Beeing an overlord, isnt quiet as easy as it once was, not only is conquering the world quiet a chore, you also have to pay your troops now since they decieded that they want to get payed for fighting other overlords. So you rjob is it to defeat other overlords, manage your kingdom and have as few survivers as possible after each fight in order to keep the treasury full.

How To Play:

The game is played via the mouse. There are two different modes normal and endless as well as 4 different Difficultys ( endless as well as the hardest difficulty is locked. You can either play the game to unlock them or press the "C";"R";"A";"S";"H" Keys on your Keyboard at the same time while you are in the Menu.This will unlock those options after starting the normal mode and hoing back to the menu).

There are two Phases during the game:

Phase 1: The Building Phase

You basically manage your people in order to produce more people and gold. You can also change the ratios of people in the different devisions.

Phase 2: The Fight

You try to defeat the enemys on the right side of the screen. You can choose a target by clicking on your troops and afterwards at the enemy you want to attack.

Bow > Spear; Spear > Horse; Horse > Bow;

After the fight you have to pay every surviver 5 Gold. If you can not do that you lose.

The game is played in Turns. The duration of at turn depends on the difficulty. To jump to the next turn you can press the Skipping Arrows in the top right corner.

A word of "warning": since i run out of time i had no time to really balance the game. There is a high chance that either your team or the enemy team gets way to strong way to fast. There might also be a few things that look like they have a function but actually dont have one.

The Tought process

The Idea was a game where you have to play strategically bad in Order to maximise your Profit. ( The more surviver, the worse it is) . Sadly the game is far from what i wanted it to be. Not only was I ill for ~50% of the jam, i also made everything way to complex. When you look in the code you can find a lot of things that arent used rigth now because they where planed for systems that didnt make it because I run out of time. Well regardless i liked the idea that i came up with and i at least think the "game" is good for what i archieved to produce. I also wanted to know how hard it would be to translate the game ( build the system and so one) turns out it was easier than i expected .
