(He's happy cause the update's here!)
Demigod fans, fire up your Impulse client, as yet another update for the game is cooking as we speak. Version 1.19 brings with it replay support with lots of options for fans of that (feel free to upload some to our video section, show 'em off in your blog, etc.), some balance changes to the Artifact Shop, and then a heap of bug fixes, tweaks and improvements to top it all off.
Stardock notes a more minor update should be available next Tuesday, adding player stats in the lobby connection dialog. Here you can view player data and any notes you've made on a given player -- all very handy stuff, to be sure. Some further balance updates are under consideration as well.
As for the other content that's been under discussion awhile (the Ranged General minotaur Oculus and melee-based Demon Assassin Demigods, modding support, and another set of balance updates), these are in internal beta, but hey, good things come to those who wait, or so our mother told us.
Changelog is below; again, grab the update through Impulse.
