Not sure what you mean be "easier"... I'd say it is harder now. It is far easier to die, and far easier to get out built. In a nutshell 1) Decreasing the cost of items (as in 1.1) ultimately really wasn't as great as increasing the flow of gold. It pretty much does the same thing with more flexibility. (items or cit upgrades?) - Look a the flow of gold in normal Demigod; Everyone ends up mostly on 1500 to 1750 itemization, and saving for reinforcement upgrades

One! One download! AH AH AH AHH! *thunder and lightning* +1 to whomever downloaded :D

The final version of BalanceMod, Version 1.31, can now be grabbed in Pacov's Mod Installer Package . This will alleviate the previous hoop jumping of having to do a manual update to get the latest version. As always, it should be played with the latest Uberfix, Enhanced AI and Enhanced UI mods that are included in the package. The 1.31 Tour Guide file is avai

You can do it as a mod non-destrutively 1) Follow the instructions to make a mod (folder and mod info) 2) create your own Mod_Units.bp file (this is a text file with the .bp extension) 3) Override the costs using the data structure that can be found in your dgdata.zip's units\ug\b\ugbshopXX file (where XX is the specific shop number for each page of items in the store) eg: In the Mod_Units.bp file of my Balmod mod here is the structure of the consumable price cha

Was thinking about this problem and trying to solve it without the heavy handed approach of Pacov's anti-spirit rush mod. The idea Regular soldiers can target Oak's wards. I'm not talking minions from demigods, I'm talking portal spawned troops. Basically, it is harder to place them to be productive if you don't have lane control. Any thoughts on this? As it is now, the only way they can be destroyed is with Nightcrawlers bec

I'd take some time and read over the info on the latest Demigod Mod Installer page so that you know exactly what you already have. If you are just getting started and are playing online, I'd recommend just enabling the enhanced UI mod. I think it's best to see what the ga

Just thinking out loud, I need step through to remember why changes were made the way they were. For certain EoM as it is, is not really a great item. (everyone can agree to that?) UB @ Level 10 Essence of Magic 1196 Base + 210 EoM + 600 Unbreakable 2006 Mana 1 extra item choice though vs Blade of the Serpent 1196 Base + 400 BoTS + 1050 Vlemish + 600 Unbreakable 3246 Mana Grasp I = 800 Mana Spit IV = 950 Mana

You can do 2 out of 3 fire spells, or 2 out of 3 frost spells. Even trying to do the fast casting spells in a weird order does not help eg: Rain of Ice -> Deep Freeze -> Frost Nova is not doable, as frost nova subtracts mana after it is finished casting, which occurs outside the 3

[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="5" id="3129961"]This just in! Essence of magic now making blade of the serpent obsolete. [/quote] Feel free to expand on that... As I see it, the use of this item is for a hybrid builds: single skill / passive skill builds. it allows most Demigods to fire off one skill in the 3 second window. Most cannot chain their skills in this time. A few exceptions are DA and UB Just for everyone else on how it works,

Some tier 1 player mentioned consume damage in passing. Here is the explanation, the main being that there is an additional potential depending on Ring of Fire and how long you stand on it. Sometimes you cannot avoid it (snare/stun) Fire TB Burst @7 = Fireball 850 + Nova 400 = 1250 + Ring of Fire <span style="color: #ff

Really, last hitting in DOTA2 is a chore I like RoI because of the lane mechanics and persistent items/levels idea. I quit it in Jan when they were doing too many bad things, but it is still a better game then LoL.

It's like a super advanced mine-sweeper mouse click simulator, except for all the crazy super mario kart style BS... I hate last hit game mechanics now...I mean, there are certain extremes that just should not be unleashed on the general population.... like last hitting your own creeps/towers to deny an enemy a last hit. That kind of crap is only cool when you deny the super evil real life bad guy his satisfaction maybe once or twice in a life time... but not every single creep wa

If this actually tricked them, you would have won playing normally anyways for a disadvantage of 2 demigods with effectively 1 less item slot in exchange for 1 "medium" 1750 gold item.

[quote who="pacov" reply="203" id="3100652"]Hmm.. winning a game because the enemy team fails... let me meditate on that logic. [/quote] It is possible to win a game when the enemy team does not fail because this MOBA has giants, who can end a game regardless of how awesomely and flawlessly everyone who is Tier 1 is playing. This is the Tao of Demigod, and MOBAs in general. So in this 2xMPC regard, you are gaming that the enemy will fail and not play flawle

[quote who="pacov" reply="201" id="3100504"] Quoting LORD-ORION, reply 194 What this really amounts to is winning the game because your enemy fails, because if they play poorly you'll get some kills and always stay ahead.

It's been real fun all these years, but it's time to go.

In particular Pacov - For community support and putting up with my mod package requests- Fantastic job! :D Miriyaka- For all the mod support an

Numbers aren't everything no... But since we do not see rampant MCP abuse, it can be safe to assume that 2 people taking MCP and front loading items for a teammate would translate into an early 1750 item advantage. (877x2) That is until 5 items are slotted. Then you have 2 gimped teamates and a UB on his way to Jtreads Maybe a little under 3 minutes faster then everyone else. (1750 advantage @ 10 gold per tick)
