I really like the work and the drive to do these things, so please dont get me wrong

Great "project", but you mod seams to make everything much easier. The trick is to make things balanced, or harder?

Like the AI mod thats out now, WOW! I can play with just comps and still loose, hehe.

Not sure what you mean be "easier"... I'd say it is harder now. It is far easier to die, and far easier to get out built.

In a nutshell

1) Decreasing the cost of items (as in 1.1) ultimately really wasn't as great as increasing the flow of gold. It pretty much does the same thing with more flexibility. (items or cit upgrades?)
- Look a the flow of gold in normal Demigod; Everyone ends up mostly on 1500 to 1750 itemization, and saving for reinforcement upgrades most of the game. By the time reinforcements are fielded, you are so highly leveled, and so much gold is flowing in from giants and cata, the next step is to get more premium items. The game wasn't balanced really around this, and alot of Demigods suffer for it.

2) More cit upgrade options:
-You can't get all the upgrades, but depending on team composition, you really can do things like forgo Gold II and instead go early priests + armory, and make it really hard for the other team to hold flags. I don't think you are realizing how hard it is, even as UB with ooze, to fight off a wave of Armor II priests with TB right behind them fireballing your face.
-Counter dynamics: Demigod cit upgrades are far more offensive oriented now with the Armory costs reduced and gold output increased. There is actually reason now to upgrade tower strength or field angels... because you are getting your ass kicked by priests and demigods that kill creeps, so fielding your own is not going to help.

3) More itemization options
Most of the favor items are pretty self-explanatory. (some are not so obvious, like how coin purse with Gold II and Gold III producing an extra +2 per tick is far more valuable) But the subtle changes to Demigods and other items really do allow you to do things you can't in ordinary Demigod. You can play exactly as you can in normal demigod and do just as well, or you can go full minion or auto-attack. I also wouldn't say playing minions or doing auto-attack is any easier, but rather viable... eg: Sedna Occ and QoT are only now doing what LE and Oak can do in normal demigod.
-Also, some things just plain suck in normal demigod. Like desperate boots... for 4000 gold you are effectively getting a conditional 6% life boost vs white damage. Or how about iron walkers... completely bugged for Rook (buy and sell for 1000 free armor forever) but other than that is it really worth it to get a conditional 1000 armor for 2750 gold? Hell no.

Try the mod out and set up a Cata game like this
Each team has  1x total Random, 1x Random Assassin, 1x Random General
put 2 normal demigods on your team
put 1 nightmare and 2x normal demigods on the other team

You are going to see what the cit changes do now, because if you don't buy any, the nightmare demigod is going to tear your normal AIs a new one as they buy the basic upgrades. If you do spend, you are going to feel the effects of being behind on itemization.

If you get something lame like a nightmare DA, switch it to a Rook or Sedna next game.

Orion - I'll likely try to find all of my installer files in the near future and issue a refresh of the modding package.  Let me know if you have anything else you'd like added.  Thanks.

smeh - the files are gone...
