There is 1 thing I've noticed about Demigod, and thats the lack of interactivity between players. I believe if the text interface a bit more clear and easier for everyone to see then it would be utilized more.
1. Have the text last on screen longer, OR/AND GIVE THE OPTION TO HAVE TEXT NOT FADE. Make a line of text dissapear after whatever the limit on the screen is for text to appear on the screen at once.
2. Give the text a BLACK STROKE/BORDER. White text on half of the battlefield looks very bad and this simple change would be really nice.
3. Color code YOUR name, your ENEMIES name, and your ALLIES name.
