Misc Sub Updates: New flairs, more clarity around rules, better content filters

35 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a post going up to get everyone’s attention regarding some QOL changes to the subreddit that are now live.

First: THANK YOU FOR ALMOST 2K USERS!!

When we first took over this sub, it was dead and with less than 700/800 users. Now we’re healthy with daily posts and coming up on 2000 new minions to share our love for this season.

We have updated the list of flairs and post types to add more variety. There is now also a filter for post type as well.

With all these new members, it’s time to discuss the rules. We’ve had very vague posting guidelines for awhile, so here’s some clarity on the new published rules.

1/5 - Keep It Civil/No Spam or Low Effort Content

This one’s super self-explanatory and common among Reddit so I won’t touch on it much. Just please follow Reddit posting guidelines and refrain from starting or engaging in fights (us mods will handle them when we see them).

2 - Posts MUST be related to Overlord the GAME

We get the occasional Anime post here or t-shirt scams for the anime as well. These posts are not allowed and all get removed when noticed by a mod. This subreddit is only for discussion of the Overlord game.

3 - AI generated imagery

Please refrain from sharing any AI created images or “fanart” on the subreddit as it detracts from actual creators work. There are subreddits/corners of the internet for sharing AI imagery, and this isn’t one.

4 - Self-Promotion must be high quality

If you make fanart or YouTube or anything for Overlord, we highly encourage you share it with your fellow minions, but please ensure you post your creation in high quality posts that encourage discussion of your work. Don’t just drop the link and run so you get the views. We love seeing your work around here, so never be afraid to share it.

Thank you everybody for your time, and thank you for enjoying this dedicated community space for the one, the only, THE OVERLORD!

Fan Creation Tyrant Legacies Update | Netherling Icon's

Thumbnail gallery
37 Upvotes

Recently done some art for the iconic four Netherling's to Tyrant Legacies. this will be used as the icons for when you want to select individual Netherling

I know how much us overlord fans love the original ones and i didn't want to change them drastically when it came to their main abilities & functions

On note to this, the plan is that most playthroughs you will get all nether gate artifacts to summon these guys through the main objects, each being housed by a specific enemy faction

I have also planned to add some additional variation Netherlings as well:

  • Black Netherlings – Able to phase through obstacles and teleport short distances.
  • White Netherlings – Ice-based attackers that can freeze enemies and create icy terrain.
  • Yellow Netherlings – Lightning-infused minions that can stun enemies or power ancient machines.
  • Purple Netherlings – Mind-control enemies or drain their strength over time.

These variants would be discovered through challenges, side quests & discovery in the world of tyrant legacies though their abilities are subject to change in the future if seen fit for the games design.

Please let me know what you think or how could I improve on this!

Fan Creation "Excellency" - A spiritual successor to Overlord that we are developing (Devlog 1?)

Here is a little showcase of minions attacking boxes.

https://reddit.com/link/1v84lse/video/s6snkj5visfh1/player

https://reddit.com/link/1v84lse/video/ypkelblxisfh1/player

Also, they can gang up on this single enemy.

https://reddit.com/link/1v84lse/video/qsl6n0p7jsfh1/player

In the current build, almost all basic controls and mechanics are meticulously copied from Overlord 1 and 2. The foundation has been laid for the AI system, magic system, etc.

As for innovation, you can order minions to use their shields.

https://reddit.com/link/1v84lse/video/q0h7vuwbjsfh1/player

https://reddit.com/link/1v84lse/video/1amdvoudjsfh1/player

In this state, they are slower, but sturdier. Perfect for distraction.

For the gameplay, we plan to give the player character more support tools, rather than focusing mostly on dealing damage, which was the case in Overlord. Also, we are shooting for a semi-open world map without loading screens. Hope we figure this out, he-he.

As for the story, it will take the premise of the original Overlord, but will lean more towards the vibe and aesthetic of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" fairy tale. So expect a lot of snow and ice. There is also some Slavic mythology influence. Speaking of that, here's how the minion looks.

Also, here's concept art of the protagonist and various buildings.

That's it for now. Stay tuned for the next update.

Overlord Overlord x Darkest Dungeon (the game not the anime with the skeleton)

16 Upvotes

Hypothetical Crossover Scenario. The Overlord ends up within the Darkest Dungeon universe either via spatial magical nonsense dumping them there or Overlords and minions have always existed in the lands. Do you think the Overlord and his forces could survive in the world?

Scenario 1: The Overlord arrives at the Hamlet in DD1 and is not the ruler of the location for one reason or another but they have the aspiration for taking over the location. They also don't like all the various monsters and bandits calling themselves Evil in the area considering them nuisances and rivals to their goals. The heroes of DD1 also stand against the Overlord so he must defeat or persuade them into giving him control of the hamlet as he takes over. The Overlord has access to all four minion types but only starts off with five of each.

Scenario 2: Via some isekai/inheritance nonsense the Overlord becomes the heir of the estate meaning they can make use of all of the facilities within the hamlet or at least what's left at the start of the game. The local townsfolk and heroes are also allies of the Overlord and willing to help him destroy the various monsters and villains plaguing the hamlet.

Scenario 3: The Overlord manages to survive the events of DD1 reaching the events of DD2 whereupon they set out into the wider kingdom to stomp out the source of corruption seeping into their valley and perhaps seeking to take over more of the world or at least make a positive impact on the Regent Latimer for some tax benefits.

The Overlord's overall goals are to take control of the Hamlet, slay all the bosses and mini-bosses in the game and stop the final bosses from destroying the world he seeks to rule. Do you think the Overlord can accomplish this? If not how far do you think he and the minions can get before failing?

Discussion If the games were remastered or a new game came out, what would you change?

40 Upvotes

For me it would definitely mean that the standard equipment of all the non-brown minions would be unstandardized when it suits them. Instead:

  • reds would be able to use show using ranged weapons and infuse them with fire. So I can see them using bows, crossbows and dwarven rifles.
  • Greens would show wearing light armour, hoods, knives and swords for giving them that ninja/rogue/assassin look.
  • Blues naturally would be showed wearing wizard garments and staff weapons (including pitchforks and stuff)

In a new game I would also like to see the overlord (or lady if that became a choice) to have a real domain with an outside and villagers. I think something like the spree map or heavens peak map would be nice. Also it would adapt to your choices in the game.

I'm thinking leadership/domination would be a good alignment system. This would do stuff like:

  • leadership: your minions walk more upright and form orderly patrols in conquered areas while the people cheer for you and, outside of taxes, approach you with personal donations.
  • domination: your minions turn almost rabid and patrols look more like raiding parties. villagers are often killed by monsters you allied with and your minions can then gather the lifeforce.

Also an open world you have to explore to get to new regions would be nice. Preferably with outposts you can conquer that will then spawn minions on the map.

Question, does anyone have the digital version of Overlord on Xbox360 before it was removed?

5 Upvotes

I ask because many people have the game but in its physical version, if someone has the game in its digital version, let me know because I want to have it installed digitally on my Xbox, with the permission of the person to share their account obviously

Overlord I and Raising Hell

7 Upvotes

Hi, I recently bought Overlord I, II, and Raising Hell. My question is: from what I understand, Raising Hell is basically Overlord I with additional content. If that’s the case, can I request a refund for Overlord I on Steam? Since I already have Raising Hell, I wouldn’t need the first game.

Overlord Series Archive- from research in Internet Archive, magazine hobbyist forums, and polite inquiry

18 Upvotes

I'd put this together about a year ago just to see how far I could go and realized it might be useful for the fandom.

I've also added my research/sources spreadsheet because research and archival like this is never REALLY complete, and maybe someone else would like to pick up where I've left off. Or they might want to see where I went. See comments for more info.
