Demigod Done Kicked My Rear

I'm not used to games being hard even on the hard setting but this damn thing is kicking my butt. I sailed past Normal setting and there was a stark difference between the two. I'm pretty suprised at how this game pulled me in and how complicated it is. Everything seems to be split second decision making and dying doesn't seem to be an option. What I thought was going to be a simple strategic game is now a game of frantic paced game of strategic decision making. I'm not even allowed to play it when the kids are up because of the frequent endless spiral of cuss words that spew from my mouth.
Who else here been able to get past the Hard Campaign and into the Nightmare?
Another thing I have to ask is if you had as hard of a time learning this game as I am... Well it's not really hard to play but it's really hard to play well or even play decently.
I'm pretty sure this game isn't good for my heart or my blood pressure.

Haven't really looked into it, just checked who made it and surprise surpise it is gas powered games. I have supreme commander, and while a good game, gas powered games are shockingly bad at some things.

The difference between medium and hard in that game is not right, and indeed not even fair, you are always on the back foot and one slip up and it's over.

Your description reminds me of that.

If there is a demo i might try it but if the AI is as messed up in this game as it was in supreme commander i might give it a miss.

Maybe i am misjudging it.
