Basically; share with everyone what you hope/expect Overlord 2 will have compared to Overlord 1.
Personally I'm happy with a few of the new things I saw in the demo. The camera still isn't perfect, but overall it's better in my opinion.
Finally gone with the "good" crap, you're supposed to be evil. You're an overlord, you're evil and that's it! Imagine Sauron sending orcs to the Shire because they're completely messed up the flower arrangement and no less then 10,000 orcs can get it done properly. You finally get a choice between evil and evil, aka evil dominate and evil slaughter everything that isn't a minion. And you might actually kill some heroes this time, not people who might be more evil then yourself (okay, getting ridd of competition every now and then is acceptable but come on...)*judging this from achievement list*
Graphics: No major overhaul, but it does look alot more polished then overlord 1. Still retains the good old feeling as well, love it. Same goes for humour.
Only got to see browns, I'm happy with it, especially the mounts. Judging from screenshots etc the armor they pick up also looks good. However I hope they buff reds in overlord 2 because I always felt they were horrible in Overlord 1. Greens were okay, blue good for keeping my browns alive...and god knows they need help with that.
Tower/mistress etc: I really hope they keep the tower upgrades similar to overlord 1, just bigger. More upgrades, more benefits from them and so on. Mistress; You really were better off going evil in all choices exept one, the mistress. Browns were by far the best minions in Overlord 1 and Rose (that was the good one, right?) upgraded them and blues. I don't mind choosing specialty, but I do mind it affecting which path I choose.
Make gold worth something; alot of games have this problem to be honest. Gold is useful in the beginning, but after awhile there's nothing to spend it on. I hope overlord 2 will have some sort of end game gold "sink", either with enough tower upgrades to last the entire game or maybe purchase lifeforce. Just something so my treasury isn't filled with useless booty.
Minion equipment: Browns and greens could look great/funny with the right gear. A swarming hoard of evil...armed with brooms and books on their heads, truly terrifying. I also loved the claws the greens got as their gear improved. The reds and blue however were a bit dissapointing. I'm hoping for wizard hats or the like, just more then a few straps of leather.
That's my hopes, and expectations :) What's yours?
