Reply to Chicagoland 24 man LAN Party, would love hands on with Demigod! in Demigod Demigod Forums

What I mean by multiplayer spawn is that some older games (e.g. Total Annihilation) allowed you to only buy one copy of the game and then create up to 3 multiplayers spawns for a LAN play. A multiplayer spawn is a version of the game that only allows the player to join and play a multiplayer LAN game, and does not enable online play or the single player game. Unfortunately this beta of Demigod does not allow this, so the only way for you to play with one of your friends on a LAN i

The Beta is LAN capable, however, there is no multiplayer spawn available. Therefore, if you want to play it with your friends, they need to pre-order as well

Reply to [BUG] Regulus snipe animation in Demigod Beta Feedback Demigod Forums

[quote] Kinda related to this: If Regulus has "locked on" you, the sniper shot WILL hit. I was fighting against regulus, teleported home, and while I was teleporting, he started charging up...the shot basically traveled over the whole map to hit me in my base.

Ok, well I have got a little bit further than before thanks to Shirley from Stardock support, however, it is failing at another spot now. The errors I was indicating before are not occuring anymore, now, the Demigod game starts to download (it provides the text "building file lists", then moves to the "connecting" text), but after a while (unsure how long as I went to bed), the download fails and I have the following error in the error log: -- [6/09/2008 2:03:12 AM] ----

Ok Novalith I have performed what you have asked and the results are below, however, before the results, there is another thing I would like to indicate that is an issue for me. Everytime I start up Impulse I have to re-registrar the Demigod registration.

Novalith, thanks for the info. I will go through that when I get home. I am pretty confident that the issue is not the internet connection, but it's always good to check. [e digicons]^_^[/e] With regards to your first point, I have already rebooted my PC, but that has not fixed the issue. With regards to your forth point, the message window in the bottom left corner goes through its usual stuff, but after that, there are no messages, which I assume means that it i

I currently have an issue which seems to stem from Impulse. I have received my email with the serial number, when I start up impulse I am able to registrar Demigod, but when I attempt to install the game I firstly get the EULA and when I select next the following error occurs: "Please wait until Impulse finishes connecting to install an application." It has been doing this for the last 10 minutes, and yet I cannot get past this point.

One question: What happens if there is a problem getting access to the Demigod beta after you receive your serial key email? I.e. doesn't show up in impulse, incorrect key, etc? Do we contact stardock support?

I think Odit's idea is great as well. Just imagine being on the opposition seeing that glowing Demigod coming towards you, it would put the fear of ...ahem... god in you... With regards to innociv's idea, I don't think the god-ray being revealed regardless of the fog war is the best idea, as you can tell at all times where one of the Demigod's are in a game. Just imagine if you could tell where a Commander was at all times in a Supcom game, that would be a huge tactical advantage.

I think from a visual perspective, it would be unlikely that the Vampire Lord would look like a dog, so that's a fair comment, it's just that you didn't indicate that at the start so I was unsure why you were dead a

Demigod at PAX in Demigod Demigod Forums

Even though I am on the other side of the world and won't be going to PAX, can GPG/Stardock fill us in on what demigod related stuff they plan to show at PAX. All I have seen is that they will have a Demigod PAX build that will have more than two demigods on display. If this information is under wraps, at least let us know which day and which theatre GPG/Stardock are going to be in. :) Also, is GPG/Stardock going to be showing any other content non-Demigod related? <b

I wouldn't go with Kali as that is considered to be a female god, I like Strigoi or Bhuta (due to its double meaning, i.e. reality). Also, have you thought of Rasputin?

Reply to Formations? in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Supreme Commander, the engine that Demigod is using has formation move, so the code is definitely there. However, Supreme Commander formation was always a little buggy for two reasons: a. The units moved in formation at a slower speed then they had too. For example if you formation move all of the same unit, it moved slower than the unit would move normally. b. When you set up a formation move for units all over the map, units at the front moved way back to start the format

Reply to The Great Skill Debate in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

innociv, let's get back on track then. With my last post on this thread I was trying to present an idea with an aim to add more strategic depth to the skill selection, while keeping skill use (read micro-management) fairly simple. I did not assume your idea was that all direct damage ranged spells should grant AoE at a certain level. While Tyo's description of the Torchbearer's skill set is not what I would have preferred it still seems pretty good from what I can gather. I wonder if
