Hello guys!

This is Vitali, the maker of Pixel Piracy!

Company that i work in (not related to pixel piracy) is going to release a new game very soon, and i was thinking if you guys would like to try it out!

I will be watching this thread very closely and will try help everyone with the issues as much as possible. This is special BETA that is nearly exclusive for bay12 forums (our boss wanted originally to include only our local university but i managed to out speak him and give bay12 users a chance to try out the game before anyone else, because i think what you guys did with pixel piracy was just awesome! Tons of  good and bad feedback! <3).

Game Information
Dethroned is an action real-time strategy game about three factions, their kings and their champions with a competitive gaming ingredient (mix of MOBA & TOWER DEFENSE).

You control a single hero with multiple abilities, collect resources and build defenses and armies.

The goal of the game is to reduce your opponent’s victory tickets to zero by capturing victory points with your hero and advancing your soldiers into your enemy's headquarters.

You can plan and modify your tactics for the next game by acquiring, unlocking and reordering gems for your troops and by upgrading your hero with items that suit your play style.

You rise in global ranking according to your performance in individual games.

Wow cool That's awesome man If you are ingame i can battle you! There is not many players yet, so getting a someone to play with can be a problem

Ok so... it's a 3 way moba?
Ok that's something new (as opposed to everyone just taking the map from DotA with barely any changes).

But i'd like to know how the gameplay is going to look like.
So ok we have the typical MOBA setup with heroes and creeps.
But where does the tower building aspect come in?
Will heroes be capable of building towers?
If yes then will they offer other benefits beyond helping with killing creep waves?

Nooo... that's not even remotely new. There's been three (and more!) way AoS maps* since at least WC3 days (though I forget if they gave it a shot back with starcraft or not. Probably.). It's a fairly old thing.

The apparently outside-battle bought items are an interesting twist on the current commercial stagnation, though. LoL's runes kicked up a notch, eyeballing it.

Kinda' AoS'd out at the moment, but anyone and anything introducing more of the older variety into the commercial scene is a good thing, methinks.

*Which all these things are until they do something to actually differentiate themselves from Starcraft/Warcraft 3 custom maps, s'far as I'm concerned

Which some have! Awesomenauts, at the least. It's nice when it happens.

You build towers on the building slots, each starting base has 5 of them.

You then build barracks to send out waves of creeps, killing creeps gives you exp and gold.

Quick question, what stop me from say no making any creep builders farming Exp and gold then building the best creep spawners? The other question I have is how many players will there be per team/side? anyway, I will sign up and try this out later.

I suspect that, like any TD, if you try to save money by not buying early on, you will have a hard time because of lower DPS and having someone around to soak up damage for you, but if you survive it you'll be ahead in buying later. Similar to investing in economy early on instead of military.

Well its "new" now since DotA2 (relatively understandable since it's a direct sequel), LoL, and a cubic asston of other MOBAs just take the basic 3 lane map with the same placement of turrets and damn near identical placement of forrest mobs as they were in DotA.

Mind you that map is not bad but when someone offers something new then he should offer something that's not a slightely rehashed classic.
Demigod with its maps would be a perfect example in this case.
Infinite crisis and its main map would also apply i guess (but the second one is pretty much a rehash of LoLs domination map.

Again i'm not saying any of those is crap but damn i expect something new from a different product.
It's like every multiplayer RTS game in existence would only play a rehash of "Lost Temple".

Currently BETA has only 1vs1 mode, but once we have more users online we will activate 2vs2 gameplay mode. And yes, nothing is stopping you from doing so, there is many ways of playing the game.

You are correct.
