Demigod v1.3 Update

from JoeUser Forums

Gas Powered Games and Stardock are excited to release the v1.3 update for the popular real-time tactical strategy game, Demigod.  This update includes a host of fixes and improvements.

Fixes:

  • Abilities while moving fix: Demigod movement has been re-architected to resume attacking previous targets after using abilities. This fixes multiple problems with triggering Demigod abilities while moving.The following exceptions and modifications are by design:
  • Direct targeted abilities, where it makes sense, will cause the Demigod to switch targets (like Warp Strike and Pounce). This will also set the old target variable so if they use a further ability they will go back to attacking their new target.
  • Escape abilities (like Warp Scroll and Bat Swarm) will not re-engage the old target and will actually clear the old target so using another ability will not cause you to re-engage.
  • Giving a move order will clear your old target. So, giving a move order and then casting Warp Area will cause DA to attack whatever he ends up closest to.
  • Fix for ranged units stopping short when ordered to attack structures.
  • Fix for summoned minions not starting at max health when the player has +minion health items.
  • Fix for Oculus' Ball Lightning spawning in invalid locations.
  • Unclean Beast's Plague ability will no longer overwrite Post Mortem.
  • Wings of the Seraphim will no longer be removed when healed.
  • -Heart of Life effects will no longer be removed when healed.
  • Fix for obscure Russian-translated map domination crash. Thank you, Ptarth, for helping to point the way on that.

Improvements:

  • Achievement and Single Player tournament screen Demigod lists now have scrollbars.
  • Oculus’ Ball Lightning will now benefit from standard minion HitPoint Buffs.

Demigod customers can update to v1.3 via Impulse.

The Post Mortem doesn't give xp because it uses knock-back to kill (warriors & archers). Knock-back kills currently don't award xp.

I'm not 100% sure what you're saying. So Post Mortem works 100% now? If so great!

Ptarth:  You say nothing additional was changed then state they fixed Electrocution?   :|

 

To those who don't think this patch was enough:  Lickem.  With the minion fix and the Wings of the Seraphim fix QoT is finally viable!  Hurrah GPG/Stardock!

 

I look forward to more hopefully, but this one is good enough for me.

OMG I just clicked and told my Demigod to go somewhere and then used the wand of speed, and my Demigod didn't even stop!!!!!! :) WOOT.f

 

EDIT: WotS QoT? :D

P.S. Oak minion build just got a hell of a buff. :D

If I'm not mistaken, Electrocution is half fixed. They changed the buff multiplier to -1 which is mostly correct. However, it doesn't eliminate regeneration, what it does is adds a -100% modifier to regen. Normally this works as expected, however when a demigod has a +% multiplier to Energyregen or Regen (i.e, BattleCrown, Plate Visor, etc) the multipliers are added together. So if the BattleCrown granting +70% mana regeneration and the Electrocution defbuff were on the same Demigod, total Energyregen would be 70%, not 0%.

 

So, the text for "Electrocution" should say "Chain Lightning... reduces Health and Mana Regeneration by 100% for 10 sec"?

Yeah... before if you or your ally had bramble shield in effect, WotS would be negated if it absorbed damage but whatever they did to fix the healing changed that as well.

It won't help at all late game once the nukes get ridiculous, but early to midgame it will be brutal I would think.  Imagine me playing QoT and we're 2v2 against a couple of Europeans at the HP flag...

Euro #1: "How is can we not push thems off of these flag?!"

Euro #2: "Because they use thah shield then use thah healing aura... these is dildos!"

Er.. Huh. I could have sworn it was on the patch list.

I don't have a good short way to write the tooltip, it seems really easy to misinterpret.

That's a contradiction :D. So do Knock-back kills give XP or not? Or does Post Mortem give XP or not?

I pressed the right button on icon Impulse below, then click Check for updates. I now have the momentum does not run!

It should retrieve the latest data.  After a while, demigod should list "update available."  Right-Click and select update.

Patches always break replays. Replays are just recordings of the commands each player sends. When you execute a replay, it is actually re - played... ;). Meaning that if you made any changes to the game since the replay was recorded, the out come of the replay will be completely different or not even compatible.

Ok, I understand it but we lose many great game replays. I'm sorry that does not work....

Err.. are you just referring to Oak's minions now starting @ proper hp values or WotS + Oak's minions?  Hopefully not the latter, as WotS affects demigods only ;)

I wonder if WotS stacks.... Oak/Queen/Sedna team would never die with double wots and blood soaked wand mwahahah!
