Right now? 5-6/10. "Limited replay value holds back what could have been a hit."
Are you playing Torchbearer? When you use his R ability, that's Relive the Immolation, and it switches him to fire mode for (50?) seconds.
Looking over the rest of the lua stuff, I don't see anything else of immediate interest--as far as I can tell, the logic behind the stuff is very similar to Supreme Commander. I guess one thing of note is that Unclean Beast is in the characters folder with all his meshes and animations (although no abilities in the units/heroes folder). Any supreme commander unit modders interested in trying to get him to display in the engine? >.>
## This may end up being a double post. ## I ought to note that I've been in lua/common for the last bunch of posts. There is an ArmorTypes.lua, but everything seems to take 1.0 damage from everything. On the other hand, there's a commented section where other values exist. BuffDefinitions.lua contains rez sickness, which seems to last at most 60 seconds. 90% speed, vastly increased cooldowns. Also there are definitions for all the things that make stuns
From AbilityDefinitions.lua: Generals look to have limited control over minions: there are abilities for rally to general and attack area. Finger of God, from the singleplayer achievements, is a superweapon. Description: Fire a beam of light from your castle onto a spot on the map. Built at your castle. Requires Tier 3 castle.
Regulus: same first four. Regulus the Patriot - Capture 10 flags. Booby Trapper - Place 3,000 mines and wards. Marksman - Kill 10 demigods with snipe in a single game. Boom - Deal 500,000 points of damage with explosive mines. Stunning the Masses - Freeze 5,000 enemies with stasis mines. Ascension - Unleash your angelic fury 100 times. I'll put Rook in this post, too, since I'm getting so much faster. Same first
Oculus: same first four. Oculus' Bench Warmers - Build 200 units in a single game. Evil Hypnotist - Make 1000 minotaurs jump into the void. Eye of the Beholder (ha!) - Gain 40 eyes in a single game. Spectral Engineer - Divert 100,000 points of damage with your prism. ICU - Deal 1,500,000 points of damage with your eyes. Frickin' Laser Beams - Deal 2,000,000 points of damage with your staff. Next: Regulus--finally
Vampire Lord: same first four. Looks like his mechanics are very heavily stealing-based, based on these. Vampire Lord's Brood - Build 200 units in a single game. King of the Suckers - Gain 250 vampires in a single game. Pickpocket - Steal 50,000 gold with your hand of extortion. Blood Bank - Drain 100,000 points of health with your soul stealing. I What's yours is mine - Co
QoT achievements: first four are exactly the same, except with QoT instead of Sedna/Oak. Queen of Thorns' Court - Build 200 units in a single game. Endles Ents - Gain 40 ents in a single game. Demolitioner - Uproot 150 structures. Shake Your Money Maker - Earn 400,000 gold with your money tree. Do I make you thorny? - Deal 1,000,000 points of damage with your thorns. Entangler - Deal 2,500,000 points of damage with your ents.</l
Sedna achievements: Sedna the Champion - Win SP tournament. Sedna the Invincible - Win a game without losing any defenses or dying. Veteran - Win 10 games. Demination - Kill 10 demigods. Sedna's Acolytes - Build 200 units in a single game. Ready the Yetis! - Gain 10 yetis in a single game. Doctor - Heal 4,000,000 points of damage with your healing wind. Ambulance Chaser - Earn 100,000 gold with your abundance
Oak achievements: Oak the Champion - Win SP tournament. Oak the Invincible - Win a game without losing any defenses or dying. Veteran - Win 10 games. Demination - Kill 10 demigods. Oak's Army of the Dead - Build 200 units in a single game. Soul Keeper - Gain 200 spirits in a single game. Resuscitator - Rise again 30 times. (seems like Oak will have a back-from-the-dead ability, by the way the logic goes) Gold
More fun stuff: achievement lists! According to the lua file, they'll eventually move to impulse, but are stored locally for convenience right now. Fine by me :P Singleplayer: (No name) Win a SP game with any demigod. (No name) Win a SP game with any demigod without dying. Immortal - Win SP tournament without dying. Perfectionist - Win SP tournament with all demigods. (No name) Reach warscore level 10. (No name) Reach le
Post your interesting discoveries here! I'll be adding more as I continue to dig. First off, Vampire Lord skill descriptions! Vampire Lord was the only one in strings_db--the descriptions/names for the playable characters seem to be in their ability files in the heroes directory. Bat Swarm I/II: The Vampire Lord transforms into a swarm of bats, teleporting him to a new location and damaging everything in his path. Bite I/II/III: Bites a target and drains 250/400/550 he
Not accessible in-game, yes accessible endgame. You have no reason to be checking the scoreboard while play is still progressing. :P
I'm not! I'm hoping for a game that has some similarities, but is unique enough to escape the inevitable "well, why'd I pay $50 for what's effectively a WC3 custom map?"
Let's talk about demigod balance once we've seen all of them. It's equally possible that Regulus and TB are underpowered.
Arrows scroll the camera as of now.

When you're posting display bugs, include a dxdiag--there's not an especially large amount they can do otherwise.
I suppose I ought to note that this was at 1024x768.

[quote who="innociv" reply="12" id="1863595"]I didn't preorder because I DotA. I don't really like DotA, and I don't think most are DotA players. I don't think even one QUARTER are. Most DotA players dont' know about Demigod.[/quote] Truth. DotA is inaccessible and plays slowly. I don't want a 45-90 minute game. The complaints about map size=lack of strategy and demigod 'overpoweredness' neatly cancel out, I think--if you draw the enemy demigods to
You'll be able to run smoothly at 1280x1024/medium/no aa with that card. My roommate has the exact same, and gets a steady 30fps with vsync on. >.>
People saying you need an 8600 are kidding. My friend's 8600GT is running it at 1280x1024 on medium fidelity. Heck, my 8500GT is running it at 1024x768 (don't laugh) and medium fidelity without any chugging.
