War for Hirestel Preview: Overstadt


Ahhh, Overstadt! The most beautiful, prosperous, and only real city in Hirestel! While humans live all over Hirestel (including a perplexingly large contingent in the Realm of the Damned King,) Overstadt by far is the most populous. Not only humans, but duardin, aelves, and all manner of civilized folk inhabit this fair city!

Like everything in Hirestel, there is a dark side to the city, though. Corruption runs deep, and murder is a currency all its own! The first way to vie for control of this flawed metropolis is TOTAL CONQUEST, the fun (albeit annoying to set up) matched play mission from the General's Handbook 2017! Fight your way through the winding streets of Overstadt and stake your claim in key control points in the city.

My favorite multiplayer mission the TOWER OF SCREAMING DEATH is where multiple players can converge to capture one of Overstadt's strangest and most powerful fortress! If a player manages to capture this lightly-guarded fortress, that player will be able to rain down arcane magicks onto every enemy unit in the game! Garrisoning the fortress too early will get you ganked by every other player, though, so be wary. I know some of you are going to go buckwild a little to early and get got!

And finally, players can work alongside the free folk of Overstadt and take up a job to transport precious cargo in order to garner favor of the people! in FRAGILE CARGO one Skirmish warband will try and transport the goods, while one will try and smash that sweet, sweet cargo (wine? rice? DOGS?!) in order to humiliate the opponent!

Oh the jerks you'll become by trying to make your way to power in Overstadt! This is the 10th and final region to preview here! I hope to see you all this Sunday as the War for Hirestel begins!
