[IDEA] Lesser Demigods

For single-player campaigns... and more (!)...

Lesser Demigods

Heralds perhaps.

These entities are player characters like Demigods, but of inferior stature. Some are servants of the Demigods themselves, some are simply exceptional individuals seeking ascension.

I could see each having access to maybe at most 4 abilities in a skill tree ala a normal Demigod, but their overall character power would at most be 60% to 75% of a true contender.

My notion was related to play in single-player campaigns. Perhaps a certain scenario pits the player`s Demigod against two of The Oak`s (for example) lieutenant`s, his Heralds, who fully cooperate with each other in order to protect their master lord. They would be weaker apart, but then again there are two of them acting in concert to defeat the player in that scenario.

Further, as I pondered this, it occurred to me that such could be an interesting handicap challenge for multiplayer. Players could endeavour to be gutsy enough to choose from a field of Heralds instead of from the superior Demigod ranks. Could be neat.

Demi-Demigods? Quartergods?

naming them could be an issue, though heralds working rather well, but i like the concept for some extra variety in SP. that said, i know about -->|this|<-- much about the SP in DG so there already may be planes for that.

What are you talking about it is going to be like a arcade fighter and racing game combined with RPG and RTS componenents.  If that piece of info by Tyo doesn't just explain everything as clear as day, I don't think anyone can help you.  It's so obvious, I already have my strategy all worked out.

What?  WHAT? WWWWHHHHAAATTTT?  Regulus is my fave.  Don't trash just cause you can't beat him (or because he is totally nerfed in beta 1a).
