For those of you who have heard of Sins of a Solar Empire or have played the Supreme Commander games, you might have heard of this one. It is by the makers of the said games: Stardock Entertainment and Gas Powered Games.
If you haven't heard of it and like the RTS genre, I thought I would give a little insight for you people. :)
The all father has vanished, creating an opening in the pantheon. To fill the void, Demigods from across from the mortal world must wage war against one another in a bid to ascend to true godhood.
Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements. Choose from several Demigods, each poised for battle with their own unique capabilities and awe-inspiring powers. Vanquish other would-be gods as you gain levels, increase in power, unlock the power of mystic artifacts and slowly battle your way closer to joining the Pantheon.
Standing in your path are cunning and ferocious opponents that are controlled by either a sophisticated AI system, or by other players via the Internet. Both single- and multiplayer offer a persistent universe where your Demigod uses the spoils of victory to draw closer to ascension, thwart an enemy's attempt at ascension or even acquire powerful items that can be unleashed in the next battle.
The combination of awesome gameplay, incredible graphics and pulse-pounding action means that Demigod is infinitely replayable. You'll keep coming back again and again as you valiantly try to reach the Pantheon and bask in the glory of your final ascension.
Platform: Mircrosoft PC

I think this game is going to be great. I loved Sins of a Solar Empire. I thought Sumpreme Commander was a bit too slow paced and the energy/mass conservation and balance was pretty hard to manage... But this looks a bit more faster paced with an interesting story and great graphics to boot.
its almost the same has Dota , with just less characters
"The gameplay consists of elements borrowed from both of those genres and is described as an action/RPG/RTS hybrid partly inspired by the Warcraft III map Defense of the Ancients."
Lol dota actually inspired something even if it was partially inspired.
Now that I see this game isn't just RTS but with an RPG element I'm more interested. Not to mention its being created by the people behind Supreme Commander
