yep its true though, i tend to play on smaller maps, so it my give the AI to much of a WR advantage on the larger maps 

i realised that you don't prioritize hp when vs-ing AI . instead, you focus on damage / mana instead . why is this so ?

and do you think you can produce the same results in a larger map e.g. zikurat ? in small maps, i feel that it's easier to help your teammates when killing . all they need is an extra spit to help them take the enemy down . 

and won't didn't you buy creep upgrades when you had the chance to ? are they not of any importance ? 

 

i just read kestrel's tips, and i realised that i made a mistake . it is better to buy all the creep waves in one go instead of one by one cause you're just feeding the enemy with more exp . that's why they levelled so quickly . 

 

edit: sorry for double posting 

is it possible if you get a replay of you beating a 5v5 on a big map ? 

Ironically enough it would be easier for you to fight against the Ai yourselves so that the Ai dont have other Ai to feed off. Just put towers on high to make it easier for you.

Oh and make sure you take Blood of the Fallen as your favour item

That happened to me as well. Anyways, since you can't view a replay with mods in it, I'll try again later without them.

so according to jager, i should try a 1v5 with towers on high ?

 

is it possible to do a 1v5 without towers on high ? or is it really impossible

 

i don't want to give myself a huge advantage over the enemy because i wouldnt be improving . should i use single player or multiplayer to improve myself ?

 

also, what happened to all my favor points ? does it have anything to do with epoch 3 ?

 

i really hate micromanaging so i guess no more generals for me ?

 

do a 1v5 replay if possible . i want to see how it goes .

 

p.s. this is the first game that i've heard that having no allies can actually help you .. >.>

argh .. -.- is it just me or i can't even beat a 1v3 nightmare ? i have towers on high . i can prevent them from going foward but i can't push them back -.- 

 

edit: maybe i'm not spending my money properly ? 

I have made a replay against 3 Nightmare AI. I played with Rook, against UB, LE and QoT on Prison. Everything was normal (including towers) only the flag capture time was medium, which I think is not the normal thing. This was accidentially.

http://www.gamereplays.org/demigod/replays.php?game=51&tab=upcoming&show=details&id=103653

I do not often play with Rook so I had some troubles with Boulder Roll and missed my enemy sometimes.

I thought it was necessary to play defensive. So for example I was only war rank 5 or 6 at the end of the game while the AI already was war rank 10 as I was not able to capture the flags in the center as I had to defend. On big maps it will take even more time to win, as it would be necessary to teleport more to gank and kill the AI. As it can be seen I was often, especially at the beginning in the range of my defense towers to be able to fight the AI and had to run from one side to the other do avoid that the towers were killed. That was also the reason I only took one level of Rooks towers. It is impossble to make a tower farm as you have to be everywhere to defend. On the other side I tried to improve the speed at the end so I could kill the enemy and make a quick attack as well as run back to the citadell as fast as possible.

As you can see in the replay it is possible to stay in touch to the AI level wise even if the AI had the +20% experience flag all the game as it make less kills. The only important thing is that you do not die. If you die the enemy get experience and gold and you are blocked for some time so the enemy can destroy your towers.

edit: I do not really like this 1 vs. x AI games as they are much more stress than normal 4 vs. 4 games. Basically you have to be eveywhere and it is necessary not to die. It is more like if you play against humans, you have to play much more careful.

What I buy and if I save money for a more expensive item depends on how good I am able to perform against the enemy. As long as I can fight them I try to save money for more expensive items. If I see that I get problems I buy an other cheaper item first. At the beginning usually some cheap items are needed to be on pair with the enemy. Later in the game there are phases where you can save money for the more expensive stuff. 
I have watched it once and I saw some things that can be improved. I tell them in the sequence I remember them, not in the sequence how important they are:

• Sometimes the AI captures your portal flag or at least made your flag yellow. You seemed to ignore this for some time although you had nothing better to do than recapture it. That is bad. If your own portal flag has been captured then it has a very high priority to repcapture it as fast as possible. Otherwise the enemy creeps will put pressure on your defense towers.
• Talking about Portals. At the end of the game you have not tried to caputure the portals of the enemys. This is bad. If you have bought Catapults and later Giants it is very good to take this portals. Then your creeps will be very close to the citadel and you have more or less won the game. If you are not suprior (like I was or you were in the end) it is also very helpful to capture the enemy portal flag and then put a flag lock on it and then try to caputre the other portal flag.
• At the end you bought everything up to Catapults and then giants. Although you had enough money you did not buyed the other upgrades like armor or additional attack strenght for the creeps. When you have some spare money at the end buy that citatdel upgrades. The stronger your creeps get the better for the final attack at the citadel.
• At the end you saved to much money. Sometimes you had more than 25000 gold. In such a case I would have bought All Fathers Ring. There is no point in having 20000 or more gold but do not buy anything with it. Better buy "cheap" artefacts and replace your normal items with them. This will let you make more and faster kills so you get that gold back quickly.
• I would recomend to have at least one teleport scroll I you have a spare place. They are cheap and sometimes very helpful.
• I have never played such a Regulus build you have done. Though I am not sure if your items were always the best you could choose. For example you had no items for a long time that increased the attack speed. As you had Angelic Fury as only attack I would have recommended such items. I think also that Nature's Reckoning is no good choice. I would suggest Unbreakable Boots for the same price. There you get also HP and HP regen while the other only has some low chance of some damage.
• I am no Regulus expert but I think that there are stronger builds than yours. Mines are very powerful. I would suggest to use them. They are good to kill creeps as well as make damage to enemy demigods. As the AI stand still when attacking you you can quite easily target the AI with mines. Especially the later versions of mines make good damage. The drawback ist that your mana demand increase and you need a helm like Vlemish but it is worth I think.
• You put much gold into items to increase your HP and often made melee. This worked against these demigods but Regulus is not a good melee Demigod. With him you usually do more kind of hit and run, especially as you had fully upgraded your range skill. Against other demigods like UB you can easily get into trouble when you engage them in melee if you not have a decent level and/or item advantage.

This ring is good. I wanted to say with that that you first saved 26000 gold and then bought the creeps and then saved some money again until you hat 25000 again and then bought the ring. This was not that good. It would have been better to either first buy the ring and then the creeps or buy the creeps much earlier when you could afford them. The creeps are good to support the final attack or to get some time if your citadel is under pressure. Buying them somewhen in the middle of the game is not that efficient. The only exception is when the enemy also buy some creeps and you need some to be able to defend your towers.
As I wrote I never played such a Regulus build so I could be wrong there with the attack speed upgrades. I have played usually builds that used either Snipe or Mines together with Angelic Fury. Especially Mines are very helpful for a Regulus as they make good damage, can kill creep waves quickly and can slow the enemy. AFAIK such magical damage like the fire stuff of TB is not blocked by armor. You need of course some HP to counter this but Regulus will never be that good in melee like an UB for example. So do not concentrate too much on the weaknesses of a Demigod but on his strength. So try to slow the enemy and attack him from the distance. When he comes too close you can flee and when he turns you can hunt him. This is the way a Regulus is played in the best style.You should always use the items that are the best not only for the Demigod but for the style you want to play him.It is better now but there is still room to improve. For example:

• Your favor item and items did not matched good how you selected the skills of your UB. You used Staff or Renewal as your favor item but quickly skilled Ooze. This does not work very well. The main purpose of the staff is to reduce the cooldown so you can spam Spit and Foul Grasp. To be able to do this you need much mana. So you need mana items rather than HP items. There is no point in having the Staff and be out of mana most of the time. On the other hand Ooze has no cooldown and does ot use mana but it uses HP. So you need items that increase your HP regen. So it is best to either use a build with the Staff, a lot of mana and Spit and Foul Grasp that skills Ooze only in late game when you have good items or you can skill primary Ooze, stack HP items (here for example the Blood of the Fallen favor item is much better) and use the other skills only as supplement.
• Althought you got better, you still sometimes did not recaptured your flags in a reasonalbe time. For example at the beginning of the game your Valor Flag was under enemy control for quite a while. Also one of your portal flags was yellow for a while. 
• I do not know if this was a bug in the replay but it seemed you did not spent all of your skill points for many levels but always let one unassigned. If this is no bug than this is a big mistake. Of course in some situations it is good to save a point if you want to spend it at the next level as then new skills are available. Though have one spare point beginning from level 2 up to level 15 or what it was, is not good. It is better to spend the points into the skills.

Yes this works good I think too. I find also Poisoned Dagger useful for that kind of build. As the UB attacks quite fast it is very likely that the slow down triggers.

Yes that is very important. Most Favor items are only good for certain builds (or they are bad for all builds ). There are only very few Favor items that can be used more or less for any build and no one would say that is a poor decision. An example for that is the Swift Anklet. Though the Swift Anklet is a good thing for every build there are often Favor items that fit even better to a certain build. So be careful which favor item you choose. For example without the Fire Bug Fix the Swift Anklet is a good thing for a Fire TB. The reason is because with Swift Anklet and your Fire Aura you are so fast that you can always catch up to the enemy after you fired with your AA. With that fix Favor items that decrease the cooldown or increase your mana are probably better.
Try to always have a rough idea where your enemies are and what they are doing. If you do so then you will see that some enemy enters your base and therefore probably want to take a flag. Then you can decide if you want to teleport to him to gank him. If you have more important things to do or have not the HP or mana or whatever to gank him then you still know that you should take a look if some flag has been captured as soon as possible. To do this take a look what your enemies do when you have nothing to do. For example when your demigod is running towards a target, or teleport back to the citadel or whenever you have a second of spare time. You do not have to do this constantly but the more often you do this the better your overview over the situation is. So you see for example if the enemy AI want to go into your base to capture a flag or if it want to destroy a tower or if it want to kill some of your team members (e.g. when your team members are outnumbered) and so on. The better you know what is going on in the game the better your decisions what to do next will be. Only then you can decide if it is a good idea to attack the enemy base because you know most of the enemies are dead or ported back to their citadel or if they will attack your base very soon and you better defend it.

Well zooming all the way out is usually a good habit to develop. Personally i have trouble with it, cause i play a minion ereb and even with hotkeys its almost impossible in large battles for me to see whats going on, but when i'm retreating or staying behind a tower i zoom out and then back in just to check on what the other demis are doing.

If you want to play reg or rook then you MUST learn how to zoom out all the way because most of what kills rook is not running soon enough and having someone come up behind you, with reg if you take snipe then your job is to provide support to your allies on the other side of the map without dying.

Basically, its something that takes time to develop, and something you should work on.

oh and if you want more builds just check the strat forums (although I haven't put up my ereb build too lazy )
