Meet the Minions
As the Overlord, you are a powerful warrior in your own right. However, part of leadership is delegating jobs to those under you. Though you will still have opportunitiesto fight, much of your responsibility lies in controlling your minions and using them toaccomplish your quests. There are four types of minions, though you begin with only onetype. Each minion type has its own strengths and abilities. Keep this in mind and use yourminions for the tasks for which they are intended to get the most out of them.
Browns
Browns are the minions with which youstart. They are your all-around warriorsand excel at direct attacks. Brownshave the highest defensive abilities,but only moderate attacking strength.However, they like to scrounge.

Your horde shouldalways have some Browns, and often they should make up the bulk of your horde.Browns can ride wolves. While mounted, Browns can leap across gaps to get toareas they normally could not reach. In addition, sweeping wolf-riding Brownsinto formations of enemies can help break up the formation.
Reds
Reds function like archers in that theyhave a ranged attack. Although theycan hit enemies from a distance, Redshave very poor defensive values andare often the first killed when facedwith hand-to-claw combat. Therefore,keep them out of the fight and behindlines of other types of minions. SinceReds are friends with fire, they canmove through fiery areas and evenput out flames on barricades so that the rest of your horde may pass. On theother hand, Reds can start fires, and their ability to set fire to enemies can cause your foes damage before they even get in range to hurt you. When placed on a
