On the karma trunc issue, I have seen both cases happen (different columns truncated), can't really tell whose karma I was watching, but it should be easily fixable. Probably the code just needs a bit of conistency, coding every column the same, and then just add a word wrap or truncate for whichever column the forum creator prevers.

How about adding an extra grunt group at a later interval, which goes directly towards the enemy base.

[quote who="TarlSS" reply="23" id="2257350"]Stardock is a good company, this game just failed. It's fine, a company can't be perfect ALL the time. See Space Siege. [/quote] but who failed, GPG as a game studio or Stardock as a publisher? SD can only be blamed for the multiplayer part, and though yes it sucked they ARE working hard on it. combine that with the reason it failed (something that was only 50/50 testable) I think Stardock [i]failed[/i] at nothing, they j

Valid point, were it not that the demigodthegame.com website links to [b]this[/b] forum. So I think it is a valid idea to expect GPG to atleast read and respond to these fora.

That or make it so that any click on the minimap that's in the neighbourhood of your base makes you teleport to the citadel/crystal.

I agree. And the thing is that it's easy for them to release small hotfixes, as the Impulse client takes care of it all. A 600 kb patch takes the lesser part of 2 minutes from start to finish, and it'll relieve the pressure off of all the complaints here.

Any devver wanting to elaborate on the AI improvements? It's what I'm intrested in most. Would be nice to hear some more about it. Good job on the update :) and I saw frogboy posting in bman's mod's thread too, so kudos for listening to us :)

[e digicons]k1[/e] [b]BUT[/b] I'd really rather have GPG's own implementation of this. bman is still kind of hacking lua code to add this, which is great, but the game needs a decent mode for this coming from GPG. Only they have access to all game code to implement it in the best way. Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful for bman.

I'd probably buy them [b]but[/b] only if support for DG will still be there in 2010. That goes for all publishers actually. I hate it when studios promise everything (SD is not a studio, I know), deliver a halfassed product and then move on to their next product. I do not demand bugless products at launch, no product is bugless. But it's about fixing the things the community asks for that matters. (so far SD is doing a great job, GPG I'm not sure yet..)

[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="7" id="2255474"]As for fan made demigods, imo they can't be done with good results. This is not like in DOTA where heroes have 3 poligons for the head. Demigods in DG need a lot of work in 3dmax, texturing, animation, spell effects, sound effects, etc. You need to be a very skilled modder to do this. It's not impossible, but i'm doubtful... [/quote] I agree it's doable but very hard. So the logical thing would be to let players/modders think up of a

I agree extra content can be sold, [b]but[/b].. (and please read my whole post before responding) I bought this game because I read in advance that more maps and DGs would be added. I payed $40 for what the game is now and the promise of a bit more down the line with a patch. I am not sure if I would have spent the same amount of money if they had said it would (all) be payed content. But as Frogboy said atleast some new content will be free and GPG is working on it (maps

[quote who="Dead Ghost" reply="18" id="2254786"]The old "quality over quantity"...How i come to hate this expression, especially when it refers to games...Really, this is just a poor excuse for laziness (or cheapness), in most cases anyway. How do you know that by bringing more demigods, the quality would suffer? As far as they don't start repeating themselves (play style and skills), i say bring as many as possible. I don't think the limit in this case is 10 or 12.[/quote] One does not

Modern times kind of stretch that definition a bit to mortals becoming part god or just very powerful mortals, but his post was correct.

I also still have them all. Updated at latest patch as of today. I have a 16:9 laptop and get the 1366x768, 1280x768 and other resolutions.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="2253320"]Not really sure. It's GPG's call really. Stardock is going to pay for the development of 2 more though. [/quote] Cool bananas. I'm hoping 10 or 12 DGs total, it's really more about quality than quantity afaic. And 3 maps per player count, so 3 x 2vs2 maps, 3 x 3vs3 maps, 3 x 4vs4 maps, 3 x 5vs5 maps. Although if they get some really good ones I'd settle for less. It's about having some good choic

Well looking at it again on my end the other column gets truncated:

Looks fine on my end, with IE8 too. Maybe it's a forum skin thing? As i visit these forums via the demigod site.

I think there will be one problem on this map, which you kind of point out yourself. Looking at the tower placement and grunt pathing it'll probably end up being a xp/gold grind till about level 8, then both parties will leave grunts and their battle for what it is and just try to destroy 1 or 2 towers to get to the enemy base directly. Clearing the grunt path in order to have some destroying power is way too timeconsuming when compared to just taking the short path. I think all game would en
