Tired of 2v2 yet?

from Demigod Forums

It seems that Pantheon is limited to 2vs2 games, and most of them on Crucible.

I personaly think it is a bad thing as Crucible is a very basic map, limited to direct confrontation. This not only limits players to one single aspect of the game, denying the strategic aspect of this game, but it also highlights the balance weaknesses of the classes by pitting them directly face to face. This is the case of all 2vs2, but is worse on Crucible, where a wrong mix of classes can mean the game was lost even as it started.

It seems to me a 4vs4 custom game has a lot more to offer to players. I find a good 4vs4 immensly richer and full of possibilities, I think this is where Demigod did better than most RTS's.

I agree. The Pantheon should offer a 4vs4 or a 3vs3 because I think that on 2vs2 only games there is not the action Demigod is capable to provide.

My pantehon matches in the latest tournament so far are 17 2v2 and 20 3v3 so 3v3 is more common for me.

It's a lucky enough thing for me. I can't play 3v3+, because of some bizzare lag-spiking glitch that has yet to be addressed.

I know... I played a LAN game... 2 human vs 2 AI was all good. Then we ran 2 human vs 3 AI and worked fine. Then 2 human + 2 AI vs 4 AI. Same computers every time. Last game was HORRIBLE. Shouldn't have been any lag, I would think, especially because no other computers were added. It was a LAN game every time with the same computers, both of which were completely capable of running the single player game all the way through. Game has been patched several times since then though... I'll try it again and report... Kinda got bummed out and the game has been sitting for a few weeks. I was going to tell all my friends to buy this game, but I couldn't even tell them it's a cool game confidently.

 

Had a friend that said he almost picked the game up. Said he stared at it on the shelf, but didn't grab it yet. I could have helped sell a copy, but he's going to wait until the game is fixed now, ;). Got another friend I know I could talk into getting this. If everyone is like me, once this game is fixed, it will sell as many copies again as it already has in the first week!
