Summary0005054: Conflict between overlords
DescriptionI was thinking about something today.

If I was an overlord, I'd want to gain more power and land. However in AVWW I'd eventually come to the point where I'd meet another Overlord's patch.

Do I stop? NO! I attack the other overlord (and hopefully win, stick his severed head on the end of a stick, hold a victory feast etc) and I take over their land.

As it stands right now you defeat one overlord and then another just takes their place, it would be interesting if this was more dynamic. Like there is a group of significant overlords in the nearby area that are fighting for power. (npcs will mention all of these different overlords and about their conflicts with each other) I mean we KNOW there are countless overlords out there...so it would be nice to see them squabble among themselves sometimes. Maybe you could ambush two overlords battling each other for supremacy and take them both out.

That's very much the sort of thing that we wouldn't get to until post-1.0 or an expansion, but multiple factions are certainly of interest to us.

Perhaps a random event kind of thing when you've been away from a continent for awhile, or just if another Overlord steals a boat and causes you (and them) a problem with his own selection of elites from his 'Overlord's Hut' or some other kind of not-exactly-great building to differentiate from the Continental Overlord and his fancy doomy tower of doom. Would his lieutenants follow him though, or would they be stuck guarding the home turf?

knowing this is a far away event, if you could have overlords fighting, maybe the players could be bribed by one overlord to fight the other, with the rewards of conscienious shards, or perhaps the player can only do this when morphed into a monster form with limited abilities. Consdering the amount of alteration going into the game currently I can see how no deep thought should be put into this for a long time.

I always like more to do and this seems to be a very interesting idea.

“Maybe you could ambush two overlords battling each other for supremacy and take them both out.”

That would be hilarious yet difficult.
