Freeing up inventory wasnt the only point of this suggestion, just a nice perk. I just like the idea of having certain items that require lower level items to buy, even if you only need one item and can then upgrade it to another. It makes some of the really powerful items seem more valuable and allows players to have more of a stretegy when building their demigod.

One of the best parts of Dota is the way low items are combined to make powerful ones and i think this should be added to Demigod. Im sure Stardock is sick of hearing about wanting Demigod to be more like Dota, but its not like Dota invented this type of thing. There should be another tab in the artifact shop for items that require lower items to create, or make some of the current artifacts require other similar low level items. This is a great way to free up inventory space.
I think some favor item should be more like you said, but once all the items are purchased, there should be a bunch of non-combat type items, things that change the appearence of your Demigods, special titles, stuff like that.
Seing as Supreme Commander went to consoles this wouldnt surprise me. SC was worse on consoles, however, so that could be a problem. Games like Demigod and Dota are perfect for PCs, but it would be cool if they made it work for Xbox. 360 is perfect for multiplayer, XBLive is the best online system for consoles so i dont think that would be the problem, the controls and graphical requirements would be.

Here are two new ideas I have been thinking about for Demigods. Demigod: Dead King. General, Evil. Abilities: Raise minion: Raise an undead minion to fight from a nearby corpse. Each rank will increase the number of minions controllable and strength of minion. At final rank they would be strong soldiers with armor and swords, at first rank would only be like zombies. Also at final rank, slain demigods could be raised to make elite minions. Corrupt: Corr
