Reply to Devs please examine: SP tournament: Normal is too easy, Hard is far too hard in Demigod Stardock Forums

Just tried another hard tournament, reached a downward spiral once again. My team was level 11, theirs was 18. I lead the game in kills, but every DG on their team was so buffed in armor and regen that it was simply impossible to significantly hurt them. Their regulus fired his crossbow like a machinegun and was untouchable. Even though our side had moments when we were doing well, theirs always pulled out of the slump with massive advantages. Maybe my game is running differently than

[quote who="stepsister" reply="20" id="2338650"]You guys are crazy. The Hard tournament is so easy. I haven't tried a Nightmare one yet, I don't like cheating AI. I'm a mediocre online player and I can just steamroll through the Hard tournament with any of the DGs that I play regularly. If you find the hard tournament extremely difficult you shouldn't be playing online. [/quote] Well it's the opposite for me. I'd like to hear you explain your strategies that make

Reply to [Balance] I think the biggest issue right now is priests scaling heals. in Demigod Stardock Forums

[quote]For example: say two generals harass each other over a couple of minutes. They both have priest minions. One has 4k HP and the other has 2k HP. Not only does the lower HP player have to harass for twice as long (which is what having double HP should roughly do), but that player has to break through twice as powerful free healing. It would do the game good to have all priest type characters (both reinforcement and idols) changed to heal for fixed amoun

Reply to Tone it down on the Nightmare AI - Tourny in Demigod Stardock Forums

I agree with you that all game modes need to be playable and winnable. The hardest difficulty should indeed be hard, but not frustratingly impossible. I have a thread to this effect here: http://forums.impulsedriven.com/361130

I keep trying, but it's awful every time. I'm not a bad player. This hard difficulty tournament simply stacks the numbers heavily against you. I've won plenty of games against human players, but have won a hard difficulty tournament level only a few times, and only as Regulus sniping fleeing DGs. I need to see some footage of hard difficulty tournament games to truly believe it can be done. It sucks because the normal difficulty basically hands the win to you. I'd like a ch

Reply to Demigod Preview: The Demon Assassin in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

Using abilities like short range warp and blink is a strategy that's been around for a while for many 'swords and sorcery' combat games, including tabletop. It will be interesting to see it in action here. I personally think this DG is going to be more annoying than anything else. And the demigod swap spell may be completely unbalancing. I just hope it isn't very long range. There should be some special detriments like being stunned for a few seconds after using it, so you have to car

If it's windows 7 I may avoid it for a litte longer.. *edit* the only audio bug I have ever had is where I die, so the death sound effect starts (that foggy, misty, you're dead sound), then I leave that game. The sound effect never turns back off till I die again then come back to life in some other game. Fortunately/unfortunately I didn't die in my next 3 games...but I was basically playin

I just spent last night referring to the various guides posted on the forum, and reviewing my strategies for HARD difficulty tournament. I didn't experience any significant improvement in our situation. My team is always several levels below the enemy, they are always handicapped, rarely get kills, and are killed alot. In short order, the enemy is so powerful that they can just march right in. THe only demigod that I had any success with was Regulus, as that allowed me to snipe fleein

PROBLEM: Persistent "death whisper" bug in Demigod Technical Support Stardock Forums

I have a SBLive! and an Nvidia chipset ASUS motherboard. If I die, the screen goes grey and you hear the 'death whisper' sound that runs until you respawn. The problem is, if I quit a game, SP or MP, during this period, the death whisper is persistent and never goes away. At all. Starting a new game, turning the sound off and on, replaying and dying to reset the whisper, nothing except quitting to windows will stop the death whisper.

I'd sure like to hear specific strategies / tactics that allow you or others to have an easy time beating the enemy on hard / nightmare. Unless you are using some exploit. I have browsed the forum on similar topics, and so far what I've read has only had posters who either find it impossible, or find it rediculously easy even on nightmare. No specific tactics are ever given. Which leads me to believe that those who find it easy know some AI exploits. When I play it doesn't take long f

I play alot more SP than MP demigod. For this reason, the tournament mode has been the most fun for me. The issue is that playing tournament on normal difficulty is especially easy, while on hard it is near impossible. In normal difficulty, I think I could win every game just by sitting back and watching. The bonuses are very strong on your side, and quite weak for the AI. We get rich very quickly, gain Exp very quickly, have more HP, etc. Play for 5 minutes, look at the scoreboard, a

A comment on a 1.1 feature in Demigod Stardock Forums

- Reduced experience and gold reward from killing priests and angels, to offset the benefit the opposing team sees from a citadel upgrade in those types. Can't say I agree with this. I understand the thinking... that when one side buys these units, they actually can be harmed by feeding extra XP to the enemy. So its a mixed blessing and may do more harm than good. I get that. But I disagree with this approach for the following reasons: 1. There is and has always been a
