I also had this same issue. I thought I saw the word evade above the rook and assumed maybe he had some evasion item and that it was not a bug. That would really suck if enemies have a chance to evade your snipe skill.

I have had the same issue. I have had people join my games but never been able to join others. I just thought maybe I was doing something wrong or something was temporarily not working. I have tried multiple times on different days and it always seems to do the same thing where it just sits with the connection screen and nothing happens.

Gamespy has Sins of a Solar Empire and Galciv expansion in its top ten of 2008. Congrats stardock guys.

Oh I second this. I heard that SD tried to get rights to star control but I could be way off. I would love to have a game very similiar to SC2. That is one of my favorite games of all time.

I just got done testing both maps turning everything I could up. The previous betas I had issues with FPS being quite low and everything was quite choppy. I immediately noticed everything not only looked better but also ran almost perfectly smooth on my machine. I only noticed performance issues in the demigod selection screen. Someone else posted concerning that. Basic Laptop Specs: Intel T2400 1.84 GHZ 2 GB RAM Geforce 7

I experienced this same issue. Seemed weird seeing how everything else spead up compared to previous betas.

Yeah really needs mouse scrolling. I use zoom in and out with the wheel alot but it is just not natural for me to push the mouse wheel to move the screen. Seems like it would be better the have mouse wheel push and hold allow you to rotate like so many other game have. I did not know space bar rotated. I will have to test that out or maybe I just have to get used to it.

It should also show up under games on impulse and then you just click install.

I am 99% sure it will be only through Impulse. All of stardock's previous betas have all been distriputed through SDC so I would assume now they will use impulse.

In IRC chat frogboy said they should have the beta build on Thursday. I asked on a 100% official time and they said at 12 noon EST on Thursday we should be able to get it.

The beta will be starting on that day at around 12 EST from what I have gathered from IRC chat. Not sure if you would get in but maybe if you did before 12.

Good to hear the AI is pretty fun to play against. I thought it said that the initial beta will have ability to play MP over LAN. If that is the case we could all play over hamachi. :D Hamachi is how I play my friends in DOTA all the time and it works great.

Thanks for the cool journal. Looking at the sketches it looks like everything will have a unique look from other games which is nice. Without beta it is hard to give to much feedback. I know in other games it helps to have a small portrait in the corner to help you see your health and mana quickly. Although this really does not have much to do with the UI but being able to customize hot keys for abilities would be nice and then whatever it is set to shows up with the ability description when

I would like persistent heroes. For example like disciples 2 where you can export you characters and use them in skirmishes. Fun to have your friend bring his best hero and you bring yours with all the cool items and battle it out against each other or in a comp stomp. I know warlords battlecry gave you tons of freedom. If I remember correctly you could take you character from the campaign, play a skirmish and put him back in to the campaign with new items and probably leveled up. Just a th

Tyo stated yesterday in the Demigod chat that beta would likely not be out before PAX. The whole schedule was tentative as it states in the journal. Of course there is always hope. Sorry to bring the bad news. :(

Anyway back on track I played the demo today. Pretty basic. I can see coming home and just shooting things for some quick fun. My system did not handle it to well. My PC usually handles this kind of graphics but it had to be turned down to get it to even be playable. Geforce 7800 GO, 2 gig Ram and 1.8 duel core. I would think I should at least get it to run smooth. I have seen it where the demos are not tweaked for performance so I am hoping that is what the issue was. I think I will see

Nice video review. Now I don't need to get the demo because you covered it nicely. Thanks.

Can you put up some screenshots? ;) You guys have done an awesome job.

I have watched it like 10 times. Good stuff. I have to admit I did not believe that was all in game footage at first either. Can't wait for beta.

That will be pretty cool. Taunt people to take your pimped out demigod on and you see how many peons you can take at once. Great idea. ;)

I just had the same thing....1 last token. I got evil islands after reading some reviews on it. I am just getting into it but seems like a solid fun RPG.

I just signed up for their beta. Anyone know any other games they will have? Wing Commander FTW!!! I tried the dosbox thing and I got to one of the missions and everything runs just a little fast so it was impossible to complete the mission.

ROFL!!! Man now how am I going to spend the rest of my day.....maybe I will watch a video.

I agree. Kryo says that is in the works. They are making a decision on it soon. I did notice if you search in google for demigod it links to this page a not GPGs original page.

Welcome to the stardock cult...I mean community. I am very excited that they are now starting to get the attention they have deserved for quite some time. Come join us in IRC chat sometime. Stardock guys are usually on most week days and are always willing to answer questions.
