Reply to Demigod: So much for piracy in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

I'm not saying piracy is right, but it's not theft... that's why it's not called theft. It's a very different and much more complicated issue.

Reply to Create a Demigod in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Well it's kinda pointless without the abilities... and with the abilities, it's clearly broken. Also, any such generation system would have to limit you to veeery boring abilities with only a few, repetitive animations and effects.

Reply to finger of god? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah that's the problem really, it blasts creep waves more often then demigods as far as I can see, and by the time you buy a finger of god you'd probably prefer getting some xp/gold for killing them.

Reply to Unclean Beast - nightmare in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I like Ooze, but only once I hit the higher levels. The damage/drain ratio isn't good until you put a few points into ooze, and by the laterish game 140 d/s isn't really the greatest anyway. However, by the time I can shrug off 50 dps, the -40% attack speed aura is sweet. That easily negates an artifact from every enemy in the vacinity...

Reply to Demigod: Dalek Squad (Assasin) in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I have a good skill called Exterminate (of course they'd say it when it's activated) they have to reapply every five seconds. :P And of course this wouldn't make it to the game, I just thought it'd be fun. XD Maybe a mod if we can eventually do that... or just give the developers the idea for a group-controlled assasin.

Demigod: Dalek Squad (Assasin) in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

An ancient galactic menace, the Dalek are uninterested in this petty battle for supremacy, when it is obvious that Daleks are already supream. They mearly sent a single squad to wipe out all life in this puny planet. Strengths : High base stats, ranged attacks. Weaknesses : Slow, taking damage reduces overall dps. <span style="text-d

Reply to Erebus balance discussion in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think if Erebus needs a nerf, it's not the damage of bite, but the fact that it rapes armor. I think the fact it does damage, heals you, and makes the enemy take more damage for a while is what makes it overpowered. Without that Erebus would only have his Vamp Aura to passively boost his auto-attack, which is key in the late-late game. I think Erebus is also a bit weak early game, before you can build up skills pretty much everyone else can take a low-stat melee fighter, so wi

Map object idea: Neutral creep spawns in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

I haven't played warcraft 3, but one description sounds interesting and I think it could be quite interesting in at least some maps in Demigod. What if there where some neutral creep zones around the middle? Not attached to flags, not moving anywhere (except maybe in a small fixed pattern), just sitting around to harvest for xp/gold. Unlike creep waves they could be stronger straight out, so fighting them would leave you more open to being attacked by the other team, but worth either more xp

Reply to Dear move speed lovers: Swift Anklet is not always the best in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I think they're both some of the best items to get, which one to use depends on the demigod you choose and what map you're playing. In a small map, not much reason to tele; in a huge map, it really saves you some time. Quick melee characters (Erebus, UB) are massively helped in combat by the speed boost, supportive/defensive characters (Rook, Sedna, QoT) need it much less.

Reply to finger of god? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Well Trebuchets are actually useful on some levels, for example in the 2v2 map, buying trebuchets means they'll auto-clear the six nearest enemy defences, and shoot at enemies before they even get into the midpoint. Most players are smart enough not to chase someone into light tower range, but it's a lot easier to get them to chace you into trebuchet range. On the flipside, the Finger of God doesn't seem too useful, unless it shoots /way/ more often than it seems to. Th

Reply to Hybrid-TB useless? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Rain of Ice takes care of creeps just as well, doesn't put you at risk, and reduces your enemy's attack by a large chunk. I don't see the point of putting skill points into either Flame Nova or Circle of Fire when Ice Rain works just as well against creeps, better against demis, and plays nice with Icy Grasp for bonus damage.

Reply to Hybrid-TB useless? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I'm not really a "pro" player, but in my opinion, out of TB's 6 spells, fireball is the best, but the other two fire spells are the worst. So, when I play TB, I go with fireball and then all the rest of the ice stuff. Fireball is, of course, tons of damage. The ice circle nukes creeps and debuffs demis. Ice nova is the best stun, and stuns are useful for a number of reasons. Ice Grasp honestly isn't my favorite spell, but it's versitile and maxing it lets you buff it and fireball, whi

Ah, weird that they stopped getting killed then... I guess my opponents must have upgraded their defence right about when I upgraded the attack. Thanks for setting me straight~

UB- Post Mortem -> Plague in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Now, i could be wrong, but when I was playing as UB, I noticed that after I upgraded Post Mortem to Plague, the creeps I attacked stopped exploding. Assuming that I'm correct that choosing Plague wipes out the prior Post Mortem, is it worth upgrading? 300-450 damage over 30 seconds lategame is almost nothing, and won't wipe a wave of creeps on it's own. Post Mortem, on the other hand, seems to one-hit creeps caught in the explosion, so UB can wipe a wave of creeps just by killing 1-2 in the r

While I have been frustrated in the past with buying games that wheren't finished (would you want to buy a steak dinner that came sans-steak, with a promise that steak would be sent to you within the next few weeks), this really isn't as bad as it could be. When UT3 came out, more things didn't work than did. :/ Really, really basic things... and they never fixed things that UT2004 contained, let alone several big things they promised. <span sty

Across a distant land, a powerful clergy formed. Not so much forming around any one diety or ideal, this group preached general tolerance and belief in the goodness of all, while quietly amassing power for themselves and taking over larger and larger areas. Unlike most, they could never produce their divinities, but could provide increasingly powerful demonstrations of miracles as the years went by, powers they said where granted by their nebu

A Deadly Secret makes it so you can't have that planet (since it's got a ton of negative planet health); I once left four colony ships around it just for fun, you get messages about it being colonized but I guess it dies too fast for you to get the message that it's been lost?
