The game runs on the same engine as SupCom (and runs more or less the same), which would not run well at all on your machine even on lowest settings.

Currently playing his on someone else's laptop. Liking it so far, if I can figure how to play properly I might just pick it up.
Seem like a bad time to ask about the online features. Hmm. Hopefully they will get things ironed out soon.
Make sure you guys post up impressions if you do get online.

Brad Wardell just put up a "status report" on the very first day of Demigod and assures people that they acknowledge the connectivity issues and are working to get them all smoothed out ASAP.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
These connection problems are really fucking bad.
The game is awesome though. Its a lot of fun from what I've played and the graphics look a lot better than I was expecting.

Great, everything was going so well, and now i can't use the impulse community stuff, and my game won't activate. Guess it might have to wait until tomorrow.
By the way, since I didn't do it in a neat format in my last post.

And I can't really play the game because the retail release seems pretty broken and I can't update.
Should've bought DD.
Nope, I bought DD and am having the same problem, their servers are getting hammered right now or something.

"Is there voice chat built in the game? Can't see a key bind in options for it."
Nein, though apparently neoseeker says it's confirmed to be coming in a patch.

Glad to see it getting good reviews, but that Neoseeker review is one of the worst I've read. Geeze, they should be embarrassed.

I'm curious, but it's too weird for me to buy without trying a demo first, so I'll wait for that.

i felt like i was cheating when i played regulus
best part is winding up a snipe while someone teleports home.. and it kills them at their base

GG, that game was freaking epic, you guys had us on the ropes for like the entire mid-game. We didn't really have a DPS demigod so Dionysus was able to just keep on us all game.
I think the trick for Regulus is really focusing on lots and lots of +attack speed and just auto attacking the shit out of people, he does a *lot* of damage. Also, getting enough +mana regen to stay in winged mode since that adds a lot of weapon damage.
And Queen of Thorns = <3
I think the chokepoint nature of that map made the match super long, but who cares, it was amazing. Performance was a little stuttery, not sure what that was about.
"It probably didn't help that I didn't realize you could buy equipment from the base until late game. ;("
Eh, it was your first time or so playing and they don't really mention it anywhere.

honestly guys I was laughing maniacally the last 3 minutes.
I was fortunate enough to realize that Tre was going support first, and I was just ready to build up slowly. You guys start to rush us and after our forts went down, I was a little bit worried. But Tekno's mad absorb skills bought me enough time to get my guy maxed out and do a serious rush at the end. Bought some items and then it got scary. And once you guys killed me at the citadel, I decided to buy armor.

I have a few questions-
Does your mana regen slower when you're further from your base?
Does having all 3 of your units summoned at once reduce mana regen?
Is there a way to quickly tell what of your three units are still alive other that trying to pick them out in the chaos?

1) Technically no. There's the health crystal in your base which increases your health and mana regen by a ridiculous amount (healing you completely in a few seconds), but you have to be within proximity of it.
2) No.
3) Sorta, when selected they have a ring underneath them like your demigod has. I'd like to see a bit of improvement on this, but it's something that'd have to be done carefully. Some characters (like Oak or Erebus) get an *absurd* amount of minions, not counting the minions summoned from idols. It would easily clutter up the UI if there was something like special minion health bars or portraits. Maybe a special, different colored outline would work.

I wish there was a demo or something.
Revolutionary said:I wish there was a demo or something.
There is one coming soon.
The more I play, the more I like it. I think this game achieves a crazy sort of Red Alert 2 style of balance, where everything is so overpowered they all kind of cancel each other out. Every Demigod I try is an unstoppable rampaging killing machine. So much fun.
I'm really digging on this game. I played through a few matches in the campaign before I hopped in a quick multi match last night. I played as the evil fairy (can't for the life of me remember her name).
After getting beaten on for most of the match, I finally had my bramble shield and ground spikes upgraded to such high levels that I was basically a powerhouse.
Waltz into the enemy numbers unscathed, upen up my flower, and kill everything within a 20ft radius
Hey DaFish, I may be able to get in a match with you tonight if you can play at around 6pm EST- you down?
