I'm pretty sure this is normal.

Lieutenants are in keeps and overlords are in evil lairs. In order to find them, you need to use your NPCs to scout.

Yea, they're the guys who seem to like bats and very spiky helmets.

If they've formed a rampaging group, yes.  Not before.  It's been asked that we have it show them before, and I think that's reasonable to add.

Q:  I killed a lieutenant in an overlords tower as opposed to its own tower and received no experience.  Is this an error or intended as a punishment for bypassing the lieutenant's tower for the kill?
Also, I killed my first Overlord, it took a longgggggg time and a lotttt of potions, but no exp?  No cool goodies or trophy room? I was really disappointed then I remembered it is a beta; will there be goodies and benefits for killing an Overlord and if so what might they be?

Was your civ level more than 5 levels above the Overlord's level? If you defeat a boss who is more than 5 levels below your civ level then you don't gain any experience.

Yes this was the case, I believe I was seven over but I want to say I was still gaining a lot of experience on lieutenants that I was about seven levels over.  I might just be going crazy from how long I've been playing though :/ My eyes burn in a good way

I'm just wondering, will there ever be somewhere you can store valuables? Like a safe or a bank. Somewhere the "smart" player can put their stuff for safe keeping.

It's pretty foolish to bring everything you own on a long journey that you might die on and then end up not being able to collect the items from the corpse afterwards.

You don't drop anything on death now.

Some kind of bank would be useful tho to not drop all the old items but store them.
Ability to destroy items would be nice also as an alternative.

Also awesome?  PUNCHING BATS IN THE FACE.  It never gets old.  It even deserves lots of capital letters, which I rarely use.

Super Bat Puncher (NES)

That is fantastic.  I totally want it.  And it also makes me want to play Cave Story again for some reason...
