[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="32" id="3037298"]The easiest way (for you) with the least amount of modding required is to make a mod folder for your mini-mod. Then rename his textures to match the current Sins texture names. These would go in your mini-mods Textures folder.[/quote] Excellent, that worked great. Thanks!

How would I use these textures in regular diplomacy? I'm not a modder, but these textures look fantastic and I'd love to use them.

[quote who="ViViDGear" reply="14" id="2317720"]Three enemy players with sim speed of 1 - 2. I played 15 minutes or so and it got even worse. We seemed to lose anyway so I minimized Demigod and started playing WoW. Because demigod needs large ressouces for an strategy game my pc went quite slow and after some minutes I was droped. In my case it was not intentional but I still would do it again (playing WoW in a horrible game). So perhaps h

Could work, but I imagine games would last very long if the teams are evenly matched (or even if they're not). Whats the last part of your post? Are those suggestions to Stardock/GPG, or what?

Reply to Small feature request in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Maybe, but most of the maps are small enough and the camera is usually zoomed out enough that I've never had any problem figuring out where I am in a game. Maybe you just need to play a bit more. What I'd like to see is the ability to right-click on the minimap and move your demigod to that location. As it is, the minimap is a non-interactive layer, so clicking on it instead interacts with whatever object in the 3D world is behind the minimap.

Reply to Pick a Side: The Forum Game in Everything Else Sins Forums

Asking FPS vs. RTS in a message board for an RTS will probably give you a skewed result; guess which side it'll be skewed towards? Anyway, I prefer FPS. Better storylines, more character interaction and development, and generally more vibrant worlds. While there are a few exceptions (such as World in Conflict), FPSs generally are more realistic and more story-based. Mind you, I'm not talking about generic games like (bracing for flame) Halo 3 or most COD games. I'm talking about games

I know this isn't the exact same thing, but, to dumb it down a bit, it's essentially Left 4 Dead in RPG form and with two teams? Sounds good to me. Co-op FTW (even though it's kind of competitive co-op).

Reply to The Escapist Review of Demigod in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I'm glad it wasn't Zero Punctuation. I've seen some of his reviews, and even though I didn't really like those games, he seemed to be criticizing them for all the wrong reasons. I know it's mostly supposed to be funny, but still. Anyway, it's nice to see Demigod get good reviews after its rather shaky beginning.

Reply to abilities not working in Demigod Demigod Forums

How does writing "k thx bye!!!" "make sure [the very big actual problem] was going to be addressed"? Anyway, you'll have to be more specific. Can you not select the abilities in the first place; or does the user interface reflect that they were selected, but nothing happens? Also, if you're going to say "k thx bye", you should do it the proper way, which is "kthxbai".

Reply to Demigod would have been better on 360 in Demigod Demigod Forums

I can't believe this thread exists. First of all, connection problems probably wouldn't be any better as the game would likely still use P2P. Also, controls would be terrible. As a previous post said, how would you deal with panning across the map, selecting skills to learn, or buying items/citadel upgrades? Not to mention casting spells or even just attacking/moving. Sure, it could work like other RTS games where there's a cursor in the center of the screen, but the game is too fast-paced fo

Reply to Stop Command? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Huh? We can control our "guy" just fine. This is just a matter of being able to press a single button and stopping a Demigod from moving into enemy territory or casting a spell after a target has left the AoE. As it is, we have to tell it to move somewhere else, which can be awkward and annoying. Asking for a (very) small feature that every other RTS/RPG has hardly means we can't play the game correctly.

Reply to Are connection attemps sequential? in Demigod Demigod Forums

No offense, but I'm sure Stardock/GPG would've thought of that. There's probably a reason it's sequential (if it is). Of course, I could be wrong, and that could be one of the things they're planning on fixing. I try to pay attention in the daily status updates, but there's so much they're attempting to fix and it's hard to keep track.

Reply to Enemy AI purposfully smarter than allied AI? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I've noticed this, too. I think it probably has to do with the unpredictability of the human player. With the enemy all-AI team, the bots can "communicate" and execute tactics with each other. The allied AI could very well be trying to do the same thing, but the human player could make it unnoticeable/impossible. Of course, it could just be done on purpose to make the tournament more challenging.
