So, basically either I'm really bad at playing the Overlord or this game is skewed for the heroes. I've played this game 5 times now and have yet to see the Overlord win or win as the Overlord and every game that goal just seems to get further and further out of reach. Not only are my heroes getting all the bonuses for winning but that's in addition to the gold they get to go shopping with from the treasures they uncover. They went on a rumor quest just last night and losing as the overlord meant I got absolutely nothing for my effort while they got a great defensive relic and 200 gold to shop with.I've got a treasure hunter in my group that does massive damage with his skill/equipment set (by rolling 5 damage and a surge on dice he was able to turn that into 9 damage with pierce 2!). I've got a healer class character that can stun all minion monsters he's adjacent too and is loaded down with defensive abilities (and now he is going to have that relic that adds a black die to his defense!).
I'm just not able to make any headway against these guys and that makes it a bit less fun. I still really enjoy the game but this isn't D&D, I'm supposed to and I want to win but that goal seems out of reach. Is this common and if so are there method to even out the balance a bit? Or am I just not playing as well as I could/should and hopefully with some experience my games will be closer. Thanks.
