signed! i suggested this some months ago ^^ but good idea with the calculation of the award, i didnt think that far :)
nice idea, i´d like to see this ingame :) maybe - if the pathfinding wont work with animated walls etc - you do all the moving parts in the background and maybe some in the foreground and the map itself is not moving.
after waiting for a long time to get a game going, i decided to play an 1on1 versus my mate. while i clicked "launch game" i saw a player showing up in the connection information window. so he was connecting to the game, but not in the lobby yet. the game started without him, cause he wasnt even in the lobby, but he appears in the gameslist there: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/813782/player/38042/ really strange :P maybe related or not: if i unready myself some seconds bef
signed. i see this all over the place for the last days.
till now, i thought it was 3 minutes ingame time -.- frogboy told something like that in journals, didn´t he? sry blend...
when the game is pretty laggy and there is 1:30 min ingame counted, but 6min real time, the team who concedes gets a loss, although the game is at 1:30 ingame... pretty much sucks! well,i´ve got the win, but its just another example of bad stats :( thats the game i was speaking of: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/game/815718/player/38042/
we´ve played 3on3, all with nice pings, nice sim speed and the game was running smooth. in the middle of the game, as we turned the tide, the game just closes to desktop on my machine and on the machine of a mate. all others were still remaining in the game. no error message, nothing, but i did get a loss of course! yeah, nice game, once again!
another great example: http://pantheon.demigodthegame.com/player/59880/ take a look at the gameslist ;)
whats worse than an AI are retarded noobs in your team who play for the first time... really great to get bashed cause of those XXXXX.
i know there are bigger problems around, but i guess that one is fixed in under 5 minutes, so please, just do it... just change the "back to main menu" button after a played multiplayer game. thats just a link right?! seriously, whats the sense of getting back to the main menu, forced to login again and finaly arrive where i´d like to?! after a custom game send the people to the custom games lobby, after a pantheon send them
a standard ingame ranking system should be the best solution. plus a host-leaves-bug fix. i mean, every game has such a thing, its just normal. why not here? i play in windowed mode for some time now to be able to check the stats at the pantheon page without alt-tab-crashing, but thats annoying too. edit: nice pics!
i´ve got the second game now where i and 2 humans had to play against 3 ai :P at least it counts towards statistics, but no good games this way :( edit: make that 4 games. last game was pretty nice: me with 2 ai vs 3 ai... WTF?!
i´ve played many games where simspeed and even the pings where fine (below 100 for the pings and above 5 for the sims), but still lagged like hell. i guess there is always atleast one bastard in the game who causes trouble..
if all players are online there should be a function in the game to synchronize them again so that they can finish the game.
ither you have a really bad framerate or you have a bad connection. the first would suggest that your system is to low, or your graphics settings are to high. the second would suggest that your connection isn´t good enough. test the framerate by playing singleplayer. if you already have problems there you really should lower the graphics settings. as the others said already, demigod has much higher requirements than wow or wc3. &nbs
I´ve watched Skirmish and Pantheon for a couple of days and every time i had joined one of those I was the only person playing... and there are quite less custom games online too plus it takes way more time to get a game going. whats wrong with the community? finaly the game is working for the most time and now they run away?!
had this kind of bugs with previous version, too. but kind of randomly. and as far as i can say i´ve experienced this with all characters
it´s p2p so it doesn´t matter. expect for the stats...

well than just rename "noobs" and "pros" in low and high ranked players.
i´ve got unhanlded exceptions without anyone leaving after playing in a game for 1 hour or more....
some mistakes in your post: custom games were included in ladder before the 1.1 patch too. bashing noobs gets way less experience than playing against pros. playing against AI doesn´t count into statistics.
maybe he isn´t that easy to play or you just got bad mates. i think for the most part the demigods are balanced
signed. i´m always wondering why players with 11 games and 3 wins join my games with titles as "advanced", "experienced" or "pro". usually i check their stats and than ask them if they are sure to be in the right game... most of the time they think they are, even if i tell them their stats look like a noob! so i let them join the other team., cause i dont want them to make me loose. after bashing them i´m asking in ingame chat if they still f
