yeah I kinda like the concept of fighting together with others against another team but also NPCs, and beeing able to upgrade your own NPC forces.
It's kind of a mixture between pvp and coop.. (I love coop)

dota is a great map, i started to play like 2 months ago and i enjoy it very much, but it has a problem like demigod will have! we will always have leavers/retards play that will ruin a game.. and if u are not persistent u will get tired and stop playing.
this wouldnt happen in clan wars or friend wars. but i think its the only exeptions

Well, in demigod there will be ranked ladder matches, that autosave for disconnects. Like, if you have someone crash or disconnect, you go back to seconds before they disconnect. If people leave, they have to forfeit and lose ranking in the ladder - like dota leagues, but integrated. |

The thing is AwE, Chris Taylor is a really insightful guy with truckloads of great ideas.
When you read or listen to his interviews, hes got a great head on his shoulders. Though the list of GPG games is small
* Dungeon Siege - 2002
* Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna (expansion pack for Dungeon Siege) - 2003
* Dungeon Siege II - 2005
* Dungeon Siege II: Broken World (expansion Pack for Dungeon Siege 2) - 2006
* Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony (for the Sony PSP) - 2006
* Supreme Commander - 2007
* Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance - 2007
* Space Siege - 2008
* Demigod - 2009
I've really liked all of the games they've worked on. Supreme Commander was meh, but the ideas behind it were above and beyond great.
Also, trailer in HD

lets hope the best.
GGC empty?
there are always at least 15000 people playing dota.
Its really easy. download the client, in the settings enter your game path (f.e. D:\Games\WC3\war3.exe). click "run game".
Thats it.
don`t join bnet, join lan games.
There`s always a slight delay when you play bnet. you get used to it, but once you used ggc, theres no going back.
All the big clans use it, too. your play improves a lot, if you stick to highlvl/clanwar rooms.

No, see there is no games showing up in the LAN list (I know what Im doing with PCs, PLC works fine for hosting).
Eventually 1 non-dota game showed up... really not that good..

DotA is a custom map genre in Warcraft III series that pits 2 teams of players against eachother, aided by their AI armies that automatically march at the enemy base (usually along 3 paths).
The objective is, of course, to destroy the enemy base.

It may be worth playing, we can't say for sure - but the priority is multiplayer. They've stated they want it to be an uber balanced "skill" related game that can be played in tournaments much like DoTA should have been if it was a standalone game and had more corporate backing. DotA is played right now in smaller tournaments, but this is aiming for a bigger market.

Spending some more time with the LAN play, I've basically fallen in love. I went and played dota after spending some time and I can just see the insane potential of demigod. I really hope they add recipes though. I really think it would make the game way more epic.
There is just so much that can go right with this game that if they go wrong, I'll be shocked.
