I love it. Though I may not do much modding myself, I trust I will see the benefits from the community :D You guys continue to be a model for the industry. Looking forward to this game.
The first games I have strong memories of are the Crystal Caves series for DOS, also DOOM :D Getting into more serious games, Civilization II when I was 7ish then Starcraft, Diablo II, Age of Empires II and it sort of just exploded into the gamer that I am now.
There are two cases in which I've done it, Starcraft and NWN: Hordes of the Underdark. Both of which were/are games I bought, but the disks went missing or got too scratched up, respectively. I wish I had held on to my original SC CD key now that they have their digitial backup service :/
Hey, I've been having lots of fun playing Demigod MP :) But yeah, TBS is better single player I think, I've never even had the desire to bring my CIV games online. I'll write an AAR about them to share, but I don't want to have to have wait for someone else to play out their turn, that game takes long enough as it is :p
Any game in the first couple months is going to be full of all sorts of players, including the trash. It's hard to judge a community until it's settled down for the long haul.
Demigod Forums
In two years with Vista I've had 1 BSOD due to a RAM chip frying, i.e. none because of Vista. I can only assume that people who are having all these alleged issues are practicing poor computer maintenance habits or attributing problems from other software, or hardware, to "evil Microsoft."
I won't concede, and I don't in Starcraft. I'll go down in a blaze of (pointless) glory attack with my underleveled demigod or rushing with SCVs. That's fun for me.
Frogboy and Toady One . We need more amphibious developers who give updates to the community :) As many others have I bought Demigod mostly because of the Stardock branding and knowing the level of commitment and support that label entails. GPG has put out some very fine games themselves, so I knew this would be a good buy. Right now the game is great, there are just a few little kinks to work
As an Erebus player, silence me or drain my mana and I'll run away like a little girl.
Tried a Pantheon game today, ran smoothly. Got one "player has left the game" during startup (out of 6), went perfect beyond that. I went 21-2 myself :)
BMPS = base mana per second PMPS = increase mana per second % AMPS = straight increase to mana per second FMPS = final mana per second BMPS(1 + PMPS) + AMPS = FMPS (BMPS + AMPS)(1 + PMPS) = FMPS So, which formula is it? Or possibly some other less straightforward formula involving total mana, level, and so on.
Very much looking forward to trying out Beta 0 and helping out int he development progress. Seeing as I'm a big fan of Dwarf Fortress, which has no graphics and is in "pre-alpha" I think I can definitely handle "just" having a colorful map with icons :p *pre-order* With this and the two Blizzard titles coming up I've got so many games I'm following right now :/
