What does having an overlord around mean now?
« on: February 09, 2012, 07:30:25 pm »
Am I right to think that an overlord is now just a high-level mission that you can do at any time, and a gate that prevents you getting to the next continent?

I'm especially curious because my old world has two hanging around on the first continent (I was pretty lazy about scouting back when that was a thing) and I'm wondering if this matters.  If not, please don't fix it in a patch; seems cool to me  :)

Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: except when we toyed with continent destruction, this was always the case.

Silly answer: your NPCs will gripe a lot less when the overlord is dead...

Oh, nice!  I'm looking forward to really getting a chance to talk with RX-3017 about what the hell lumbermancy is.
