* Don't get too attached to your minions as they'll just die in some battle or another. While they technically pick up equipment from killing enemies its almost entirely cosmetic and doesn't really add anything to their abilities so don't be afraid to just send them to their deaths. While its good to have a mix of minions once you unlock the other races you'll want to mainly stick with the brown ones since they do the most damage to just about everyone.(Counterpoint:
That's not true at all, equipped minions take less damage and deal out more damage. Early on in the game it doesn't make a lot of difference, but with the equipment they pick up later it makes the minions hugely more effective.)
* Dump enough minions into the stat on your armor that gives you at least a small amount of HP regeneration, and keep doing it over time. It'll let the Overlord rush into battle at times as well and you won't have to worry about the consequences since he'll just heal himself. Maxing out the best set of armor in the game (Arcanum wasn't it? I forget) with a high HP regen stat lets you solo the tower's arena pretty much by yourself (which is almost necessary for some enemies like the giant slugs).

* For Overlord, I would say to not bother upgrading or forging anything until you get the third forge. Save your lifeforce and gold because you seriously fuck shit up with fully upgraded Aracanium equipment. You can solo most of the dungeon at that point.

* If you want to deck out your minions, the dungeon is a great location until you get to the desert. Dwarf warriors will drop the best equipment in the dungeon. If they're not available, zombie hordes drop really good stuff as well.
