Other bugs I have found in the past few days. 1. No idea how vengeance works. The only time I got vengeance was when the hero died. Other units don't produce vengeance. 2. Ice wind is defaulting to the dwarf hero only. I have a yeti hero with that same ability but am unable to use the spell except n the dwarf army. Overall the hero's seem unbalanced. The dwarf lord is a one man army destroyer, polar vort
researched and then built war bands at a few cities, still can't make more than 1 troop at a time. Tech is broken. Ren
I have built a harbor, although i don't see it near the ocean, and my ship will not leave the town. When does the diplomatic victory come into play. Its just me and 1 computer left and we have all the treaties and non-aggression pacts. Ren
I have been unable to move onto former water spaces that I raised up, and all my units path around them. I have tried doing a 4x4 patch and still cannot move through the area. Ren
If you choose the ability where you start with a premade town, you cannot harvest food. Even if you have food producing areas within your realm and research Civilization (starts with Advanced farming) but you seem to lack the origional "farming" tech (ie. researching farming simply gives you farming improvments but 0 actual food are produced, presumably because +10% of 0 = 0) Happens everytime I start a game with this advantage.

I'm still downloading the latest version but here are some grognardish ideas. Various weapon types should give various advantages beyond simple damage. Clasically Pole weapons trumped cavalry and swords but were susceptible to archers or being flanked (until you get the Swiss Square formation). Archers were weak but cheap troops, very susceptible to arcery (up until crossbows and Longbows which were the "atom" bomb's of their times). Cavalry was fast but until you go
Concerning the ranged combat, I'm confused why you have a tactical weapon acting on a strategic scale. I can see that with magic (you have limited casters, ammo limitation with spell points, etc) but adding in a ranged combat seems very unbalanced (on the strategic scale). Its also potentially very unbalanced unless you are going to start limiting it with ammo, resupply, etc. Magic has built in limits, right now archery invites spam for strategic attacks (which based on the

There is a logic gap with Shards and magic specialization. Unless you are going to guarantee a shard of the chosen magic type being in proximity to a sovereign, its a crap shoot when you are choosing your magical specializations. Ideas 1. Allow magical mastery to be choosen AFTER finding a shard (ie. start with 3 generic slots to be choosen later). Could create suspense as you try to decide if you commit a slot to the first shard you find or hold off and hope
The troop photo is all white like there is severe glare. Changing troop backgrounds slightly changes the few dark pixels visible but its all whiteout.

Tonight after a few games, I'm suddenly unable to join another game due to this error message. No matter if I log out and log back in, still says I'm not logged in. I have to reboot the game just to play again. Its happened 4 times in a row now. Ren

WTF, who broke the game? AFter leaving a lobby or 2, I get the message that I'm not logged into the server and it won't let me join games. This is the 2nd time its happened to me today. I have to restart the entire game just to get it to recognize that I'm "there." Ren
I'm suddenly having problems with Pantheon locking up the game and crashing. Here's an example. This started about 1 day ago. Unhandled exception: invalid string position Program : C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Demigod\bin\Demigod.exe Cmd line arguments : Callstack: unavailable.

Except that there is absolutely no point to being on any particular side. You don't get any perks or bonuses or even a reward if your "team" wins. So they are just random PUG's with the DG pool restricted to a certain set. Its a meaningless distinction, and the lack of any auto-assignment feature simply adds further delay in getting a game going. Ren
Well I have to say I'll miss Frogboy's posts. As a doctor I've enjoyed the little glimpses into how games are made. I don't understand too much of it though, so I generally keep my comments to general ideas. In the end, if there is a fireball shooting across the screen, I don't care how you program it. I do empathize with your frustrations with people on the internet. In general, people suck on the internet. The lack of body language and the anonymity lea

Thanks to the new epoch you can't even tell the noobs anymore. Of course I'm 5/5 tonight for people ragequiting . . . its like why bother playing if the player base is just useless. Ren
Hmm, that graph confirms what I've found, it takes forever to get into a Pantheon game. Take the 2 player cut off mark and you can see how low your chances are of actually getting a game going in any 2 hour period. Yet sadly there are enough players, just not in the right distribution to make a 2v2 game. It screams for some sort of matching mechanism where people are randomly assigned to a side that is needing players. Ren
Well, given that miliary training is teaching you how to deal with Mass Kill situations, I don't know why Magic death is so special. Depending on your scenario you could have anything from personal talismans to activate in defense, minor cantrips the troops memorize, etc. Or it could be as basic as taking cover when you see lightning clouds or "always shoot at the guy with the pointy hat and stick" Unless you have a simplistic assumption about magic (it always works
Yes, this is one of those pathetic "I'm leaving" posts. This is an incredibly bittersweet decision for me. Few games have ever provided the emotional impact that Demigod has. From out and out cheering to vicious cursing, this game tugs at my emotions incredibly well. But the persistent flaws are just eating away at my actual enjoyment. First off I commend Stardock for sticking with this game. It had a terrible start and Stardock has had unrivaled customer
Grasp breaks your target lock. Its very frustrating to cast it, then watch as you do nothing afterwards because you are out of hand to hand range and you have no target selected for some asinine reason. Losing target locks is a common problem. I can't count how any times I've been chasing someone and suddenly I lock onto a flying minion and start chasing them. Very frustrating And how about the clipping problems with corners. Rook a
Just thinking some more, the Random techs are perfect for Quests. Say each level of Questing tech opens a rumored powerful tech or item (magic superfast exploding crossbow), after you successfully research it (again sort of like Sword of the Stars situational tech projects that let you take over neutral cyborgs) you find the location. Then you have to get to the location and beat the guardian (giving you exp and a neat tech or even tech tree like Unicorns). &nb
I agree the current system isn't very good. I loved the sword of the stars system but the UI was difficut for tech. Not only were the tech's relatively random (and there were usually 3-4 variants for any strategic bottlenecks like antimissile defense) but you didn't know more than 1 tech ahead of what you were researching. So every discovery was exciting as you rushed to see what new tech branch you had opened. Now there was a core set of vanilla techs that
You fixed the graphic problem for my action bar at the bottom. Everything looks good except Unit in the design unit area are all whited out (changing background or unit shape doesn't change the amount of white out). I actually got a sense of an economy! I could see unit costs and income!!!! No idea what trade does though. Any reason every town has a "create road" option (ie. doesn't seem to cost anything so I just activate it on both ends). Any re
I couldn't purchase Narmoth's ring. I had the money and a slot open but it was dark. The only artifact I had was the speed wand, can you not own both? Ren
I can connect to Custom games, but Pantheon won't connect at all today (16th). I'm in Dallas. Something is definitely different, I rarely had this problem with Pantheon before.
Man I'm loving the replay, I can finally see why things went the way they did. Persistent mistakes are the usual, losers are consistently buying high priced items and failure of people to adapt their builds to the enemy DG's Examples: We had a massive come from behind win that shouldn't have happened. Enemy Tower Rook, Oak, and Erebus were dominating the field and by level 10 had a strong hold on 1 of our portals. Yet by DG level 15 we were routinely
