Added DiffLines:

** The Tower is bigger and more useful. Barracks can be upgraded for minion training. You can actually sit on your throne.
** The game focuses less on contrived puzzles and more on infiltration and tactics. Stuff an Overlord would actually be concerned with.

** The Spider mounts come off as the worst where they seem to not benefit greatly to the Green Minions role in assassination and suffer from very odd wall-climbing mechanics that are universally hated amongst the players. They are considered the worst choice for the final battle.

* ThatOneBoss: The BossBattle against the Spider Queen is this. Figuring out how the fight even works at first can stump newcomers for awhile, and the fight is well-known to drag depending on how well the player keeps an equipped team of Minions alive. Not to mention the repetitive nature of the fight by always having to flip the Queen over as the only means to inflict actual damage on her.

Added DiffLines:

* [[EvenBetterSequel Even Better]][=/=]SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Outside of the obvious graphical touch ups, the melee attacks are more meaty, the plot is arguably better, you're not just limited to one mistress (you can even get with [[spoiler: all three]] if you play your cards right), the mounts add to the gameplay, and there's no [[PragmaticVillainy "good"]] alignment (just LawfulEvil or ChaoticEvil).

** Any of the catapult levels. Catapults aim like ass, take a long time to windup and once fired the camera follows the rock until it lands, during which time the game will still be going, so your target will just move out of the way, requiring re-aiming.

Added DiffLines:

* ThatOneSidequest: A few annoying ones.
** The prime offender being the 1000 gnome genocide SideQuest if you can stomach the patience to continuously mutilate the little guys. It gets worse when you start encountering the gnomes that actually [[GoddamnedBats FIGHT BACK]]!
** Another good candidate is the 100 civilian enslavement SideQuest for Everlight. It seems simple at first, but you soon realize that you can't complete the mission in one go, because a portion of the town is closed off until you can activate the Elf Rebellion SideQuest later on. These elves however, all count towards the 100 civilians for the previous mentioned quest so completing the elf rebellion while also trying to keep the elf rebellers alive to complete the civilian enslavement quest can be quite a struggle, because the roadblocks you come across during the Elf Rebellion quest always seems to get one or two elves unintentionally killed; forcing a restart for the level.
