Reply to Hidden Advantages in Demigod in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Thats why I said usually. You have to make a judgement in each situation, but what I'm saying is that more often then not the best choice is to be patient, buy currency, dont die, and win later on.

Reply to Hidden Advantages in Demigod in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Its usually worth it to accept a temporary disadvantage by buying Currency 1 instead of an item. You'll be behind for a few minutes but you won't die unless you do something stupid, so the worst that will happen is you'll fall a bit behind in war rank. You'll be back in the game and with advantage once the Currency has paid for itself.

There will be DG battles on Cataract too, and the winners of those will still gain the advantage. Again, the primary difference is that they happen later on once people have had a chance to gain some levels and items. Mixing up your map selection is good so you don't get sick of any given one, which is usually my motivation whenever I do in fact play Prison. The other thing I like about it is that there is no health flag that skews DG engagements for whichever team holds it at t

[quote who="Polynomial" reply="21" id="2303436"]I'm saying on Prison with more action than Cataract you need better timing and micro to effectively win a game where there are higher level people playing.[/quote] The action is faster paced in that the team battles start immediately instead of after several minutes of lane farming. That shouldn't lead you to conclude anything about timing or micro.

Reply to Top Demigods in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]I think UB is in fact the strongest, both by the numbers, and by personal experience. He has the Strongest, most efficient stun in the game. Stunning a Demigod for 2 seconds, while ALSO doing damage to them and draining a bit of health is amazing. It has no casting time, and ticks 2 seconds off of the Cooldown of spit. It is the only instant cast stun in the game (Closest second is boulder roll) and makes him ideal for ganking. He has the best group

[quote]Exactly. I love it when people come around. And the reasonable level of play is the level of play you'd reasonably expect most of your players to play at.

The "reasonable" level of play is not the same as perfect play, but nearly synonomous with "high level" play. Also, it

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="8" id="2302543"] No, No, No, No. If bad players can't counter something that is in fact perfectly counter-able, its not the game's problem. Not true either. Consider a ninth Demigod who had an ability that fired a moderate-speed projectile at an targeted place on the ground while painting a huge bullseye on the spot. This projectile if it hit any Demigod at the target location would kill it instantly. Balanced? Of

The Sedna is noob for taking Grace 2 that early. And for dying that early. Most of the builds in this thread only have a chance because of the level and money advantage... personally I think it would be better to brainstorm ways of countering something when you are even or behind.

The second and third articles are basically just clarifications of the first one, which is why everyone cites it. That article has been up for years and people still post new comments on it, so I think we can forgive him for not answering every single comment after all this time. I personally don't understand why everyone gets hung up on the Akuma example. He even said that he included it on purpose because it was so supportive of his points, so its not like someone has dug up an example that

Reply to Why not doubles? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I think Miya has already posed the argument adaquately. Tactics should be balanced around the maximum reasonable potential of those tactics, otherwise known as the "highest level of play." If a tactic is fair in a game between experts, then it is fair assuming near optimal play from both sides, then it is fair in general. If a tactic is not fair in a game between experts, then it is not fair assuming near optimal play from both sides, then it is not fair in general. Balance cannot be
