~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
> The creation of Dutch developer Triumph Studios, Overlord is all about being
> ruthless,
> determined, and even a little despotic, as players pillage lands, conquer
> kingdoms
> and rise to be proclaimed the new, all-powerful Overlord. At the heart of
> the game
> lies an array of impish, gremlin-like creatures known as the Minions, and
> their presence
> provides Overlord with its deliciously dark comedic touches.
> In Overlord, players will amass armies of up to 50 Minions from all four
> Minion types
> as they explore and conquer the rest of the fantasy world's twisted domains,
> with
> seven corrupt heroes to defeat, a Dark Tower to rebuild, and the Legion of
> Terror
> and other destructive spells to unleash. Whether Brown fighter Minions, Red
> fire
> throwing Minions, Green assassin Minions or Blue healer Minions, these little
> buggers
> will always be there for their master, ready to sacrifice themselves and
> their lives
> in servitude of the Overlord.
> With the ability to be directly controlled by players, the Overlord's Minion
> horde
> will obey every command, no matter how devastating or depraved it may be.
> Indeed,
> Minion loyalty knows no limits and their bravery borders on stupidity, but
> they are
> the perfect slavish little demons to send on sheep killing, farm razing,
> village
> pillaging, house burning, beer guzzling, axe-wielding missions.
