Are you staying in the same game the whole time trying to get it working? Sometimes people who do not forward ports or who have bad connections do not leave the lobby and the game never starts because there is always someone who can not connect to them. Try going to different games if one of them has connection issues. If your connection is good, you will be in a game in less than 5 minutes using this methode.

Furthmore I demand a fix for my unbalanced coffee building time!!!!

Yea I am getting that too. Will post Dxdiag if requested.

Build Tanks..... Sorry Wrong Game...

How about making it so your minions can gain XP for thier general. That would give the the general a reason to split off it's minions. In order to balance this the minions should give a small amount of XP to a player that kills them. This way a general can micro his minions to kill creeps while staying away from the assasins which can kill them very fast.

Yes the XP gained from slaying a general will probibly need to be reduced to balance this out. The XP gained from slayng the generals minoins will also be very low because they are so weak. Currently the generals minoins do not give thier general XP. I am confident that the issues brought up could be avoided by the proper balancing.

At the moment one of the biggest gameplay issues that us RTS players have is that there is no reason to split off the minoins from the generals. They are not strong enough to kill towers or assasines without thier general, and they shouldn't be. There would be a reason to split off the minoins if they could gain XP for thier general by killing creeps. To balance this out, the minoins should give XP to whatever kills them. The generals would have the advatag

There is an easy solution to this problem. Play more maps...

I have been playing multiple games fine. This time about 10-15 minutes in the sim just stopped. I could access menues and select units. I could even give the units orders. However nothing was moving. Everything even projectiles just stopped. dxdiag here ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 1/18/2009, 18:08:15 Machine name: INES2 Operating System

I think that generals should have decent health but little to no damage output. That way you can hang out on the front line and cast spells to help his minoins if you want to but you do not have too. The damage output should be almost entirely from the minoins. There should be more minoins and they should scale better. I think nerfing the generals damage output, buffing the minions and increasing the number of minions is all that is needed to make it feel RTS like.</

I also found that playing with towers on week makes the game much more fun to play. If you lose focus on your defences for a minute they can fall. I think this gives the game more strategy and helps the stalemate problem.

As for the stalemate problem I found that setting the death time to mean, setting the war idol increase rate to high and the towers to low strengh helped alot. The main problem with setting the towers to low strenth though is that they fall too fast to other demigods. I think the anwser is to make the siege creeps more powerful.

I also vote for a simple minimap

"a Tech 5 coffee machine that will not only make coffee in less than 30 seconds, it'll also make pie, donuts, and even walk your dog on automatic timer. Although I seriously doubt that function will be implemented; I mean, who wants to drink coffee from a machine that also picks up dog doo-doo?"
