I agree Admiral. Good and Evil does not work in the real world because everybody thinks that they are good, and people who disagree with them are evil. For that reason when I played GC2 I just mentally substituted Good=Libertarian and Evil=Socialist, this worked quite well with the humans being firmly in the middle, and the statist Yor being Evil along with the Corporatist Korx.

[quote quoting="post"] 1) What is the punishment for breaking the NDA and how strict are you in enforcing it? Will you look at it case by case or have one rule for every case? [/quote] NDA are enforced through the courts using lawyers. Outside of mega-mergers I have never heard of an NDA actually resulting in sanction of any kind. Your quote suggests that they are not using NDAs, which would be correct of them. It would be utterly absurd for a games company to
They screwed up the launch so the game never achieved critical mass. Its a shame, the Stardock games are some of my all time favorites, Sins, GC2, Politics Machine and Demigod, but they have a habit of bungling the launches, I pre-ordered elemental out of admiration for this company, but never got into it due to bungled launch. After that the community was so hostile to new players the community never grew. New players get the game,
These boys blatantly are taking the piss. On the light side we had these two plus ChekTM, all three with their 60%+. Then I join plus a couple of 40% somethings, and when I ask for 1up 1down I get told "If you want balance go to a noob room". Seriously?...........
If you like waiting in a lobby for 30 minutes then getting booted without a word because your a new player than yeah sure. Personally I think the way this community treats new players is a disgrace, and the reason the community has poisoned its own well. At my level (middle rank player) I'm comparatively well served for games, much better than the noobs and pros, but I am only sticking around until I can get into DOTA2.
Kingbingos three steps to greatness. 1: Play single player with the enhanced AI mod on until you are sure you are good. 2: Play some noobs and trash them. Get a decent %. 3: Use your decent % to get into some experienced games........ where you will be totally and utterly annihilated ....... then you watch the replays, this is when you really start to learn the game. Take it from me, if you have 200 games and you reg
Yes its an awesome game. Some of us have played 1,000s of matches its that good. BUT as visca said, make sure you play through the single player on a few characters, or your your get totally destroyed which will be less fun.
OMGIN - Having a row with another person??? It was not so long ago you would make a point of slating me in lobbies and even admitting you were doing it to provoke a reaction. I remember after one such session after you left everyone else agreed that you loved to argue and make things personal. I appreciate in my case you stopped, because I just stopped be bothered to respond at all, and its boring having an arguemnt by yourself. The point I'm
[quote who="pacov" reply="5" id="3033939"]I'm fairly confident Demigod will be making its way to Steam. [/quote] With servers or p2p you think?
Going on Steam?
Hi Guys, bought this at launch and quickly left the game behind. Not touched it since, but wonder now that the game is at 1.3 if its ready finally. So quick question: Is the game finally in a finished state, i.e. if it was released today would the critics consider it a finished product.
[quote who="pacov" reply="103" id="2982946"] I deleted your post. It should be obvious as to why it was inappropriate, even if you are frustrated.[/quote] I was not looking to steal their game, I have already paid for it, I just want to actually... Play it..... Tried the lobbies, they kept crashing, so a work in progress.
Stardock deleted my post asking if anyone had a link for a cracked .exe file so i can get games going on Gameranger. So they are reading, they just can't be bothered to update us, or tell us if the game will ever be coming back.
They do seem to like to remind us regularly that buying something from Stardock and actually expecting it to work is a stretch. Over a week and no response, it would have only taken them a few seconds to bang out a update, what the hell are they up to? Or maybe Stardock has gone bust, who knows.
[quote who="Plaguewraith" reply="65" id="2981278"] Hehe, yeah, that's why it does take so long: The bugfix & balance patch as a surprisefor the community, was more work than approximated. [/quote] [e digicons]:grin:[/e] As if.......
well I am on Gameranger if anyone wants a game
Yep, they finally killed it. I do love the values and approach these guys have, their engagement with the community. But their incompetence with bugs and networking has beaten this game into the ground from the first day.
Gameranger runs better than normal demigod network. Which I suppose is not a huge surprise.
This mod is superb, game changing. Is there any danger Stardock might incorporate and release as a update? Would save so many games for a player drop->insta concede.
The answer if anyone else ends up here wanting to know. Go to Impulse settings and detect applications.
I recently had to reinstall impulse. But now it can not see the games, even though they are in the same place they would be if I redownloaded. How can I force Impulse to see them?
So great there are guys like you doing all this work for all our benefit. Thanks so much.
[quote who="GonnaBeatYourAss" reply="55" id="2879328"] Just makes me pity them. Wow I knew you'd be a typical douche nozzle and post about the pre-game lobby antics. In fact KingBingo when I joined AJAX's game I was seated on the lightside with Lilthu 66%/AJAX 49%/Myself who just entered at 66%. I then noticed you sitting on the dark team all alone with your shit 44% and decided to move down to the dark team for balance. Out of nowhere you started to ju

Also, note that I did not create this thread. Nor did I even use the term stat whore.
