Well there are going to be quests for each demigod (solo play), by that I understand that the "backstory" are those quests.

So there is going to be a single player campaign that will be in the final version.

All things in time.

Definite tease, but I must say that I got that little clue from frogboy, not tyo.

Quests in my view indicates that you'll be given a series of objectives to accomplish, sometimes in groups, not necessarily in order, so it should be a bit more freeform than the traditional RTS scriptathon. I like the sounds of it a lot, I just wish I had more info.

In the campaign? I assume you'll earn meta-experience for how well you do fulfilling all the objectives along the way. Just a guess though, devs feel free to correct me.

Since your Demigod is competing with the other Demigods for ascension, does that mean you finish off the other demigods or you just gain power by completing tasks (ie destroying enemy bases).  If you have to off the other Demi's, does that mean there will be a cut scene after you've destroyed an enemy base to where you finish off a demigod (rated T for teen eh...).  I'm curious how they will implement this.

I think the way the maps are set up, each of the locations are set as eternal struggles or a balance of forces.  When 1 demigod (or team of demigods) turns the tide and destroys the opposing side, the balance is lost and that power is up for the taking (for the victors).  So, it could be that the single player starts out with a 4v4 map.  Your side wins, granting power to those 4 demigods.  As single player progresses, demigods grow in power and the maps get smaller until the final showdown with an opposing demigod 1v1, or even possibly a 1 v 7 (heck ya!). 

There's alot of possibilities and I hope its fun, replayable, and rewarding.
