Goblin Army explained | analysing Overlord 

First Part about Enris Goblin Troop: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yVWcKAW9s3o.html

Beating a goblin in arm wrestling may also be one of the conditions. The game mechanic recognized Enri as becoming stronger than a goblin squad leader, even though it was a set up.

Goblin slayer would like to know your location

Given the nature of YGGDRASIL, I think one of the conditions is to have the initial goblin troop survive for an unspecified amount of time. Another condition would be some kind of level investment as a commander or summoner.

Me: I am a well informed overlord fan and know everything about it. OverAnalyzingEverything: Are sure about that?

I wonder how the army will react when they meet ainz

Enri shall have a CGI Army to BLOCK OUT THE SUN!

I believe the main reason why Enri was able to summon the Goblin Army, was due to the levels she gained in Sergeant(1), Commander(2) and General(2) by the end of Volume 8. She even displayed the ability to use voice commands, similar do Demiurge. But it is also very likely that those weren't the only conditions for the summon, otherwise everyone in YGDRASSIL would know about it. It was probably a combination of those classes plus the conditions mentioned in the video. On another topic... I think you're going the wrong way, about how people gain experience in the New World. According to Sebas (and Evileye later on), the best way to level up in the New World, is by surviving life-or-death situations. Apparently, the surge of adrenaline helps unlock new abilities in the people of the New World. This method was later applied, with much success, to Hamsuke and the Lizardmen inside Nazarick. They were forced to fight against stronger foes than themselves, to the brink of death, then they were healed up, buffed and forced to fight even stronger foes, in a hellish regime. This training resulted in Hamsuke learning Martial Arts (with the help of Erya). I'm very curious to know their current level... Another mistake I see often, is people thinking Mare used Greed and Generosity to store the "XP points" gained during the battle/massacre of Katze Plains... ---First of all, I don't think the concept of "XP points" exists in the New World. From what I could gather, in the New World, Experience is exactly that: real life Experiences. You "level up" simply by learning new things and improving upon them. And going through near-death situations only accelerates the process. ---Second, the only reason Mare had this World Item equipped, was to defend himself against other World Items. If the goal was to store "XP points", Mare would have to be the one performing the massacre (which he totally could... In fact, it's very possible that Mare would do way worse than Ainz! In an effort to do earn praise from of Ainz-sama, he would do his best to clean up every single enemy soldier without leaving a single one alive). ---Third and final, Ainz used this massacre as a final test to see if he could surpass the level cap of 100. Before he was transported to the New World, Ainz was a level 100 character with a 99% "XP bar". By killing over 100.000 people, even though they were much lower level and would only give 1xp point each, he should have gained enough experience to level up. But nothing happened... This brings me to a final theory I have... What if Ainz has already surpassed the level 100 cap, but simply didn't notice it... If what I understood is correct, and you gain levels in the New World by learning new things and improving upon them... It might be possible that Ainz has gained a few levels in "Actor", "Charisma", "Lord of the Castle" or some other miscellaneous Jobs, without him even noticing it. After all, there is no "ding!" sound inside your head in a real world. It might also be possible that, in the New World, not every level gives you an overall attribute improvement, like in YGDRASSIL. Maybe you just get a small improvement to the stats related to the Job you learned. So even if Ainz gained 10 levels in "Actor", 15 levels in "Charisma" and 5 levels in "Lord of the Castle" (just an example), his HP and MP won't change at all, but he still more skilled overall. Or maybe I'm completely wrong about everything! You guys tell me what you think! XD

mine theory on why the second horn summoned an army and not just around two dozen goblins was because of three conditions that Enri meet that Aniz and other players didn't. first to get the army you need to summons other monsters or creatures and keep them alive for a period of time as massive as Nazarick is I'm assuming in game a base or dungeon raid would take between 45min to a couple hours maybe more on top tier dungeon. So in game keep a summon or summons alive for 15 to 20min is reasonable and if you don't know about the ability to get an army you are most likely just going to use the summons as meat shields/cannon fodder. Enri meets this condition as the first troop of goblins have been summoned for months before the battle. condition two arming or equipping the summons the summoner need to equip the summon or summoned with new item and if you see the summons as chaff you are less likely to bother especially if the summons have an auto loot figure like NPCs from Fallout 4 so even if a player keep the summon or summoned alive if they are upgrading their inventory they most likely would not bother. Enri meet this condition after her trip to E-Rantal when she give the goblins newer weapons. the three condition is the most important as a game feature to prevent summon spam the summoner must be the party leader, guild leader or be an extremely high rank in a join-able faction and I sure that player if they knew of a mechanic like this would most likely try to use it crashing the game server so the developer didn't talk about it but keep it as a unlisted challenge/ reward. Enri meets this third condition when she becomes village chief

im waiting summons like Guan Yu , Lu Bu and other they already have Zhuge Liang as goblin

It seems likely that the one using the horn has to have leader-type class levels as well. My guess, since it would have to be something that could be judged in terms of the game, is that it is a combination of Enris leadership class and all of the goblins summoned by a horn still being alive after some arbitrary length of time.

I think she was able to summon the goblin general because she has the heart of a true leader.

Seriously though, what a reversal of fate!! The village that was supposed to be wiped out by Theocracy's onslaught stood up to Kingdom's army and defeated it.

I feel like the number of Goblins summoned, and their power, is affected by the User's Commander Level. With no Commander level, you get the first troop, but with the several levels Enrie had, she got the 5000 Goblin Army. I bet if she had a maxed out Commander Levels, it army summoned would be pretty insane.

Small correction at 11:20. Remedios is actually the 3rd strongest and the goblin paladin is 2nd, the strongest one in the region is someone from the Black Scripture. And the Slane Theocracy has 3 God-kins

Enri best farm girl!

I hope in the anime they’d go back and update on what’s happened to the village since, even though it’s not happened in the LN.

I was waiting for this explaining video, happy new year ya'll

My theory is that a goblin player has entered the same world. The horn affects all goblins in the area. Sick of the horns affecting the goblins, the player instead sent an army of goblins to follow under enri's command.

"spontaneous 180 degree charge." I like it.

That’s one huge army.

Doesn't it said in LN that to summon this type of large troops you have to have high level in command skill. she is commanding bodyguard goblin for awhile and then she was made chief of village and other monster come under her command which i think helps her boost her skill and when she blows that horn she has met all requirement to summon goblin army and after summoning them her skill should have increase allot.

If ainz blew that horn, he could have summoned a new moon with 5 whole goblin nations of billions ....

LOLOLOL ive rewatched overlord a million times but ive never noticed how sad the horse is at 5:40 LOL

Love your Overlord content! Sorry I haven't commented on more of your videos as I should have, but they really have helped me with my own fiction writing. I know you don't really go into the what-if videos all that much, but I was hoping you would be willing to explore a small thought that has always puzzled me in regards to the plot direction of Overlord: "What if Ainz and Nazarick had officially allied with the Re-Estize Kingdom instead of the Baharuth Empire?" This was something I had a slight bit of trouble understanding when I watched the anime (still haven't gotten the light novels for myself yet, darn it). With so much of Momonga's/Ainz's actions relating to the Re-Estize Kingdom early on when he and Nazarick first arrived in the new world, why didn't he try to 'keep the momentum going', as it were? As far as I am aware, both Carne Village and E-Rantel are at the border between Re-Estize and Baharuth, but are both part of Re-Estize. So Momonga/Ainz saves Carne Village and saves the life of Gazef Stonoff, the chief head warrior of Re-Estize and personal envoy of the King. Then Ainz takes the persona of The Adventurer Momon and registers in E-Rantel. He saves E-Rantel from Zurrernorn's army of undead, saves the renowned prodigy Nfirea Bareare, and secures the service of the master alchemist Lizzie Bareare. Then he 'kills' a powerful vampire that rises Momon's rank to Adamantite, which is supposed to be a very big deal. With there being only a half-dozen or so Adamantite adventurer groups known throughout the entire continent, wouldn't the King of Re-Estize wanted to meet a new group that appeared in his kingdom? And yes, I know adventurers are supposed to stay out of politics and remain neutral to all nations, but that's not how it is in practice. Momon even gets involved with Blue Rose, and they are personal friends of Princess Renner, yet another connection to Re-Estize. Then there is the whole matter of Ainz and Nazarick taking down/control of the Eight Fingers criminal organization which had been running a lot of operations in Re-Estize. I am under the impression that yes, the Re-Estize Kingdom is not in as good social and economic condition as the Baharuth Empire, and that the royal family of Re-Estize is loosing power and influence to the nobles. But that should only make Re-Estize all the more enticing for Ainz to ally with. With all the things he had already done that could be interpreted as helpful to Re-Estize, he could build himself up as an even greater hero, both as the Sorcerer Ainz Ooal Gown and as the Adventurer Momon, and aid the royal family in reestablishing its power and control. And yet, after just one invasion of Nazarick by some workers from Baharuth, and a single meeting with Emperor Jircniv, Ainz decides to ally with Baharuth and fights on their side against Re-Estize at the battle of Katze Plains. I understand that Ainz was just trying to humor Demiurge and the other guardians and what they believed Ainz had intended all along, but I just feel that he should have recognized at least some of what his own actions had accomplished and might have been interested in continuing building an even greater hold on the Re-Estize Kingdom. So after all, the King of Re-Estize had expressed his interest in meeting the Sorcerer Ainz Ooal Gown, and Gazef was the perfect means of arranging the meeting. So what if Ainz had 'officially' signed an ally treaty with Re-Estize? And would it change Nazarick's take-over of E-Rantel? I hope your greater detailed knowledge of the Overlord universe would find this idea at least worth some consideration. (Sorry if this is an unwanted request, but you're the best Overlord reviewer on RU-vid as far as I know.) Again, really enjoy your content!

Great videos 👍 wish the story never ended

I think it's a dice roll and she just had a natural 20 with it

Goblin Slayer: Urge ... to kill … *RISING!!!*

Goblin slayer: i see, a goblin general have emerged.

Thats interessing, i don't know this lot of details about the goblin army, thanks, this will help my rpg a loot.

8:05 that one huge ass arrow right there

I mean the goblin army is one of the strongest military might in Overlord since they've surpassed human potential let alone a structural command is so enormous. meaning the village has expanded to coexist with goblins and humans and in relation, the humans in carne village already accepted the goblins as part of their lives. funfact: no one in the goblin army died after being summoned. they single handedly defeated an equal number of human soldiers. red caps alone are very strong and they are tasked to protect the highest order of the ranking and also assassinate the strongest enemies. they are slightly above than adamantium adventurers in comparison which really says about Enri's might is not to be underestimated. thankfully they work under Enri and under Ains so Carne Village would be a much secure place to live.

While I can't speculate about the third condition, I can think of two conditions just going by the name, "The Horn of the Goblin General." By that evidence, it's safe to presume that to get the full 5000 goblins, the person or creature blowing the horn must be both a goblin and a general. When Prince Barbro was attacking Carne village, Enri was both a goblin, by adoption (shown when the goblin troops adopted addressed Enri as "big sister"), and had several levels in "General." This would have been impossible in the Yggdrasil game because players couldn't be goblins, as they only exist as computer generated monsters, and have no consciousness.

Nice job

Such a good video

I missed two things: 1) how about food supplies? 2) how did they integrate into the area? Do they build a permanent settlement, what will they do, when no one calls them to arms, what do the locals think of suddenly being the minority?

I feel like Ainz is the type of guy to summon Yhorm the giant, and a couple fire giants from Elden ring as "low tier summons"

During the first part of the battle, even the Carn villagers were steadfast in their loyalty to Ainz. They have no idea if he is coming or not but they are genuinely thankful to him. Enri is loyal to Ainz as well. I wonder if this might be a part of the reason that she was able to summon such a strong goblin army....a small part. It is ironic how loyal they all are to Ainz when he only cares if four of them live. A lot of people mention that this show is underrated and I agree. Ainz really has to stay on his toes at all times. He is in a tough spot. He really cares about his people but if they find out he really is human they might turn on him. Just guessing, but I think some might already know that he is.

Blessed channel

This is just speculation but what if one of the conditions for summoning that many goblins is having some levels in a specific class maybe like the goblin general after all the names of the Horns at the Horns of the goblin general

Nice Video

My personal theory about the goblin horns, is that they're magical properties are more like teleportation not summoning. Remember, it was observed that the spells in Ygasdril simply made creatures out of thin air but in the new world such spells operate differently. The Goblins summoned by the horns were probably any goblins "in the area" who would have a reason to not be hostile to the 'summoner' and said goblins were simply teleported to Enri. The fact that she treated them like people, and part of the village would have been passed on to ALL goblins in a wider area, possibly even in neighboring countries. Chances are as the enemy marched towards the town word was already spreading a Goblin Friendly village was about to be tramples - and the horn literally just teleported the already amassing goblin forces who would have willingly come to Enri's aid - directly to the town. En - mass. Instead of waiting for them to arrive a little bit at a time and way to late to be of assistance.

I really want to know what will happen if Ainz will use the "Horn of Goblin General" as the Soccerous King. Whether the same Goblin Army will get summoned or a much more stronger one like that only comprises of Red-Caps, Assassin Corps ??

A few fun facts about the actual real world units they are based on. (As in our real world, not the old world) Cavalry: is basically useless in frontal attacks against a concentrated infantry formation that stands its ground.... Simply put, horses aren't stupid enough to willingly impale themselves on spears and swords, the only animal that is this stupid, are humans. You can see this going back even before the days of proper cavalry, with how chariots fared against different formations (they worked pretty good as terror weapons, not-so-much against trained and disciplined formations). It is in flanking that they work against this kind of infantry. Of course they are also really good against infantry that are spread out such as skirmishers and against infantry that has been routed. You can see the failure of cavalry at places as varied as Waterloo to Cunaxa, to Bannockburn, even through most of the battle of Hastings. Though to be fair, Bannockburn had as much to do with terrain if not more, than it did infantry. Heavy infantry vs light infantry: During the march of the Ten Thousand, the Greeks on the right wing of Cyrus' army steamrolled the Persian left that they were facing, twice in the same battle, with a claim of only single digits for the number of deaths in their ranks. (mainly the Persian left pissed itself and ran away) The story of The Ten Thousand as written by Xenophon in the Anabasis, is easily one of the most epic, interesting and amazing true stories about war in all of human history. It reads like an adventure novel, but has the distinction of being non-fiction. Even being written by one of the Greeks who was on the campaign. If you want a truly epic war story, go read it. Musical instruments: you can look at various types of fighting and see how they like to try and use sounds that are not at the forefront of the natural noise of the battle. On wooden ships, that have lots of low frequency noises, you get really high pitched whistles and bells, while the archaic and classical age spartans would use flutes to set the pace. Wolves: Actually developed a natural attack that is almost a variation of Alexander III's (Alexander The Great) famous hammer & anvil, utilizing wind. By putting a member of a pack upwind of prey, they would use the wind to push its scent to the prey, which would run away from the smell. Right into the rest of the pack who have been waiting downwind. Then it was time for dinner. I just thought that people watching a video on an army might find this to be interesting or amusing, or both. There are a million more things that could be said about the real world things that the units in Overlord are based on, but I shall leave it at that.

Not sure if it's as remarkable in terms of processing power needed to animate the summoned army as you think, considering Yggdrasil was released in 2126

If i had to take a guess I think the goblin summoned the first time most likely has an affection level only when that affection level is Max the next time the whistle gets used the summonor gets an army. A simple reason no one knew about it or found out is no player kept them alive or treated them with any level of care so their affection level never reached Max as most RPGs tend to put goblins as a low level noobie mob. It's a lot like in some games you get an item that seems to be just filler item with some vanilla text and players toss it and only after someone just so happens to keep said item do they find out it was the key to the strongest item in the game or at least one of them.

Very well done. I appreciate any extra info in the Overlord universe.

I thought it was clearly explained in the anime? Enri leveled up her Goblin "control" (leader, commander, general whatever you want to name the skill to control the goblins) skill by continually using the goblin she first summoned, and later the orges or whatever they were. It may also be that her use of a 2nd horn, while still having the goblins from the 1st horn around, boosted it's effect or acts like a reinforcement/backup call to the main army, thus resulting in a larger army being called but this one is less likely

The goblins in overlord are a lot nicer to the humans, than the goblins in goblin slayer...

summon condition: afffection lv 10 toward goblin race

I hope we can see more of the goblin army witch I belive have been confirmed by accident by the makers at Convention lol

I'm sure one of the requirements was having leadership levels.

What about that the first time she blew it she was just a woman from the village, the second time she blew it she was the chief of the village The 5000 army could be just because she is in a ranked position as chief of the village

Plz overanalyze Ainz fight with darkness coffin dragon lord

In the book 'the Lizardmen Heroes', it's said there are THREE 'Demi-God Awakened' in the Sloan Theocracy.....so you missed one (probably Ruffus).

The Commander skill makes the most sense. 5,000 could easily be the limit for the horn or it could be relation to the enemy army. Problem is the New World has different rules than the game so, coming from the game I imagine that certain rules wouldn't apply. As I highly doubt any staff member of a MMORPG would allow a player to summon a army of 5,000 Goblins much less as organized as they were.

The author says the goblin army could beat the army of the kingdom but aside from assassination against their command structure wouldn't their sheer numbers surround and overwhelm them? Breaking their morale is the only way I can see them pulling it of unless the bombardment core can dish out a constant bombardment for the entire battle.

for Enris unique level up she got that Goblin Army.

the most hilarious plot point ever employed

War horses are not necessarily that much larger than non-warhorses. The largest horses were draft horses that were too slow to be of much use in warfare and were usedly mostly for plowing the fields and pulling heavy carts and wagons. The famous Nisean chargers used by the Persian and Iranian people for their heavy armored cavalry/cataphracts had a muscular torso but had stocky legs. English destriers/war horses of the high and late middle ages were not particularly large according to period paintings/depictions and from the size of the horse armor from the late middle ages to Renaissance era.

Since the first set of goblins stayed did this army stay too?

What season/does this take place in?

GOBLIN BEAST RIDERS- they do not rider wolves, they are mounted on bats(OR SOMETHING). I think they can fly, and therefore have arrows.

I laughed when the Army showed up

Is this goblin stategist on par with Zhuge Liang ?

there are more then 5 in the goblin bombardment squad

Enri's army became the third strongest army in the new world.

How to bring a spoiled a hole prince down in Overlord, use goblins

i though it was her class that did that cus after i read the novel it shows she gain a goblin commander class and general

So, she summoned Skarsnik

It was even a good joke. However, if you were serious, I have to correct it. Horses perform well both in difficult terrain and on the battlefield. Equally synchronized maneuvers with the entire formation are possible only due to the susceptibility of horses to training. Such ussaria was able to perform an immediate backward maneuver with the entire formation consisting of the synchronized return of individual horses in place. P.S. Horses are not as delicate as you think.

You got this wrong man. Those red caps that Enri have are not level 43 those i think are at level 30 to at most~ level 35. I understand the confusion on this, you got this wrong because you think what Lupu summoned was the same red caps that was summoned for the army but if you read the novels you would understand that what Lupu summoned was distinctly different and is stronger than your typical red cap. After all the novel described those red caps that Lupu summoned are LIKE the red caps that Enri summoned and besides they had different weapons so its likely the red caps Lupu summoned to be stronger but anyways do check it cause i dunno could be wrong here😅 edit:chapter 219 if you have the novel

Hmm an interesting video, you did well but is it really Longbows the Goblins have? Given their height I find it hard to believe.

I wonder if YGGDRASIL was made with a special purpose. maybe thats why ainz was sent there.

ok this is dope but i mean this is a army in one scene and they have this level of depth

Horses are braver than you think. The wolves were for size.

....I wonder how they fed the Goblin Army once it appeared? ....maybe they came with some amount of supplies?

if ainz had 2 horns and there trash i feel like he should have had more.

The rize of enris kingdom

i have an army of high level mobs

My thoughts on that is 1st: have the general class, 2n: spend a long time with the goblins without them dying and lastly, 3rd: have another goblin horn. What do you guys think?

The heavy infantry core. This implyes that there is a lighter infantry wich we see in the Beastriders but also the Archers, don't we. The magic users are another thing entirely. One could argue that the light infantry counterpart to the heavy infantry are the archers and that the beastriders are the same thing to the more heavily geared Paladins in terms of cavalery. Oh wait nevermind yeah it is that way because Paladins and Beastriders are cavalery while Archers and Heavys are infantry are they not?

owns

That CGI thou, kill it with fire.

i would give her more goblin horns, she could build a goblin empire

Goblin army might be the 2nd strongest we have seen so far. Pretty sure they beat all the human armies and the lizardman

Talking about cavalry it reminds me of The Death Korps of Krieg's Cavalry those horses are fucking overpowered as it can take two bolt shells

10:42 Lokk dude i know its traditional and all, but wolves are shit for riding in battle. They 're too close to the ground , so no height advantage. They suck at turning , you 'find your as flying if you try. A war saddle would break a wolf's spine. There 's a reason we ride horses IRL. Pound for pound ,they are stronger and have more stamina than a wolf. Wolves win by numbers , and by going after the weak, the sick, the injured. Those the herd is wiling to sacrifice.

Is Ainz the goblins god of evil ho lend the goblins to protekt and mantain enris happines?

Enri's Goblin Troop and Goblin Army vs Goblin Slayer Who would win?

for some reason every-time i hear about these godkin ... i feel more hatred towards them! i already hate them as is! they just feel like they were designed to be hated! in Yggdrasil info was very priceless and knowledge was the strongest weapon you can hold into! even the eclipse class of Ainz himself was a hidden class by itself! this video is really good! i won't mind repeating it at least 3 times over! lots of great info! thanks man!

Ok

Za dashu snaku Zigur, Durbgu nazgshu, Durbgu dashshu!!

The cg in the anime was wack, but still cool to see Enri's power

If I recall correctly, wasn't there a paladin among the Black Scripture? I read that in the overlord fan wiki that references author thoughts from Vol 12. That black scripture paladin comes before Remedios. So if the Goblin Paladin leader is 2nd strongest, that would mean Remedios comes in third and is actually weaker than the leader of Enri's paladin group.

she became chief and horn got hiden power if chieftain uses it

Zat gerrrrman akzent is quite stronk 😂 No seriously nice analysis. You do not happen to Be a total war player do you?

You're german, right? Just asking, because the way you sound is very familiar.
