I am gutted it's not Overlord 2, said one guy.

Hmm, you create your starting race from a list of body types:
Dwarf,
Elf,
Goblin,
Halfling,
Human,
Mole,
Orc,
Rat,
Tigra,
Toad

Then add culture:
Feudal,
Barbarian,
Industrious,
High,
Dark,
Mystic

Select two society traits

Choose a time of Magic

And I am board of transcribing the video

Unless they scrap the ridiculous, unbalanced, tactically obtuse, unrealistic, immersion-destroying mechanic where multi-figure units do not lose their power when they lose figures, all this seems to me just the same game with updated graphics.

I am still annoyed Need For Speed is not a Rave Party Simulator

if you watch the reveal they talk about when you lose units you do less damage, and you see it happen

Ah, really?!!! What time stamp?! I quickly glanced through the battle at the end, and I must've missed that.

[redwitch]

wow

The faction building options are absolutely insane. Your faction dynamically changing throughout the game is also very cool.

And yes we finally have squads losing effectiveness when units go down.

There also seems to be a region system similar to Planetfall but the regions look to be a lot smaller this time. Also marauders projecting their own domain that grows bigger if you don't deal with them is interesting.

Overall looks very exciting so far. Definitely my most anticipated game right now.
