The features of the Overlord expansion:
- The rulers make the rules:
With new mechanics for vassals, the roles for additional subjects can be defined – players can create new specialized empires to grow into economic superpowers, military specialists and technological creators. They negotiate or demand treaties and agreements between their vassals to determine the future of dozens of worlds, and reap the benefits! - The brightest star must lead them:
Players can locate and reunite shattered empires! In the vast galaxies they encounter other unique enclaves, from mysterious Shroudwalkers to militaristic mercenaries and wily salvage workers. They can be used to forge mutually beneficial relationships in order to earn their unique services, or they can be forcibly subjected to one’s rule. - Five New Origins:
- Imperials first – Starting as a specialized ruler, you may one day rule the entire galaxy.
- With the slingshot to the stars – The decayed remains of a quantum catapult have been discovered nearby – what mysteries might be revealed if you’re clever enough to reactivate them?
- underground – A species adapted to life underground, excelling in mining and archeology. Now it’s time to see what awaits them far, far above the surface!
- Instructor of the Shroud – Through evolving in contact with the curious psykers known as the Shroudwalkers, your own empire has learned a great deal about mind expansion!
- ancestor swarm – With the right leadership, the Empire of the Hivemind can achieve more than ever before… but without the right leadership, the Hive will collapse.
