Demi-gods, review + QnA

alright, it has been a stretch of time since the demi-gods have been released, so I think its about time to see what people think about the finer details and ask any related questions (I'll supply an answer, although weather it's what you are looking for may be a different matter entirely ;) ).

So more or less i want to know what people think about:
The stats the demi's give (bonuses etc), more importantly if its balanced or not.
how many demis people can hold (more or less or keep as is)
how many demis they can equip (more or less or keep as is)
max level they can be increased to + the cost of increasing them.
And anything i have missed that should be otherwise included for discussion.

Just remember this is a review, fresh ideas should have there separate thread in suggestions.

Re: Demi-gods, review + QnA

once i finally got the lil bugger to properly equip,
i have not tried to turn it off.
Bonus to Covert.
Cost to Attack...
But i usually stick to a puny strike anyway.

Re: Demi-gods, review + QnA

I have 2 demi gods and one is Tier: 3 Skill level: 2 with the following Ability:
Increased command star attack and defence--4.86%
Decreased covert--5.26%

And my second one is Tier: 1 Skill level: 3 with the following Ability:
Increased covert--5.13%
Decreased income--4%

When i upgraded my tier 3 one none of my stats went up but when i upgraded my level 1 demi my stats improved...my next level is going to cost me 11,340,000,000,000,000 Dark Matter Units but if they was no upgraded the last time around i don't see the point of spending all that DMU for nothing...is it just my rubbish demi god or is they a bug i don't know about ](*,)
Also i have used alot of turns and used every type of attack for the last few weeks and i have not been able to find anymore demi gods...I have decended over 11 people hoping to get a demi god that way but nothing...maybe you could make it so that you get a demi god if you deascend someone with a 1 in 10 chance of getting one.

Re: Demi-gods, review + QnA

Re: Demi-gods, review + QnA

Right now, Demis are fun to have, while not entirely game changing. This is good, because if they were game changing, they would be overpowered. Remember when planets were introduced in Main and people relied on planets alone to provide their strike? The way these demis are introduced, this kind of excess is prevented. I think Sol chose correctly. :)

Re: Demi-gods, review + QnA

I dont really give a crap about how often you find them, that wont change, or what ones you have.

@guild, i was considering the few options of what increases or decreases when a demi is updated, but i stuck with the dual increase, to actually get people thinking about how to use them.

As for the price and how much they actually increase, i didn't want to give them a major increase, as for the cost, well this is a permanent increase to whatever after all. Considering when you ascend you get an increase of 1% to all stats plus a bit for AB, after sacrificing a large amount of resources, then i don't see why you should start **Filtered** about the cost of half a farm runs worth of dmu, even if its just .5 of a percent for one stat ;)
Ya know you don't have to upgrade as well, if you think it's not worth it.

Your a real piece of work ...

One of the things that realy sticks out concerning the demis ... of which you say you have NOT changed since the beginning ...

I dont know it, seems I can no longer find them/get requests.

If you dont know it then perhaps you should consider reading the updates of the game you play

* You can only choose 6 Demi's to be in constant contact with.
* You can only have a maximum of 6 Demi requests, anymore and no Demi will send you one.

If you have 6 then you wont receive anymore.

Yrs it is realy in reading the updates :\
How about, if not everyone has 6 we cant realy judge its effect IF you have 6.

I had 6 over a month ago ... deleted 4 useless ones (weeks ago) .. never got requests for new.

It was from one day to another, first I got a request every other day, and suddenly I didnt got requests anymore.

I mentioned this to you weeks ago too. And still did not get any new requests in the mean time.
Its not that I need or want or must have new ones....

It just stuck out majorly that one week I got one every other day ... and now (for weeks) I cant find any anymore ...

When i had it on the beta, im pretty sure people would have spotted out a bug like that quite fast seeing as you could get a demi every 5 or so attacks.
Just remember the more you have the less likely you will find another, cant find two the same remember :roll:

Point is, I only have 2 atm ... the first two ones I got, I still got them .. I had received 4 after them ... and eventually deleted them 4 a couple of weeks ago .. no new requests after that.

It's about as likely as admin removing the black market.
