"General" Suggestions

Minotaur, Gunner, and Priest Minions...

Buying the priest totem at the begining of the match is unbalanced. Walking around with healing early on is ridiculous.

Minion Interface needs all the standard RTS controls. Shift-Click to add a dude. Ctrl-Click-<key> to bind that selection to a key.

Vampire Lord abilities are waaaay overpowered. Try this

1) Summon priests

2) Bat-port into mass of badguys (including 5 oponent demigods)

3) Mass Stun

4) Mist

5) Un-mist

6) Get healed by priests

7) Bat-port out

8) Win game

Bat Port is AMAZING, it needs to do less (or no) damage and cost less mana. It should be a port and not a more amazing damage spell than the torchbearers fireball (with a seksy port!)

Mist is so amazing, it should be removed and given to Unclean Beast(!), or completely redone. (Transforms into mist form, can no longer attack or use abilities, gains 80% dodge.. something like that, so you can actually be a "General" and not a whopass machine w\ Pets )

Mass Charm shouldn't work on Demigods or buildings. Maybe rename it Befuddle and have it severly slow creeps instead of completely incapacitating everything.

Bite is fine (I think?)

This post is really funny because 1) I totally agree with you that vampire lord is has crazy awesome abilities. 2) I see alot of posts where people are bitching that he is the worst demigod of the bunch LOL.

I for one have a hard time fighting vampire lord and not having to run for the hills cause his kicking my ass

Bat port is the shit

People are saying he's the worst?

That's just crazy talk. Maybe they don't want him to be nerfed! LOL. He is, by far, the easiest demigod to win out of the whole bunch, the only one I haven't played this release is Unclean Beast (but I played him a tonne last release).

Lets put it this way. This release is to Vampire Lord as Beta 1 was to Unclean Beast.

I completely disagree. Did you use his Mist? Torch Bearer destroys him. Unclean One destroys him. Regulas destroys him. Oak destroys him. Maybe Rook doesn't destroy him. But his mist sucks. Did you stand in it? Just run away for 2 seconds turn around and kill him. By that time he would have destroyed his health if he had gotten more than 2 ranks in mist. Bat Swarm is awesome. But its cooldown is huge. What can he do besides that. Not much. Torch Bearer has better Aoe, a better stun, doesn't kill himself, and has passive auras. I don't see how you think Eberus is currently a good hero.

I see your argument, but your assuming the other team won't stun you or destroy your priests with Torch Bearer. Plus, you can't bat port in mist and bat port out. The cooldown is too high and you would kill yourself before the cooldown would be back up to escape. The only way you could do this is to get only one point into mist. Perhaps this is useful, but to have the level 4 version be useless while the level 1 be great because you can just sit there is a design flaw. Currently, regardless he doesn't work like he should. If you have anyone who knows what they are doing you will die. They just need a warp cloak. You bat swarm, they warp, stun you, slow you, and because mist sucks at level 3-4 you die.

You have an "award points" item that heals you for 1k5 hp. Plus, we are talking about level 6 - 9 demigods. Of course, this tactic doesn't work when you have a rook with his -'("!ù*ing boulder, and send you something like "Hey, look at my big hammer, closer, closer, close... woups, sorry for your face, see you later !" at max level. But in the early game, it's really a great way to kill demigods : )

Mist is amazing, get some +HP items and have teh fun. When you've got 8000 hp and batport in before they know what's going on....

No, unfortunately, it's not. Too short of a cooldown, too powerful when you consider that it's not just plain damage, but also healing and incredible secondary effects.

I hadn't been using it until this morning, and yes, it's amazing too.

1) Bat Port in

2) Bite

3) Lvl 2 Mist

4) Bite

5) Bat Port to chase

6) Bite

Honestly Erebus would an amazing Assassin. In fact, it would probably do the game some good if you they'd just make him an Assassin. Where does it say you have to have the same number of Generals and Assassins?

Good point Daton,

You could make Torchbearer a General...

Successfully updated karma reason!

That'd actually make more sense since the Torchbearer has a lot of group-buff auras.

I'm going to play again tonight. So far, Torch Bearer is my favorite hero. Also the differences between Generals and Assassins is a joke. I would rather just call them support heroes or something.
