Hi everyone

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and say 'Hi' to the Demigod community.

Yesterday was in fact my first ever MOBA game of any kind.  I'd been somewhat put off trying LOL, HON or DOTA etc. for a few reasons; no AI to practive against/use to familiarise myself with the game, from what I've heard the player base can be somewhat less than friendly towards inexperienced players and lastly, I'd watched a few of Total Biscuit's LOL games (on youtube) and found them to be a bit 'meh' to watch (probably because I had no real appreciation for what was happening to be honest).

So Demigod appeared on Steam, it had AI opponents and was quite cheap so I gave it a go.  I'm happy to say that my impressions of watching a MOBA style game were completely different to playing it; I had a real blast playing as Unclean Beast in a skirmish match against the normal AI.  I really liked the slow build of the game and that the tactics are more involved than 'run in like Rambo'.  Amazingly, I won and gained most of the 'awards' (kills, flags etc.)  Doubtless the normal AI isn't too tough

I did have one question which I thought of when reading Morgwyr's 'Demigod Basics' post:

"IMPORTANT NOTE: Items stack! This means, you can have 2 breastplates and 3 helms, and they all stack. Almost NEVER sell your starting items unless you need the slot for a better item."

This has me somewhat confused; the armour items are unavailable to buy if you have already purchased an item of that type, so how is it possible to have more than one?  I found that I had to sell an item first to free its slot before a new/different item was available to buy again.

The other thing I was wondering was (after I've played a few more practice games), where would be the best place to start to try some multiplayer?  Would that be the Pantheon?

TIA
