Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

[LupusFatalis]

I'd second some sort of advancement to overlord status criteria. Though I think taking an overlord cap is fairly light. And since anyone who is killing an overlord to do so will likely be taking everything else first under those rules--to minimize retaliation--the rule might be more in line with take all of the original starting forts (cap included).

And I'll agree that the mid-late game can be difficult for an overlord. But lets not forget its not without its perks. Two players seem to have capitalized on that head start and really pushed the advantage, the rest I dunno. And with the gate-stones in play a single overlord could quite simply put a halt on a would-be victorious normal. Sure they can only attack one province, but there are only so many provinces satisfying those victory conditions.

So I guess what I'm saying is, I'd be interested to see how the game resolves before picking it apart.
