My friends and I picked up Demigod in the recent Impulse sale and are still quite new to the game.  I messed around in single player a lot and earned enough points for the teleport item (1100ish points) and decided that was definitely what I wanted to save my points for in multiplayer.  My friends and I play skirmish games vs. AI's, and I got up to 770 points, then stopped earning points at all.  The game says I earned points in the batle summary at the end, but I never actually have them when I start up the next game.  My friends sometimes get points and sometimes don't.  We have established that it doesn't matter who hosts the game.  Any ideas?  I'd really like to be able to use the teleport item in our skirmishes...  Are there some rules governing how favor points are awarded that we don't know about?
