demigod / minion icons

from Demigod Forums

I'm usually a sedna player, and I enjoy running around healing my team mates and assisting them. However sometimes, especially when theres a rook or two involved and a whole bunch of mobs, it can be hard to select the right demigod when casting. I was wondering if maybe along the left side of the page you could maybe have a little icon for every player on your team, with their name, a pic of their demigod and a health/mana bar. This would help you keep an eye on your team mate's status easier and I think help promote more teamwork amongst players.

 

Also, is it possible to maybe have a row of buttons along the hotbar for generals to select each individual type of minion? (siege gunner, yeti, priest etc) Sometimes I want to send my priests back or my siege gunners forwards or whatever and it can be a pain to find them in the crush. Pressing M just gives me all minions. It would make micro managing minions a lot easier. Especially for queen players who need to mulch.

The tilde key (to the left of the 1 key) will toggle through a variety of Healthbar displays.  I hit it 4 times, which usually makes only demigod healthbars show.  Holding down the Ctrl key when you heal will make it so only a demigod gets the heal.  It's still hit & miss to make sure you heal your target (and not yourself), but that's the best you can do for now, until further upgrades/patches/mods. . .

Bman made a mod kinda like this. Mod support hasn't been added to the multiplayer game yet though =(  

Frogboy took a look at it and called it "interesting", so hopefully we'll see an official version of this sort of thing in one of the patches by the end of summer.
