I can imagine a day time map, massive battle going on, a normal Demigod game. Then night falls and torches light all around the arena. It just seems to fit with the feel of the game i think. But thats just me :P
Sadly, i doubt it. Looking at the Gamesradar hands on, it's stated that: 'I nearly killed him the next time we battled, but before I could, he used the natural demigod gateway ability to warp back to his castle and keep himself alive' This seems to show that the chase will be unnecessary as the enemy can just teleport back to their base. I do hope they limit the amount of times you can do that though..
You should recieve an email as confirmation. There won't be any games there until you register them with your key, which you will recieve when the beta begins assuming it's not full (we havent heard that it is, so you should be in).
I think that Generals will also be able to wade into battle and do a lot of damage to the opponent, so don't worry about that. The beta is said to be coming out Sept 5th, pretty soon.. We have heard nothing of the beta being full so if you preorder fairly quickly, you should be in. :)
Have you had a confirmation email that your preorder is confirmed? If not, i would contact Stardock sales and they will confirm for you. We haven't been told that the cutoff has been reached so you should be in the beta :)
Generals can do that. They can sit back and get their minions to attack the enemy or they can wade in themselves. Plus, your idea of having the support class hero help other demigods hinges on it being a 2v2 or more. In a 1v1, they would have very limited use..
What i can't wait to see, is the game kind of.. Mould over the course of the betas. It will be excellent to see the thought process behind every decision and see the game develop into the final product. Simply awesome, can't wait!!
Ohhh.. Silly me, forgetting that.. Sorry for any confusion, Legerdemain is right of course, thanks for the quick catch on my mistake :)
Well, for a start, i'm thinking that if your 'Commander' dies (and by that do you mean your Demigod?) then it's game over, everything disappears and your opponent wins. We don't know about XP/Gold as of yet but that will be known with the beta. When you control a General, the game will run like an RTS, you can control your minions wherever they are (i hope) and summon new ones etc. Your Demigod can level up to level 25 over the course of a game. This adds new skills a
Dusting off Dynasty Warriors 4 and remembering how badass Zhao Tai and Lu Bu are :D
I hope they do implement this, either way, it's something to suggest during the beta, they may just put it in :)
Argh! Stop torturing us! All these journals come and tempt us yet there is still such a long way until we can try it.. You guys certainly know what you are doing :P
[quote]On the other hand, the General wins in sheer number, every hit made on the Assassin will be one step closer to death, while every creep killed will just be a downsizing in power for the General.I'd say the General would win, but it's very much dependant on how good the players are.[/quote] Sorry, i meant Assassin vs General with no other forces, 1 on 1.
[quote]* You choose your Demigod each match. Each account has access to all the Demigods you've unlocked.* [/quote] Does this mean, as i think someone said, that we will have to complete the SP to have access to all the Demigods?
As Zeneroth said, i think the main difference will be their skills. Generals should still be able to defend themselves but the difference will be seen with the OPs first two questions. Assassin vs General, the Assassin would win as they should have more damaging skills. However, the question of equal sized armies, the General's armies should win hands down as the General can buff his armies and generally increase their strength. I only worry that the battle will be essentially over for
They put the extra music on the website which you could access even if you pre-ordered the digital download with Sins. I'm hoping they are going to do the same here. Meaning, digital should also have all the extra content, like the boxed CE. I hope that makes some sense...
How can we still have 4 weeks to go?? Feels like forever :D Excellent to know the amount that our feedback will have on the final game..
I wonder how advanced the AI will be at this stage :P It's a shame that it's starting so late as everything starts back up again in September.. Ah well, i'm sure i will find some time *cough* :D :D
Well, if there is a pure support Demigod, they should be rewarded for well.. doing their job, but perhaps they will just give all Demigods the ability to heal units. It could be an option on the skill tree and you sacrifice another ability for it. I think it would be beneficial for every Demigod to have SOME form of healing, if not always that effective... (or at least the option to have a heal ability, depending on your playstyle) Also, love the idea of virgin sacrifices, but repre
If the beta slots are filled or it's too late, we will be told, so just keep your eyes on the forums :)
Sorry, i wasn't clear hehe, i can get on and talk just fine but there is no options or anything.. Ah well, i suppose thats because it's combined with Impulse but it may be a good idea to include some features in the future :D
The one in Impulse is ok, but i can't seem to find any of the buttons related to the IRC, as you would find around mIRC etc, am i missing something?
I like the Titan Quest skills idea, its indepth but not complicated. In a battle lasting between 10 and 40 mins for instance, much of it would be spent looking at the skill tree if the Diablo style was implemented and in a recent article it was stated that the game doesn't pause so you have to be quick. The only way that would work is if you outlined a plan at the start of a match, but that isn't very fun :P we want to jump right in and start smashing things :D :D
Excellent! Very in depth and yet another aspect of the game we can see is going along well :) I hope all these journals keep coming because not many games let you see into the minds of the developers. Still waiting for that beta announcement.. I want it now! :D
After Sins, i went as you did Scorpuiscat, head first into Demigod and preordered. I don't think i will regret that decision either :)
