The easiest way by far to gain favor is by getting the simple achievements. It's true you get no regular favor (Most Kills, Most Upgrades etc) from games against only the AI, but you DO get favor for any achievements you earn. Example: Make a custom game on Prison against one Easy AI, say Queen of Thorns. Adjust the death penalty to light (so the AI spends less time dead) the xp gain rate to high and the respawn rate to high (more xp, more creeps) and I use conquest with t

I think a lot of newer players don't understand how bad dying is. When they lose badly they chalk it up to an "overpowered" Demigod on the other team. You need to point out to them that ANY Demigod that is five levels above them with money to buy much better equipment is going to mop the floor with them.

The custom game connections seem much improved. I still see people drop on game start, and it happens to me occasionally, which is new. I'm curious why this most recent patch seems to have annihilated my ability to play in either skirmish or Pantheon. Out of 20 tries, which excludes the many many times the service never got to the "connection info" button appearing, I had 18 of them end in a failure to create a game of any kind, one created a game which crashed for me befo

Fixed for me as well. Thank you.

I personally like the annoucements, but cannot stand the character voice work. Most of them aren't too bad, but I literally couldn't finish a game playing as Torch Bearer or Regulus. Good news for the OP though, you can turn off all voice overs in the game. In the options settings there is a sound tab. Reduce the slider for voice over to zero and breath a sigh of relief.

Hey LittleOz. I'm pretty sure I'm the Reg in question. I'm assuming you're Bert or Charles? If not I played exactly the same game. Great game and thanks, first off. Lots of back and forth like you said and I had a ton of fun. Let me also say that I totally agree with you about Regulus, and I've been playing online with him specifically to see how people deal with this, since I have the same issue you do late game against him.
