I've had horrible, horrible customer support with them. Their DRM has crippled 1 disk drive and forced me to do a restore on my computer. Their games are a pain to fully remove. The last game I bought was Battlefield 2142 - which I couldn't even play, as the patch caused my computer to crash when loading the map. I couldn't return it either, as the cd-key was registered onto my account. Upon contacting their online support about the map crashing, I

I worry about having too many Demigods because it dilutes the impact of each one (in GalCiv we kept adding races and people stopped really having a "favorite"). I think this was caused by not having much of a history for each race, and races appearing too similiar. Races played too much like each other, too. Planets built mostly the same way, and combat was almost always who had the bigger ship. Galciv3 should improve it a lot though,

[qoute]I would like the demo players to be able to play online with legitimate players. [/qoute] If you have that, you must have every demigod - if you do not, than players may start hiping on the single demigod, refusing to play with them as they're often "newbies" and so on. That's just one of the many problems. I'd say 1 of 3 arenas - 2v2, 1v1, and 4v4. This gives players a good range of maps, not limiting them to a "Nub map", and shows them how the game plays w

[quote who="vindKtiv" reply="25" id="2176665"] Not by a longshot. Communities vary. Dota is agreed by most to be one of the worst. Definitely, I have never found such an over-competitive bunch of dbags. I think it has something to do with the game, where it takes so long to master that you feel as if you are entitled to bragging rights. I know all of my friends turn into huge dbags the minute they fire up WarCraft III.[/quote] When I played warcraf

Wc3 melee games are hosted upon servers, which players connect to. In custom games, all players connect to a single server(the host), in which the host sends information to all the other players. Player(2) and player(3) don't communicate directly I believe. If the host goes down, than the game searches for a new one. If it can't find one, than the game ends. Demigod works by sending information to everyone - no? Instead of relaying most

Tatertot - While they are bringing back heroes, it is a custom-map only option. Melee games won't have them. The thing I'm looking forward to is the Scum Editor - however don't expect to have tons of new freedoms compared to wc3 World Editor. For starters, it's going to have a lot of options disabled until the expansion.

map11_wall_04_d.dds Demigod\bindata\maps\MAP11\textures And risk - badly tiled textures is just a pet peeve of mine in games. Because this texture was smack-dab in the middle of other used ( I think) I thought this one was too. Thus the topic and the recent urge to go crawl under a rock for making it :p

Oh common you damn texture artists, you're supposed to be good at what you do. When looking around in the textures, what do I find? http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8933/tex01.jpg See it? Here, let me zoom that in for you. <a class="linkification-ext" title="Linkification: http://img9.i

I think Demigod should be on the GamersGate digital distribution services. Oh god, not that thing.. Ordered one game from it a long time ago. When the game was released, gamers gate released it a week late. Of course, they messed this part up to. They released half of the game. Yup, it wouldn't install correctly. It took another week (And mind you, they sent several "Try redownloading" emails!) before they finally fixed

ITEMS: Temporary Armies : These items would be rare and expensive (possibly artifact or random item on battlefield) which spawns 5-10 units onto the battlefield for 30 seconds. Item Sets: When holding 2+ items of the same set, you begin gaining major bonuses from them. The more items from the set, the more bonuses. This one was inspired from Diablo 2. To further clarify, an item set is basically a collection of unique items which belonged to a powerful
