So is it normal that Demigod prompts me to download the update via Impulse, while Impulse then shows no update being present and waiting?

Reply to Ways for Stardock to express "displseasure" with Gamestop without a legal battle in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote who="Daikaze" reply="5" id="2135923"]I think all of those ideas are terrible. None of these ideas would "punish" Gamestop; These ideas would all punish Stardock/GPG, which is the total opposite of the desired outcome.[/quote] It works the other way around as well. Stardock are a source of income for Gamestop - and Gamestop screwing over Stardock lowers Stardocks profits. That's a pretty clear cut - you mess with us, we mess with you case.

[quote]The whole generals idea of them being "RTS'ish" failed, not because Stardock didnt listen to us properly, but because it was just a very impratical idea at heart. It was never going to work, and I dont think it would have been possible to implement it well into the game.[/quote] "It can't be done" is an excuse for "we couldn't do it". Especially since it has been done before.

I don't see why you're so outraged about this - a bandwidth cap with extra charge per byte over the limit is standard operating procedure in many countries.

Reply to 2D Space Fleet Combat in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

The Starfleet Command series, specifically, the second of the series, are some of the best (IMO, the best) 2-axis space combat games. If you see them in a bargain bin, they're worth a try at the least.

[quote who="Tyo" reply="17" id="2129383"]Snap. There's one big change that did not get into that change list- Minions now deal more damage.[/quote] I hope that includes general specific minions, and you fixed the minion pathing/order ignoring issue. Otherwise, you've just made Generals even more generic and Assassin-like.

[quote who="PossiblyImpossible" reply="2" id="2122440"]The problem with targeting casual gamers is that by definition they don't stay with games for very long. You can count on casuals to go out and buy a lot of games over the course of each year, but they'll only spend enough time with each game to have some fun a few hours a week and then eventually move on to the next thing that sounds interesting. "Hardcore" players might make up a smaller portion of the playerbase, but t

It should be made more universal - make it a building repair and siege tool in addition to the heal/heal other and damage functions. That'd make it live up to its name.

[quote]With a minimap, you get both information simultaneously.[/quote] You don't actually - a minimap shows "here be enemies". An almost meaningless piece of information, especially in a game of fewer units. What zoom-out gives you is "here be enemies - of these types". It's far more useful to know that the enemy is doing a three pronged attack with only minotaurs, than it is to see 3 blobs of red move in on your minimap. It is also not faster to move the camera via minimap -

Reply to Demigod Diary #4: A Different Take on RTS in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

BG was real time....with a pause option, which again, is not something that's specific to any genre (most RTS have a pause option as well) Also, RPG's on electronic mediums have not been about a story or plot for a long time.

Reply to Demigod Diary #4: A Different Take on RTS in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Genre wise it's almost entirely an RPG - top-down view with point and click do not an RTS make. Baldurs Gate would be one of the best examples of that.

Which is something only known to people who've already paid for it (are in the beta). The official stance and PR wording is still "Assassins are RPG, Generals are RTS".
