Well I was planning on not limiting the Overlord on how many minions they can command (within reason) so they could field armies equal to those in total war or the lore of this setting (not certain which is more accurate outside of meme armies) I do plan on introducing a lot of the spells from the series especially the domination one from Overlord 2 and I'm looking forward to people attempting to get a mount Evil or otherwise. Also because if I limited the Overlord to the fifty or sixty minions they can get with all the upgrades and gear they'd still be massively outnumbered and part of the limit seems to be based on game mechanics even if the minions are pretty dumb on their own
The limit is the ability to provide food/magical sustenance instead then?
 
Heads up I will be closing the voting on Monday so people have time to vote on the weekend when they'll have more free time. I still need people to submit names for minions and remind you to vote for a starting weapon though that's on me for forgetting to add that in the original post
 
Francis, our man-eating beast trainer, with his adorable offspring


Who would have thought that always throwing Francis into the nests of truly deadly beasts, to see if he could catch their eggs, had turned him into someone with a great love for monsters wanting to devour your face,

Dire troll

Dire trolls or berserkers are especially large and powerful trolls.

We can make Gymbro's version of the minions.

the beastman or vampire versions of the minions, turning them into gremlins




some minions that we can give names and personalities






herald

cook

tailor

jester

blacksmith

jester
Ok we don't have green minions yet but I'll reserve the name Francis because that art is cute. It's a bit of a spoiler but that jester is already in the Tower as for the other minions we'll have to see. I have no plans on making any weird hybrid versions of minions and other creatures as that doesn't seem original. Plus if you're gonna make a troll sized minion you may as well just get trolls
 
Second vote results New
Alright it should take me less time to write up the next part as I figure out how to use the dice system on the site here (if anyone can link me a tutorial on that it will be appreciated). In the mean time I'd love to see more people suggest names for the common minions totally isn't so you become attached to them before they get killed in either a horrible or hilarious fashion.

As expected the Defensive measure plan has won and since only two people voted for the starting weapon that will win by default (apologies if you missed voting for that but you can decide to swap to one of the other options later)

Been a while since i saw anything about The OG overlord francise! Kinda sucks that there isnt a overlord 3 yet!
If I was writing Overlord three I'd have it take place after Overlord fellowship of evil and have the plot be that the Overlord has three kids (one with each mistress from Overlord 2) who've grown up and come into Evil in their own rights except none have taken the mantle of Overlord themselves. You'd play as the fourth child of the Overlord whose mother was a mistress who was met off screen. Said mother being the least of the mistresses and not very evil. Anyways you'd be found by the minions when your village is attacked by one of your evil half siblings and that would start things off as you battle their forces, other villains and creatures of the land, and an adventuring guild. Final boss was gonna be that jester from Overlord 1 and the Overlord who possessed that wizard who had a scheme to raise a powerful figure the Overlord could possess as a new body except your character had gotten in the way but by some actions let them possess the leader of the adventurer's guild who'd become some evil dark paladin
