Demigod

You're a demigod who want more and that will not be easy if we developer Gas Powered Games should believe. They come with demigod, this time not with Chris Taylor at the helm, but John Comes.

Gas Powered Games and Chris Taylor we know of the gigantic real-time strategy game Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, but also of Dungeon Siege. With demigod wants John Comes, lead designer of the game, responding to the mods released for RTS games. Something that according to him by RTS game designers far too little has been done, but first person shooters with great success has been made, but look to Counter Strike. Demigod look at the mods that came out for Warcraft III and especially to the popular Defense of the Ancients (DotA). DotA is a lot of games worldwide and is even available at many E-sport tournament.

In demigod you're a demigod who actually want to be a real god and let there now just one vacancy. To achieve this you do not get ga on interview, but you'll need a lot of chopping. So much for the story, because there is simply not (yet) known. What matters is that you with your gigantic character as much as possible enemies to pulp saves in the fik dollars vergast or through hordes of your own troops in the pan hakt.

None singleplayer campaign


There are no plans for a demigod singleplayer campaign giving. You can still fight against bots, but that is not the goal of the game. This game revolves mainly to the rubble to process online opponents. Because opponents to beat, you get gold and experience and you can turn all nice things. With gold you can potions, amulets and rings buy and with experience can be in your demigod or manipulated.

There are two types halfgoden: Assassin, close combat specialist, and the General in the tackle from a distance and has its own troops. Generals may siege units, melee, and ranged flying units deploy. The Assassin army is an army in his own, but can still defensive buildings with gold drop. He has also forces that are particularly destructive, while the general has many forces that are better army.

Private forces and weaknesses

You need players choose a demigod and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. A case in point is smoke, actually a foot castle with catapults in the geschutstorens and a giant hammer. Torch Of which, as its name suggests, to the fires. Torch has a complete arsenal of fire and ice spells. In Defense of the Ancients have your choice of more than ninety heroes. How much this is going to be a demigod is not yet precisely known.

In demigod it is intended that the basis of the enemy sloopt. This sounds easier than it is, because each side has portals where an endless stream of flowing forces from and in addition there is obviously still a demigod around.

Half an hour

Fortunately for the player who likes to attack without too much reflection, you can not just demigod death. Should he fall in battle, then after a while he appears again in your base, as there still is, of course. Gas Powered Games makes the game so that you simultaneously with multiple players can play without that lasts hours. An average pot should be about half hours.

Gas Powered Games develops demigod completely independently and is planning for the game to give especially through services like Steam and Direct2Drive, but a simple version is not excluded. Chris Taylor does not directly participate in this title and has more the role of adviser and manager.

Gas Powered Games hopes with a demigod to achieve success by looking at mods and here the best of it. Pair this with the impressive Supreme Commander-engine, a completely independent way of development and you can not but hope that the game quickly suits.

I just transgoogled this from Dutch2English so it may not be that perfect, heh. So as you read, they have been spying on us the last few years and based this pure on DotA, which sucks o.0

I believe I read it somewhere before, i think it was a magazine, that the creator himself said that the game was inspired by dota.

True, dota has hardly anything original in it but it sure is fun.

From wikipedia: Demigod is a RTS video game currently under development by Gas Powered Games, the creators of Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege. The gameplay consists of elements borrowed from both of those genres and is described as an action/RPG/RTS hybrid partly inspired by the Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients. The game gives the player the ability to choose certain heroes that rely on either their own power as a single unit or the power of creating multiple units.[2]

It doesn't matter to me if it's inspired from Dota. All I care if the game will be good and is much better than Dota (I didn't like Dota), otherwise I'm not buying it.

If it's based around dota, it'll draw dota players away from wc3.

It suits my needs in the sense that I can still play DotA via Demigod, and that people on wc3 will stop complaining about DotA.

Wow, while I was reading it I was starting to think "Wow, TDB is retarded when it comes to grammar"

But that last bit explains alot

I think you should've skimmed through it and fixed it up anyway, because there are a few things that were difficult to understand

Play CoH, Panzers, Blitzkrieg, W40k DW. Those are all good strategies.
Not some game where it all comes down to click your mouse to death.
