Do you guys ever research squad? Summons are really weak; ATK of squad with mace is like 40+, and with better weapons it is over 100+. And this is for 4 men squad number. There is no way summon can compete with any well-made non-summon unit.

Same for me as well.
I think this is bugged. Any of these levelmilestone do not work at all. By looking files, it seems Stardock just abandoned this thing, thus making some serious balance problems.
ALL summons are wayyy too weak anwyways....
To be honest, magic in general is just way too weak to be bothered in the first place (except in very early stage of the game), summoning spells in general are quite useless at the time your city hit level 3 and began to make squads. I already completely skip the magic part in this game (and very successful). With further nerfs, it is just as well as eliminating magic completely and removing subtitle "War of Magic" from the game. :P
That picture above.... unless they are really low-end troops (i.e no such fancy full armour troops), unkeep cost of such side of troops will exceed 50+.
[quote who="James009D" reply="121" id="2762136"] Quoting wnmnkh, reply 116... At least for me, initial release of Elemental was very solid. Maybe crashed after 30 min or so, which is perfectly acceptable compared to other lame releases from those so called AAA titles. And after day 0 patch, I heve not experienced a single crash yet. You just can't blame Stardock because they don't have enough money to bribe many review sites to create hype. I think you are
[quote who="toyboyrobot" reply="120" id="2762083"] Quoting wnmnkh, reply 116 Go ahead and play BFBC2 and tell me if it is *sigh* playable..... ..... You just can't blame Stardock because they don't have enough money to bribe many review sites to create hype. BFBC2 is playable now, but true, when it came out the crappy server browser didn't work properly, most of the rest of the game worked fine for me. one need a decent machine to play it though. <br
[quote who="toyboyrobot" reply="111" id="2761462"] Both points are wrong. This is just ridiculous (or are you just ironic?). no more text here.[/quote] Go ahead and play BFBC2 and tell me if it is *sigh* playable. How about ACII and SH5 from Ubisoft? Modern warfare 2? how about very recent offering from Team 17 "Worms Reloaded"?, I still can't play because of some files/programs missing.
If you guys think Stardock deserves such criticism compared to other recent releases, either 1.) You have not played any of so called 'AAA' titles from major publishers. 2.) Not even bought/played game, just based on so called 'reviews'. elemental is the most bug-free game I've ever played since 2006.
Same here, the bug makes this game unplayable...
It is not a opinion. If you have problem going offline mode with exception of 3rd party drm'd games in Steam, you should put support ticket and get proper response from them.
I have zero problem playing Steamwork games in offline mode. None of us shouldn't.
With RUSE not using lame online DRM, this is anohter good news for PC gamers.
What's this Multiplayer patch? Can we get some kind of change log?
[quote who="viras09" reply="5" id="2396579"]I hope people start realize that DG is more fun than HoN. I think many ppl feel the need to try it out but eventually they will get tired of it. [/quote] Did you ever try HoN? Most of avid demigod players I know had been moved to HoN, and none of them (including me) is willing to go back to Demigod.
Rofl calling Rob noob.... have you guys ever actually played with/against Rob? If you have played with/against him you won't say such thing.... And rofl at ladder system completely broken. I am still on top 100 and I have not played this game for three weeks now...

At least Foreshadowed's actual game skills are quite good. Too bad himself as human being does not match his skills.
[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="22" id="2306094"] Just say both ESL and GR tournaments do not allow doubles. So there is something good consensus why doubles are broken like hell (which they are.) "Its what other people do so it must be right." What a terrible argument. [/quote] Well, those "other people" are the ones who play this game very seriously, and most (if not all) of them are literally pros and know what's going on this game. <p
This game is incredibly buggy and they have not fixed targeting error, yet.
[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="1" id="2304669"] Are they useless? Yes. [/quote] No they are not. You gonna need them for 1v1 dual battle. And in late game with plenty of mana, minion-related stacking items and passive abilities, they are not that bad. But, again general idols are much better than yeties; you need get them first, then get yeties in very last order.
[quote who="bmg50barrett" reply="19" id="2305731"] Advocates of "doubles are bad" need to throw out some well founded, well backed up arguments now, other than "omg, 1500 damage is a lot". People have shown over and over that there are many uilds and strategies that could be used to possibly counter this. No one has brought forth a truly solid reason why doubles should be BANNED AS PART OF THE STANDARDIZED RULES. If you want to use doubles or not in custom games, that is beside the
Everyone must read this.
[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="22" id="2299818"] So pushing with 2 Rooks is lame, and pushing with 2 Sednas is lame, but pushing with 1 of each is ok? BS. I could come up with equally arbitrary reasons why any combination of DGs is "lame" for one reason or another (too much damage! too many stuns! too much burst! too much defense! boring to use! boring to play against!). Conclusion: there is no "lame." There is only effective and ineffecti
