Hell, I have well over a thousand favor points, none are recorded, at least when i go to the buy menu. I like the +400 health one anyway, erubus needs all the health he can get at the start.
Think I found a way around this. I played a single player tournement with the rook (I have been playing only erubus on panth) I played a pant,and what do you know, I'm the rook on the dark team :)) Going from the erubus to the rook is like going from NASCAR to horse racing. :P But the rook is cool that you can do 1.2k dmg from a normal hit with the 2x gloves.
I play almost exatcly like Blakey. The Batswarm Bite max combo is deadly. Just have high armor gear with mana regen, you shouldn't die after lvl 6. Erubus is a beast. Who gives a $%@% about idols, those abilities just rock together. Regulus players hsould fear me. Had one regulus player kill me twice before lvl 6 in my last game, rest of the game was hell for him.
I beat it with erubus with relative ease, so its possible :)
usually when you get to lvl 20 the game is over.
Minions in the early game are just not worth it in my opinion, they don't really give you all that much of an advantage. Once priests come into the game, minion power goes up significantly. Until then, I'd rather just save the extra cash to get my mana hat as soon as possible, and then some armor. (I always start out with the +400 hp favor item, this helps with not buying the armor straight up)
Do summoned minions give exp?
That means I have to learn to play more then 1? Anyway, anytype of randomness is a good thing. I would be happy if the flags could be randomized as well. Maybe shops appear all over the place and sell random things :P We fcould go on and on. Randomization reduces the repitition of any game. Making things a bit more 'fresh'
I usually go for a warrior type Erubus. I use Bite and Bat swarm to kill enemies. The first thing I always get is the hat that cost 1500 ( 70% mana regen and +some amount of mana). If you can't keep your bite, your going to lose. Then I usually go with the gloves that give a chance for 2x the damage as well as big armor modifiers. The problem lies in surviving the early game. early level bite isn't the greatest. I avoid the Mass Swarm and mist.
I know, running this game on max, everything looks stunning. The gameplay itself is very fresh as well. Just need to tweak the multiplayer connection problems and this game is good to go. Two smaller thumbs up uintil multiplayer is ironed out a bit :)
Too many companies are lawsuit happy these days. It is like how some people WILL sue you over ANYTHING. Anyway, once Stardock finds out what REALLY happened, then they will make a respectable decision based on the outcome. As of right now, if it wasn't truely Gamestops fault, and they were on the forums saying, hey, lets bring up a lawsuit, it would look bad. Wait until the facts have come in. Reason to keep your pre-order
Nothing like 100 unique heros, where only 10 max get played. Guy didn't even have to waste his time creating the others.
I don't think you need to worry about the AI if Frogboy is involved in it.
