this game makes me want to find my old copy of Black and White and start playing again.

Aw I blew all my godpower without realizing it doesn't get restored until my hero gains a level! Bah! I've got 5 invites by the way if anyone wants to get in.

Alright, toss me an invite, I'll try this one out.

PM me your email. Also, for everyone, it seems that the progress bar on "News from the Battlefields" updates every ~15 seconds.

Oh and the full bar seems to fill in about 9-10 minutes

Your godpower is reloaded by your hero worshipping you, or sacrificing to you. They usually do this every time they visit town, but can do it more often randomly, or if prompted.

I can't get my dude to join a guild

not that I'm playing this game, mind

You can only join from level 12. They'll pick a random guild and start a guild joining quest, but you can make them choose a guild by sending a god voice with " join "guild name" guild " and if they listen, they'll switch to that one.

Join "happy guild" guild! It's rubbish, but the missus started it, and I feel a loyalty! :-p

bah, so apparently, it's possible to heal my opponent in the arena. . . and it was going so well before that.

Heh, random doesn't help huh Smile

My favourite recent fight happened when we were fairly evenly matched, then I went to heal just a little bit too late, he hit me with a punish, but it also hit him, reducing us both to 1 health. Referee decided it by a coin flip, and I won. Bet the other guy was gutted!

wait, so if I use punish, it's a chance to hit my opponent?

Yup, in the arena, it's much more likely to hit your opponent than to hit you. But it's very random. If you're super lucky, and also do a hit voice command, you can end up triple hitting in one go...

Woo! While my hero was in town I used the phrase "If you buy new equipment, you will live long enough to serve me...adequately..." 3 times:

19:38
Nice, a Spiderman's suit! Will look great on me.
19:37
So where's the nearest store? I'd like to get rid of this boring tinkling gold.
19:37
A massive tablet suddenly fell from the sky. Inscribed upon it were the words: 'If you buy new equipment, you will live long enough to serve me...adequately...'
19:36
So where's the nearest store? I'd like to get rid of this boring tinkling gold.
19:36
Did someone just say 'If you buy new equipment, you will live long enough to serve me...adequately...' to me? Either way, I don't care.
19:36
Someone pawned off a fake gold coin on me.
19:35
Did one of my favorite things: selling off loot.
19:34
A sudden gust of wind brought some words: 'If you buy new equipment, you will live long enough to serve me...adequately...'

and my idiot hero finally got the fucking message and bought a Spiderman suit! I think it took my body armor up from -6 to -3, which is nice I guess...

To be fair, they nearly always buy equipment once they've got gold, but it looks like they got the message the second time there...
