if you're already losing, but the fact is, if you're playing as well as you can, your goal should be to never die at all, not be hurt as little as possible when you do. Money spent mitigating the damage caused by dying could be better spent making you less likely to die--this pushes your time alive to its absolute maximum, while also prevents the enemy from gaining money or experie

I love the ideea. A pretty inventive way to control your minions and some interesting powers. Sounds like an early tower killer to me, sort of like a rook. Barrage and ramming speed will probably make an early breach in the enemies towers if left unchecked. I just hope those are not too powerfull.

Seriously, man, where do you come up with this stuff? It's friggin genius!!! Back on topic: I would love to see this implemented. It would add more strategy. Also, I think that minion upgrades should also be able to "sell" (for less than the original price, of course) so that you can dinamically change your creep wave. If they could not be selled, then a team that has invested in one combination will get their asses handed to them by the opposing team who got the counter parts

Thank you for the input. You are right Avatar of Destruction needs a cast time so that you don't activate it by mistake so I made the modifications. However, i'm not sure about changing stun circle just yet...maybe I'll make the stun time a bit shorter. Yes, it does seem like erebus mass charm, but erebus has an area of effect. Stun circle strikes only the adjacent enemies, as in only the ones that are physically hitting him with a melee weapon.I designed that power ( along with other
