Summary0004489: Overlord's Backlash
DescriptionI was thinking whenever you kill a lieutenant the overlord should send out a mob to all of your settlements in the overlords area. (or maybe just one settlement closest to you)

It seems odd that the overlord doesn't make any response to you killing one of his underlings.

 On the fence with this one. Defeating a lieutenant seems like an action which, if anything, should make the region safer.

But then, this might be fun.

I kind of like the idea, as long as the backlash isn't bad enough that it's worth just leaving the lieutenants alive until you take down the overlord. It also gives killing story-relevant monsters more of an impact, especially on a macrogame level.

 Well I'd imagine, at least in the early stages an overlord wouldn't be THAT devastated power wise if you've just killed 2 or 3 of his lieutenants. (I'm not certain how many lieutenants are under an overlord but I assume that's still small) So maybe when they still have more overall power they would be in a stronger position to respond. Whereas when they only have a few lieutenants left under them they might start squirming a little. (or they could possibly get even more desperately hostile)
