Did devs from LOTR-BFME work on Demigod?

March 21, 2009 8:14:27 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I was just watching the newest video from the game and noticed that the style of the game is very similar to the Battle for Middle Earth games.  The fonts are the same and the graphics all look quite similar.  Did people from the BFME team move to GPG or something?  Or were the BFME games just a major influence?  The fact that it looks like them has intrigued me more actually, so I'm not saying it's a bad thing.  Also, Demigod's big gimmick is the RPG flavor, which BFME had with upgrading units, new special powers, and ring powers.  Anyone else see this?

I've played all the BFME games and I never found them reminding me of Demigod or vice versa. Even when you say it, I can't really see it.

In I think the last BFME game your leader (hero) you could customize and would gain abilities you select as it leveled up.

Warcraft 3 and Spellforce had them way before that too.

 

The idea of units which acrue experience and you choose the benefits for has been around long enough that it's just a basic design element now.

The previous lead designer worked on Battle for Middle Earth 1, I believe - though the influences for Demigod range across a broad spectrum of places.

BFME 1 was a great step for rts games. Of course EA stepped completely backwards in bringing back builder units (BANG to the head) with BFME 2.

BFME 1 was a nice solid kind of game, despite some outstanding issues with pathfinding by cavalry upon fortress walls.
