It has been a long seven months since Demigod’s release, but now, finally, in the latest Demigod patch, Stardock/GPG have unleashed a new hero on the community: the “Demon Assassin”.

Check out the complete patch notes after jump.

• New Demigod added: The Demon Assassin.
• New AI option in multiplayer: The host can set what the death of an AI player does in terms of how much gold and XP players receive.
• New AI option: How much HP do Demigods get by default (very high, high, normal, low).
• Modding Manager. Demigod now supports modding. We will be releasing mod samples in the next couple of weeks to get the ball rolling.
• Mod System. Mods are treated in the game like options. If all players have a given mod installed and the host of the game has it enabled, it is used in the game.
• Fixes to desync issues (thank you to users who sent in data) and other problems reported.
• Citadel Upgrade: Graveyard Citadel upgrade: increased bonus to 15/30/50%
• Improved Torch Bearer’s attack while moving in fire mode.
• Additional improvements in MP to decrease apparent “lag”. Note to players: ping is not the only measurement of connection. Throughput is an important factor as well. For best online performance, disable background tasks that are consuming your bandwidth.
• Updated favor items:
  • Samm-El’s Cloak: Buffed cap from 25% to 15%
  • Dark Crimson Vial: Reduced cast time from 2 to 1 seconds
  • Staff of the Warmage: Increased mana from 700 to 800
  • Magical Coin Pouch: Buffed cost reduction from 10% to 15%

• Updated items:
  • Hex Scroll: Reduced cost from 500 to 250
  • Capture Lock: Increased cast time from 1 to 2 seconds

  • - Summon Shambler: Summon Shambler now increases health and damage of Shamblers as you gain new ranks. The values are 5/10/15 damage and 125/250/375 health.
  • - Entourage: Shamber buff decreased to compensate for Summon Shambler’s boost. Damage reduced from 10/20/30 to 6/12/18 damage and 250/500/750 health to 165/330/495.

At the time of writing this news post, there are currently 66 games (total) being played, and 6 games pending. So, no sign yet of the patch boosting the community. Although, here’s hoping it isn’t too little, too late.
