Have recently started the Campaign game with some friends, with me as the Overlord.We skipped the introduction as that seemed too trivial and started with The Fat Goblin.
I won that, but it was a close and enjoyable game.
I then selected Castle Daerion and I slaughtered the heroes.
In Encounter 1 I killed all 4 villages and to be honest, I can't possibly see how that could end any other way.
Encounter 2 was a real disappointed as I killed off Sir Palamon in my second turn. He was quickly surrounded by 4 zombie villagers, an Ettin, Sir Alric and some ranged shots from a couple of Flesh Moulders.
The outcome seemed inevitable as Sir Palamon died before the heroes could even reach him, let alone start defending him.
Anyway this is where I'm probably too nice to be an overlord. Although I should be picking the next Act I mission, I've said the heroes can do so.
Also wonder whether we should play First Blood retrospectively, just to get the XPs - or just award them. What is the typical outcome for First Blood, hero or overlord victory?
Cheers,
Nigel
