Wow. Some of the hostility toward modding, and especially ai modding, leaves me really confused . I think support for modding is fantastic, and is one of the really positive things about the pc gaming community. Has anyone else here enjoyed and appreciated playing a mod for a game? A mod that complete strangers have poured their time, energy, and passion into, and then released free of charge? I'm not ashamed to admit that I have. Perh

Hi Frogboy, the idea to open up as much of the elemental engine to modding is a fantastic idea. We've seen some great mods grow into full commercial games over the years from the Quake / Unreal / Source modding communities so it would be lovely if a similar thing could happen for strategy gaming. Have you thought about how licencing of the Elemental engine / SDK etc might play out, or is this still a bit too early to speculate? re: python I've been using
Main menu imba, nerf menu.
re: heavean's wrath: [quote who="SoFFacet" reply="17" id="2312717"] In my premade we refer to that item as the "noob cannon." Its completely terrible. Why in the world should we nerf it?[/quote] Okay, to what degree would we have to buff it for you to consider using it?
need a teleporter here! more seriously, an equivalent fix would be to ensure all spawn points are located an equal distance from the shop. but this is a minor concern, right?
[quote who="azianinvazn" reply="22" id="2311092"]Can u simply allow demigod to be openned with steam and impulse at the same time. I find it annoying when i have to alt tab to see a msg sent to me from steam instead of openning it ingame. And since the game randomly crashes when you alt tab, this is a problem.[/quote] don't try to run demigod via steam, simply run it in a window. then you dont need to alt-tab.
[quote who="Polynomial #10 and rest of " reply="10" id="2312337"]Thing is, making Yeti's better doesn't necessarily make Sedna play better. If she takes Yeti's instead of Heal, or healing wind, or pounce, then the only time she would be 'better' is if the change to the new better Yeti's were more effective than the current pounce/heal/wind combo she has going on.[/quote] Of course. Conversely, at present you could probably remove all yeti related skills from the game and leave the bal
[quote who="Aroddo" reply="8" id="2312260"] I agree that Sedna is one of the stronger Demigods. But her self-heal build is so overpowered compared to any minion build of hers that Yetis are nearly obsolete. So it does make sense to improve her minion tree, just for the sake of variety, not for the sake of making her even stronger. [/quote] I agree wholeheartedly with the philosophy here. If a game is offering you a choice between a number of options, they should all be inter
We have permission to talk about the game now, eh? I gave HoN a very brief try - thanks to Synapsis for the beta invite. I was expecting something similar to Demigod - inspired by DotA but with its own take on the art and maps and maybe some new or different core gameplay mechanics - but, alas, no. I started laughing when I realised they'd even cloned the map. I couldn't bring myself to even try to finish a round. Perhaps this is reactionary, superficial, unfair - but I have no desire
[quote who="Lonous" reply="5" id="2308467"]Give the yetis jetpacks and chainsaws. Seriously, how cool would that be? [/quote] It'd give sedna far more utility against enemy heavy weapon platforms.
[quote who="Stone_McPhone" reply="3" id="2307231"] On the subject of random teams I think the major issue here is that it will not fix the issue if 1 out of the 6 is still significantly worse than the rest and also will make it harder to play with friends which a lot of players really enjoy doing. [/quote] Yep - I agree here that one factor is the rather small player counts of the typical demigod game, compared to other team-based competetive games. The less players you have
