Once you get overlapping empires, you need to find two towns that are really close together.  Once you find them, you can visit each town quickly to see if they are towns of different species.  Then there are two ways to do it:

1) If neither town is your race, try to get some enemies from one town to chase you to the other town.  This is why you need to two towns that are close together -- so you don't have to run for a long time.

2) If one of the towns is your race, then it is a lot easier.  Go to the friendly town.  Get a following of people.  Lead them to the nearby enemy town.

For instance, if you take the Demon's seed #10, choose to be a kobold.  On the left hand side of the map, there is an overlapping empire (kobold/mole dog).  Look for town squares where it lists two town names -- this means that there might be two nearby towns.  If you don't find one, just restart the game, and use seed 10 again -- town placement doesn't depend on the seed right now, so you'll get a new town layout.  Eventually (it shouldn't take long) you'll get two very nearby towns, one kobold and one mole dog.

Seed 22 overlaps Ice dragons and Leaf Tailed Gecko men and best of all its semi aquatic terrian so everyone is squished together!  I have the best luck with placment when I'm a male L.T.G.M.  Theyre on an island in the upper right corner.
