The builds in demigod are pretty fixed untill ballance changes are made , for most demigods there is only 1 or 2 viable builds oak may have 3 though. If your vsing teir 1 demigods the best build is assiassin oak up to a lest level 10 then you have a few options what to do after that. I have to say after i saw the bolded "i dont need penitance" i did not read the opening post, you dont need to take a lot of skills but you will want to if you want your build to be any go

If you have non ideal ballance (e.g. demigod) one of the benifits is that having overpowered factions/demigods is it simplifies the metagame (eg stuff you need to know to be good at the game). In demigod the meta game is built around LE (and possibly UB or Oak) you should only be playing stuff that can compete against the LE in the opposing team, OAK and UG do a good job and have builds where they force LE to compete where they can have even power and it all works out reletivly even.

[quote who="Epiphenomenon" reply="8" id="2458050"]You don't have to kill any Demigods in order to win a game on Conquest mode. In fact, there ought to be zero deaths in the highest levels of play. Whether a Demigod is unkillable or not is irrelevate to whether he is overpowered.[/quote] That there is just plain not right, first of all dieing to put up a flag lock is sometimes expected and the death is considered worth while and also if you are harder to kill you can do risky things th

I think it was been established that erebus is the best demigod, though both Oak and UB have builds that can counter erebus so they all compete at a prety even level (and level 3 shield is gamebreaking on cirtian maps). How overpowered he is depends on wether you are comparing using teams viable in the current meta (for a 3vs3 at least 2 of LE, Oak or UB and then you can have one of sedna, rook or and ice tb build (dont know if you can add occulas or DA here yet)) or comaring hi

[quote]He seems to be in the same vein as Erebus: a character for an aggressive play style.[/quote] Erebus only playes that agressive be he is very overpowered compared to the weak demigods, erebus can full most roles though there are similarys in erebus and DA ganking. DA only have the burst damage to kill the squishy demigods and fails to be able to theaten the strong ones, HP stacking is just too good.

[quote who="NeutralGood" reply="21" id="2455046"] By level 10 MOST games are already decided. And sure reg and tb get better after 10 but not so much so that they can really stop da or erebus. The point is that tb reg and qot are soo far down the totem poll there is no reason to even use them now. Erebus oak ub Tier 1. Rook sedna DA Tier 2. tb reg qot tier 3. Sure a 4v4 game benefits more from a tb or reg, but in a 4v4 game the chances of there being a ere

Ironrock you are aware that the reason this game is peer-to-peer is because it was made using the supcom engine wich was a simulated game, as is demigod. As far as i know gpg has no games that use client-server connections and have no reson to invest in that modle as would not benifit there other games. Because supcom was simulated and due to bandwith limitaion the games needed to be syncronised as live updates of the position of every unit would have been beyond any connection, thoug

[quote who="NeutralGood" reply="18" id="2454574"]The point isnt what Reg and Tb are against the OTHER DG. It's how DA makes them totally worthless. @nzac fire tb is totally worthless agaisnt da early to mid game. ice doesn't do much better. iice has no real way of stopping him, and even with slows da is faster then him. My point is that these demigods should have been designed to stop erebus and oak and be weak against tb reg and QOT. That would hav

I dont think much has changed, reg is gone from being weak and pretty useless (ie not compditively playerble) to a useless feeder (ie not compditively playerble) we never really had this demigod. Fire tb is pretty much the same vs top demigods though probably can out dps DA. I dont think ice tb is hurt too much by either demigod he has to play a suport role vs top teir demigods anyway. As far as im concerned ballance is not even close to the level it could be and large numbers

XaviorsFist your either playing badly or you should be saying that occulas is too underpowered and is forced to run every time from the Teir 1 demigods (i dont think this is at all true, but yes they are still stronger). Being able to run away from a 1vs1 fight is towards the bottom of the list of how a demigod so be selected, rook is many times worse than occulas at running away and he is still a playerble demigod. Occulas is the best farmer in the game (with tb as a close se

All most all single player games have cheets/exploits that you can use if you want to. Are you complaining? if you really want to feel you have earnt the points you could change the config file back to what you should have, (it only matters to you how much favor you have in single player.) I dont think this was intended it just happened, does anyone know a way to quit the game wihout getting favor....

Do you have any idea how much money this would cost a lot of people to make this work, with the current staff working on demigod this would take 5 years (this might even be optimistic) and people having to re-download the game (well maybe just the engine) and the connectivity would be worse than we currently have and desyncs are not due to the peer-to-peer connections either.

The most accurate way with current rankings to tell how good a player is to look there games list (20 to 40 is needed). If the front page is mostly green and does not have any pathanon or noob games on it then they will at the very least be compitant players. This is only realy useful, due to the time required to do this, and i can only be bothered to use it to test someones creditibilty on the forum. I have to say this if you start of with a group of players with above 50 per

I would say the most important thing in any fight is to work out who is going to win it as soon as possible, and if this is not possible then you need to consider wether the risk is worth it (will you gain a lot from winning it or be at a rather big dissadvantage if you loose it). Then decide to retreate or fight. Vs LE and UB with a oak no one should be dieing for least a full sheild durration (6 secs). There is little point going minions vs either of these demigods meaing that you s

Well wait for the 1.2 patch before writing this thread. You are blaming the latest version of demigod right before the next version comes out, come on tomorrow (hopefully) your problems could be fixed. I think ryanheart had the same problems before he left, wait for the changelog to see if your problem has been fixed. You sure nothing else changed? Would not like to see you leave, we need all the players we can to join AUS games.

You have to assume that the team vsing oak/sedna would take anti oak/sedna builds so there would be a large ammount of minions on the other team (oaks not the best vs hp stacked minions either). Due to sedna and oak's lack of high damage aoe horn of battle would have little effect on a fight, 10 regen is pretty trivial in general vs general battles. Without pounce erebus can come pretty close to being able regen back all the dps that sedna can put out by about level 7 to 10 and from m

When i thought about i beleve that in the narrow situation for 2vs2 on cataract (this may have been in implied in op), this pair have undeniable enermy portal locking power, both are capible of getting out 2vs1 with the portals locked, erebus may be just as good at this though. Without relitively vonerable portals, ill still stick with my first responce that sedna just does not quite cut it dps wise.

I think Ke5trel's build he posted a while back does what you are trying to do much better. the first level of penance is just to expencive for anything other than an interupt wich this build is unlikely to have any use for early on.

You forget to mention that untill towers are upgraded with aoe this build will be able to take them out quickly without taking damage. It will force them to spend 500 on upgrades really early in the game or they will loose there towers rather quickly.

In my opinion, a strong minion build is almost a hard counter to reg, moral would just be overkill. As long as you use some minimal micro so you minons are surrounding reg his aoe abitys are not good enough to kill them before taking a large ammount of damage. Without large ammounts of health stacking and priest regen, minion dps will will be able to force reg back to the towers fairly quickly and keep him under the towers allowing you to have the flag. Reg appears to have no

Unless you want to divide this up specific situations, im fairly shure it will begin and end with erebus on who is the best demigod. UB (in UB/Oak teams) could also be considered the best.
