After reviewing Demigod, we've had our eyes out on the game's site for cool updates. The developers are very devoted to their game, and their promise to add new demigods has come through!
"We also went into great detail on the 2 new demigods that are in development." Said 'FrogBoy', one of the most active developers in the community, "I am anticipating being able to go into significant detail on these in the next couple of weeks now that they’ve moved beyond a bunch of “assets” and are starting to come together." He added, "Tentatively we are looking at one general and one assassin. One will be of the forces of light and the other the forces of darkness. One will be melee oriented, the other projectile oriented."
Sounds great! A new general and a new assassin, one melee and one ranged, how much better does it get? Pretty balanced sounding. There are lots of updates to be added to the game, including replays, clans, and more. The list is long, so click Read More to find out about the update!
Here is the complete list, as seen on the DG forums:"For version 1.2 itself our list is:

Other things that are being discussed without a consensus yet:

- How do we make pantheon/skirmish games more flexible (1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.)
- Ways of handling pre-made teams
- Ways for hosts to ban people from joining their games. (personal ban lists)"
