Internet connection question

from Demigod Forums
I'm on satellite. I have decent speed, but there is a slight lag (~.5 sec). In a fps twitch fest, this could be enough to get me fragged. Will Demigod be more forgiving?

More forgiving than an FPS probably.. favorable is a probably not.

Well, considering that Demigod use the Sup Com engine where a 0.5 sec. delay between orders given and acts on the screen is forced online (for synch reasons between players I suppose), there might be a chance that you won't be affected at all :). Assuming that GPG's using the same method in DemiGod of course...

Smog, but I fail to see why they wouldn't, anyway.

Edit: But you'll be limited in number of fellow gamers in game due to poor sat bandwidth.

I would doubt they're using the same method.. at least for attack and skill orders.
It woudn't make sense in a comeptitive game where timing is important. :/

Syncing will be easier with dozens/hundreds of units instead of thousands.

Thanks guys. This is what I thought, but it's nice to hear someone else say it. Nothing to do really but try it out for myself. I look forward to meeting you on the battlefield. :)
