The only problem is that this Demigod would be easily countered with a new opposing skill called a "Get a Job", the Demigod cowers in fear retreating to their base.

That's an Obama Level 15 skill, though, after maxing out Bailout and Stimulus Package. If Unmarried Mother of Ethnic Origins from a Disadvantage Background gets maxes out Social Security Drain and gets the Social Security for Life level 15 skill, you're screwed. All she has to do is pop out more babies and she'll just take more gold from everyone.

Is it really worth specing into? You would have to skip out on the "Reformed Health Care" Debuff Aura, opposing Demigods are allowed to take health/mana potions for free, but there is only 1 rank, it heals for 1000 HP and has a 10 second cast time.

Ah but if she relies on it too much the Social Security might collapse and then she'll have nothing.

...resulting in the ragequits of everyone. Hm, I see your point. She'd definitely have to diversify. Putting some points into WIC and Foodstamps should complement her minion build.

Chevelleking: I definitely think it would have to depend on the situation. If the other team has more than one Unmarried Mother of Ethnic Origins from a Disadvantage Background, then going for a full Get a Job build would definitely be better. Otherwise it's probably not worth spending 9 skill points on just that.

Although, if you have both an Obama and an Unmarried Mother of Ethnic Origins from a Disadvantage Background on your team, they would have great group synergy.

Are all you guys seriously complaining about all the opportunities you missed by not being born poor or by not becoming welfare mothers?  Pathetic.

We're totally stomping those nations with socialized health care!  Honestly, why do you feel our system is so effective?  I'm not being facetious, I honestly don't understand it.  Look at the CIA factobook on infant mortality rates:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html

We're behind pretty much every European country we make fun of for having socialized medicine, we're behind Canada too.  If you're not rich, I don't see any metric that could possibly convince someone that our system is better than what you're making fun of.  

Even if you are rich it's not as though you can't buy better health care than your fellow countrymen in those countries anyway.  One of my friends in Holland is very rich and he picks and chooses the services he wants to acquire through the public system and pay for on his own.

Seriously, if you have any articles or books (that are in paperback, 30 bucks a pop is too much) that defend our current system then link them.  I'll read em.'  The only argument I've seen against it is that we can't afford it, which may be totally true, I really wouldn't know.  If it is true though, I'd really like to know how those other countries afford theirs.

On a sidenote, I'm a veteran and my health care in the military was pretty good, better than my Blue Cross Blue Shield healthcare I now have.  I just don't understand you guys.

"Well, at least you can thank your lucky stars that we don't live in Paraguay!"

They know their trapped in an heartless monster of a system, so they insult thous who have it better in a vain attempt to hold on to what they think is something to be proud off in this county.

Um, I thought this thread was about 2 new female Demigods?

Seriously speaking I doubt I'm the only one who thinks those two new DGs should be females and assassins. But I like how this thread turned out. Little humour is only a good thing!

Um, I thought this thread was about 2 new female Demigods? 

Back on topic, if there's going to be a ninja type assassin, I'd love to see it be a japanese demon of some time rather than a traditional ninja.  -not tmy picture btw

There's no reason why you couldn't just give it all the traditional ninja/samurai abilities, though I really hope they don't put stealth or invisibility in the game (unless they add in massive changes to all the existing DGs to deal with it, which seems unlikely).

It's all in humor, you shouldn't get so worked up about it.

I'm all for better healthcare, especially to alleviate the US infant mortality rate, its very bad here.

But isn't that why WIC is there for?

I couldn't care less if they're male or female, as long as they've got interesting playstyles and good balance.

The joke was a thinly veiled knock on the idea that public health care changes would be a good thing.  I mean the presentation may have been facetious but the comments themselves were obviously quit earnest.

Say I had responded that the GW Bush DG would spawn two new enemy DGs each time it defeated one, would that seem like just a joke to you or an expression of my actual opinion?

Lol, that would be a joke to me too, because I laughed.

It is like futurama and family guy, poking at the truth with humor may they be right or wrong.

You know... that skill might be very OP, because the newly spawned DG would be AI for sure, and they would feed. Bush should be able to switch Sr. or Jr. mode.

On a more serious note...

I hope they do have some more asian demigod. Curently they have... none. Is UB african? I think TB is more persian-like actually... maybe that's their idea of an asian. (it would help demigod sell in asia?)

However, at this rate the asian DG would probably be very stereotypical american-asian design... don't want. Or, maybe the designer just never had a chance to display his/her high level skill on asian design, which would be wonderful.

Last thing I want to see is ninja wearing chi-pao ("chinese" dress so called, even though it really isn't that "traditional" of a chinese clothing) using needles that look like QoT a whole lot.

Hmm, I must have automatically filter that out of my brain. I don't remember seeing it, yet I read almost everything in this thread.

That does sound quite racist, however I can't say that I am very aware of racist issues.

the next 4 demis  only one is female and  she seems to be a gen

Please don't be ridiculous.  You know you're going to have to provide links to a source for that tid-bit of info you just dropped there.

These images have been around for quite a while.

Ok, that makes it worse.  "Official" art, but no way to confirm/deny those are the next four DGs. Argh.

well art tends to mean there going with the idea so  u can be pretty certain were getting 2 of them  i would like  the diamond guy

You can view the Occulus mesh already. Its still only placeholder art though.

The "Whiptail" and "Ent" from that thread are the Catapaultosaurus and shambler respectively.

You can actually get occulus in game. Just a gold-colored version of the mesh above. He has no stats or abilities though, has a vision range of 1, and dies in a hit or two from towers, though. Oh, and he doesn't respawn.
