In Overlord,
players begin the game as a wonderfully despotic character complete
with a small team of loyal minion side-kicks. As areas of the kingdom
are conquered, the Overlord grows in might to become the supremely
powerful force, equipped with devastating spells and a devoted minion
horde at his command. It's like character building on steroids
As
the Overlord develops, so does his need for ever more effective armour
and weaponry. Giant smelters containing rare metals 'recovered' on
pillaging raids can forge heavy-duty weaponry that reflects your
growing magnificence. Along with the metals, the odd minion soul can
also be thrown in to the forge's fire to enchant new items a few
hundred fiery Red minions tossed into smelter will make for a suitably
impressive flaming sword.
After commanding minions and
conquering the land, the Overlord still has a base to rebuild. At the
beginning, your tower is in ruins. As lands are claimed, artefacts
looted and enemies slain, it is restored to its former glory as your
imposing Dark Tower, inhabited by hundreds of minions.
Within the Dark Tower is the Throne Room; from here travel to and from the outside world via the Tower Portal. Down in the Dungeon,
specimens of defeated enemies are kept in readiness for the Overlord
and your minion horde to have a bit of fun with. Meanwhile, in the
Overlord's Private Quarters, take a break from world domination and enjoy the company of your mistress
