We really should all vote for this. It will only help us and payback Stardock the group of jerks we've been

I like demigod. That´s a fact.

But I won´t vote a game for "best strategy game", which isn´t a strategy game at all. In my mind it is an action-rpg-tactic game. There´s no strategy involved in this game. You level and gain money by slaying opponents like in any other RPG. You chosse different skills in different pathes like in other ation-rpg´s like Diablo. There´s no base building, you only control one unit or a handful of minions in addition. The maps are limited in scale, there´s no cover or anything similar like i.e. in CoH.

I don´t see the point to call this game a "strategy" game. So no vote here

Individual units with an emphasis on micro-management makes it fall under the umbrella of tactical game (ala mech commander) rather than a strategy game (ala supcom). The level of "thinking" required is irrelevant.

Starcraft and DoW would both fall under Strategy games in my eyes as they involve economics, base building, army compositions, deployment strategies, logistics etc

DoW2 however as an example would be an RTT as the emphasis is switched to individual unit control and micro-management with a focus on small scale battles centred around POCs.

Its a very subjective line and everyone is different...however something like Demigod would be in most peoples eyes (at least those who understand the concepts of strategy vs tactics) a Tactical game.

If you don't think so, more power to ya, we all have our opinions.

Warhammer is also completely broken in terms of balance.

It really only helps out the community if Demigod wins.

Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements.

What are you talking about?

Voted.

Also, guys, who cares what exact genre Demigod is. If you like the game, vote it! Hopefully it'll win and we'll see a growth spurt in the number of players. If this community stagnates, we'll soon see complete abandonment from GPG.

Quit throwing around stuff like "DG is a strategy........stfu, DG is tactical".

It is IRRELEVANT. Do you like this game? Do you want it to get better? Then quit arguing and start voting for (demi)god's sake. This is not a thread to discuss what type of game DG is.

It is only relevant when you don't want the game to succeed, or haven't played it yet. Think of Eurovision, where contestants from all over Europe come and sing. The winner gets voted by people from all of Europe's countries. People from Germany ar ALWAYS going to vote for the german participant. Same goes to france, spain or any other country. They are not voting someone for their actual talent. They are voting to SUPPORT him/her.

Same goes here, the purpose is to promote demigod, and help it out. Not quarrel about what category of game it is or weather some other game is better. Granted, DG is not the best game in the world, and I wouldn't exactly call it a strategy. But that is NOT the issue here. Do you want the game to get better and get more attention? Then just vote. Don't over think it, just vote. If you don't like it, and don't want to help it, I really don't see why you are replying on this thread.

You missunderstand. I am not saying you were wrong saying that it is not a strategy game, as I tend to agree that it isn't. That is the guys at X-play's fault for putting DG in the wrong category. All I am saying is that I only see the opportunity to promote the game here. If you don't want to vote the game out of principle (not being a strategy) that's ok. Do whatever you think is right. Vote whatever game you think diserves the best strategy title. All I know is that I voted DG, and encourage other people to do so.

Good game.. but best stratergy?... answer..NO
