Do you get Gold/XP from Minion Kills?

April 20, 2009 1:56:17 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

If I'm playing a General and my Minions kill a creep while I'm on the far side of the map do I still get the gold and XP from it?  What about if I'm nearby?  (obviously I still get XP, but what about gold?)

You do get gold as long as your minions do at least 25% of the damage to a given grunt.  You will not get xp unless you are within range of the kill (30 meters).  If your minions kill a DG anywhere on the map you will get full gold and xp for the kill.

What about the other way around: Does a Demigod get gold/experience when he kills one of my minions? I'm not sure if it is a good idea to throw minions at the enemy when this only makes him stronger.

Minions give neither gold nor xp when killed. 

However on the subject of giving your enemies a leg up, upgrading your grunt stream to priests early can sometimes be considered throwing your enemy free xp and gold, since the waves are still easily killed and priests give alot more gold and xp than archers or minos do.  The only map where I'd consider the early upgrade would be Crucible...

If you don't feel like burst-upgrading to catas then invest in a couple of levels of grunt armor and maybe damage before you get priests.  It will really help prevent the easy farm...

Yes, you do.

 

I had a huge argument last night in IRC about this because I thought that they didn't give gold.  You have to meet a certain number of conditions like 25% of the damage has to come from you, and some others, but they give very small amounts of gold (I think minotaurs give 4 a piece)

I think we are getting confused on terms here:

Idol summons like monks and siege archers, as well as unique summons like Yetis and Spirits, provide neither gold nor xp when killed.

Portal grunts like minotaurs, archers, priests, angels, and catapultasaurs provide both xp and gold when killed.

This last bit is what I wanted to know.  Thanks.

Doesn't this imply that a mega-minion general would recieve much less gold than an Assasin because much of their DPS will be coming from minions.

Even if he's attacking the grunts themselves, his minions will be doing more than 25% of the damage on many of them.
