Demigod Interview

The editors over at IncGamers managed to track down Stardock's Brad Wardell and for a two-page Demigod interview. The intro questions:
An exciting title for strategists and RPG players alike. I think the first thing to ask is whether or not the Demigods will be based on actual mythical creatures, or are you creating your own gods for the purpose of this game?

Demigod has its own rich mythological background that has been developed. In essence, one of the gods has been cast down for interfering in a larger conflict in the mortal realm. The gods have convened and decided that one of the offspring of this fallen god should inherit his place. To find out which of these demigods is most worthy of ascending to the pantheon.

How many types of Demigods will you be able to choose from?

Initially we plan to provide eight with additional Demigods arriving over the course of the year. Each Demigod is akin to a race or faction you would see in a traditional RTS. These Demigods have their own powers, some have their own minions and troops, etc.

While eight is a lot of different Demigods to choose from, we think players will quickly get the hang of them and then we can gradually add to them.
