The point is EVERY game release that is based on large multiplayer elements is prone to unexpected problems such as this. The difference - and this is very important - is that some developers don't give a shit. Yeah I agree, the issues I have experienced trying to play this game have been a frustrating nightmare. Even last night, after typing the original post, i spent most of the night trying to play and got 1 and a half games total. It's frustrating, but it's slowly getting be

At the end of the game it usually pans around the destroyed citadel then pops up a stats screen where there's a clickable box to show either ingame stats or various awards handed out - like whoever killed the most, most assists, most citadel upgrades etc. Sounds like your game skipped this step somehow.

..at least do the right thing now and purchase it. If only to support a smaller developer who has done everything possible(and continues to do so) to inform and support their growing community. I swear it's refreshing to see the head of a company actually make almost daily highly informative, highly honest posts and keep us completely in the loop. Without that I can almost guarantee most of us would have felt it another case of ok, they shipped their not ready product out the door

Hang on, what's the deal with favour items? How are you LOSING items? I thought you just earned favour points which you then used to be able to buy favour items ONE per round in each game? Can you actually get items and keep them through it or what? i don't get it.. *edit - dont get it as until present have barely ever been able to actually get into a pantheon game with humans.

Along the bottom of each skill tree is the one with the cross symbol which beefs your stats across the board by a small amount. Does anyone actually use these upgrades? I'm finding more and more that I'm basically not using them and wondering if i should be. Thoughts?

Pirating is not going to go away ever(imo). Smart companies need to embrace methods of converting pirate downloads into sales rather than trying to stop what is only going to be even more difficult to counter as download speeds and limits only get faster and larger. Things like steam are the future imo. They offer really affordable means of getting games easily where it really does offer a good alternative. To me games in Australia have been severely over-priced for year

If you want to see if you're against players or ai - i am guessing in this instances you're mostly against ai as whenever i launch skirmish or pantheon it's usually mostly vs ai - press the scores button at top of screen. Those player names with pings beside them are players, those with 0's are ai.

Played a few custom games last night too. It was still a bit dicey(for australians) but it was MUCh better joining. Still the yellow ping issue(which they acknowledged was still there) but yeah excited about being able to play games without as much pain as previously. It really is a good game when you get to play it. I suspect word of mouth popularity will bring in a lot more customers once the issues are completely solved. A few more demigods added in and it's basicall

You can never over-communicate imo - well unless you're that Paul Barnett guy from Warhammer online whose initially funny and charismatic until you realise everything he says in his videos never ends up eventuating.

I actually, for the first time ever(im in australia) had a pantheon game with _6_ people in it - that's right, a 3v3. I was so amazed i almost alt-f4'd in surprise. To date the most i have had in it was 4 - me on one side, 3 on the other - or most common, me on one side, one other guy on the other. So yeah an actual real live 3v3. Was amazed. In order to get into that 3v3 had to persist with trying to connect, kept getting the You have been kicked message - one eventually got thro

Actually I used the term 'proper multiplayer' more in relation to using Demigod's actual ingame multiplayer lobby - nowhere did I comment on the actual performance of it. In fact to date my only word for using that lobby is shitbag. Being in Australia i have had considerable(and continue to do so) issues playing the game multiplayer. I have wasted hours nightly trying to play the game, wondering if i did in fact just piss on the 57 aud it cost me to buy the game.

I will only play with any form of ai if i absolutely positively have no other option - which is like, hardly ever. I've never actually ever seen an RTS where the ai behaved even partially like a human. Some way some how it's always just plain retarded. Most recent case of this is dawn of war 2. You play a 3v3 and have a teammate drop then you were stuck with a retarded ai that would just suicide attack the enemy base while pinging the map non-stop. While this has been improved somewhat, it's

Heh love all the pirates coming out of the woodwork trying to justify how pirating games is valid. I bet they sure as hell wouldn't be paying for it if they didn't have to - ie it didnt need to be validated or was 100% single player or what not. The only reason these people volunteer pay for the game is they have to in order to play it online properly when it turns out they like it. A true ethical minority would exist who download to legitimately test performance results or the fact i

I dont know of any RTS game where the AI is anything other than fodder. Every game has varying degrees of crapness when it comes to ai - the rule of thumb is if you expect(aka ANYTHING) too much of the ai you're going to be disappointed.

Pantheon sucks - had my first game last night ever with more than 2 people - it had 4 people in it. Me and Ai vs the other team of 3 and 2 AI. Utterly ridiculously stupid.
