Misc Sub Updates: New flairs, more clarity around rules, better content filters

37 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a post going up to get everyone’s attention regarding some QOL changes to the subreddit that are now live.

First: THANK YOU FOR ALMOST 2K USERS!!

When we first took over this sub, it was dead and with less than 700/800 users. Now we’re healthy with daily posts and coming up on 2000 new minions to share our love for this season.

We have updated the list of flairs and post types to add more variety. There is now also a filter for post type as well.

With all these new members, it’s time to discuss the rules. We’ve had very vague posting guidelines for awhile, so here’s some clarity on the new published rules.

1/5 - Keep It Civil/No Spam or Low Effort Content

This one’s super self-explanatory and common among Reddit so I won’t touch on it much. Just please follow Reddit posting guidelines and refrain from starting or engaging in fights (us mods will handle them when we see them).

2 - Posts MUST be related to Overlord the GAME

We get the occasional Anime post here or t-shirt scams for the anime as well. These posts are not allowed and all get removed when noticed by a mod. This subreddit is only for discussion of the Overlord game.

3 - AI generated imagery

Please refrain from sharing any AI created images or “fanart” on the subreddit as it detracts from actual creators work. There are subreddits/corners of the internet for sharing AI imagery, and this isn’t one.

4 - Self-Promotion must be high quality

If you make fanart or YouTube or anything for Overlord, we highly encourage you share it with your fellow minions, but please ensure you post your creation in high quality posts that encourage discussion of your work. Don’t just drop the link and run so you get the views. We love seeing your work around here, so never be afraid to share it.

Thank you everybody for your time, and thank you for enjoying this dedicated community space for the one, the only, THE OVERLORD!

Overlord Overlord - Requiem for a Tower; Anyone remember this exact fan edit from back in the day?

Thumbnail youtube.com
33 Upvotes

I used to watch this all the time for some reason and even had an mp3 because I thought the song was cool. It was before I figured out it was an actual composition by Clint Mansell. Well, a steroid version of the original from Requiem for a Dream. This bombastic one was used in the trailer of LOTR: The Two Towers! Anyway, this was hella cool back in the day and still is today.

Overlord 1 and 2 Linking Project

21 Upvotes

I am usually explicitly anti-AI, but all these game mashups have made me unbearably curious. So I watched a guide and decided to give it a shot.

First I tried hosting my own AI. I have a computer programming background so I have a basic-moderate understanding of everything that needs to go on, but after about 4 hours of testing and trying out Ollama and Cline in VSCode and no luck, I broke down and got a Claude Subscription that I am planning to cancel after this month. After about 2 more hours with Claude on Melty.gg I have this.

https://melty.gg/m/linked-towers

Basically the mod reads the save files of both games and syncs your resources. Gold and Life Force. You can also switch between games with F9, mimicking a sort of teleport between them.

My end goal is to port Overlord 1 into Overlord 2, I will keep working on this for the next little while, and post updates and working versions as I go forward.

Feedback, Questions, and Remixes of this concept are welcome.
I am using Claude Desktop and Melty.gg Desktop.

I'm playing the first game right now and I decided to pick up the luggage before killing the beholder and the second the luggage was retrieved I got the cut scene with rose.

Overlord II Overlord 2 helm on Roblox

5 Upvotes

I was wondering if anybody who plays Roblox and is able to create items for the marketplace has ever thought of making the Overlord 2 helmet? I would absolutely buy it. I’d make it myself but I’m on PS5, and am also no where near talented enough to.

overlord III

is there any chance of future existence of overlord 3 or this game series officially abandoned and there’s no signs of development
i played overlord and overlord II 7-8 years ago and not really into the community


r/overlordgame • • 16d ago

Remember this? I really thought it could be Overlord 3. You can even see some comments saying the same thing.

Who else thought this?

This was 2012 so only 3 years after Overlord 2.

Back before our beloved franchise got murdered by Fellowship of Garbage.

Another game of similar nature

25 Upvotes

Overlord 1 and 2 have been my favorite games of all time. Heck, when I heard false information about Overlord 3 being made, I laughed, cried, rejoiced only to crash into an unfathomable depression after I learned it was just misinformation. I was so excited beforehand, that I was prepared to move to the Netherlands and apply to Triumph studios to work on what I believed was going to be the final instalment of my favorite franchise. You can only imagine the measure of tears that were poured after coming to understand that one of my long-forgotten, and most treasured hopes was dashed.

In the recent week, however, I've come to discover another game that celebrates the same spirit Dungeon Keeper and Overlord possess: "It's good to be bad..."

I present to everyone here, Solium Infernum. (On further note, they use some of the Half-Ling screams from Overlord 1 during the army-fighting animations.)

Overlord II [RELEASE] Overlord II: "Battle Rock Nemesis" DLC is finally on PC!

Hey everyone!

Just 7 hours after the initial announcement, I’ve finished final testing for the DLC. Everything works flawlessly with no bugs found, making for a super smooth gameplay experience.

You’ve waited a long time for this... but Evil always finds a way!

Below is the Google Drive link to the archive containing the full standalone game with the DLC fully integrated. No installation is required (other than standard DirectX/VC++ redistributables needed for vanilla Overlord II).

If you have any questions, be sure to check the README.txt inside the archive or drop a comment below. If you run into any errors or bugs, let me know in the comments as well!

Overlord II Overlord 2: Battle Rock Nemesis PC Version Preview Spoiler

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

97 Upvotes

For two years now, I've been digging through files and trying to figure out their structure. And I've been doing all this primarily to port the DLC from the console version to the PC version of the game. And just yesterday, the DLC launched on the PC version without the need for an emulator. Right now, I’m running tests, and as soon as I’m confident it’s fully functional, I’ll upload the game to Google Drive.
I’ve been following the topic of porting the DLC for a very long time - back then, I checked the forums and the Steam page every day where people were discussing how to port the DLC to PC, hoping it would finally happen. I never would have thought that I’d end up doing it myself; in fact, just yesterday I watched the Arena in action with childlike excitement.

All in all, I think these two years of work - studying file formats and tinkering with scripts - have been very productive. I think this is our little celebration.

Anyway, yeah, happy holiday, guys. I'll try to check all this out as soon as possible so I can upload it to Google Drive for you.

Raising Hell Wanting to revisit my childhood

28 Upvotes

I am on Steam right now with a grip of nostalgia. I need something to hold me over a little bit until Hell raiser comes out in October. I played the ever living shit out of this game on PS3 and then I think Overlord 2 not long after.

Are these game pretty good on PC? I really only remember the controls from a controller perspective but god damn the game is so enticing with the story/reactions/shitty animations. I hope it holds up well because I’m buying both games regardless of the graphics.

Overlord Which launcher do I use?

Just bought Overlord & Raising Hell dlc, do you have to launch from a specific one or will all content be included? I am on steam if that helps as well.

Close enough, I guess. It'd be kind of cool if Minions could vary a bit from the start with facial features, even if they're the same color.
