WIZZARD`S POWER WORDS TO DUNGEON KEEPER V1.1

Here are my Power Words for the long-awaited game DUNGEON KEEPER.
Well, this game has nearly nothing to do with a classical
roleplayer-game like Dungeon Master or Ultima Underworld (my
sisters & me had a nice time in those dungeons ;-) exept the
story. It is more a realtime-strategy-game with some real new &
interesting ideas. And realtime is the right word. You have to be
fast & you've got to know what and where everything happens. In
many cases you can`t direct your monsters like in Warcraft II
("attack this" or "stand there"), but you can direct them though
your planning.

- Money: don`t underestimate the importance of getting enough gold
or better: jewels (infinite supply of money). When you find some
rocks with jewels, dig them free form all sides, click them all &
put many imps next to them. Up to three imps can work at the same
time on one side of a rock. Money problems solved - better than
any credit card ;-)

- You can control your imps by exactly placing on certain places.
For example if you want an imp to mark your dungeon at a special
place, put him at the last marked point. Or put him directly next
to a place where you want him to dig. So you can choose what to be
done first - time is important in this game.

- You like to have many Wizards for fights & for fast research. So
build a BIG library at the beginning. Happy FUL IR!

- Put the demon lizard in the library - it can do research, too.

- After the first levels it is more difficult to find gold near
your main complex. Your imps have to walk long way to bring it to
your treasure chambers. So build some treasure chambers next to
the far-away-gold rocks. In solo-player a good option, but in
multi-player you have to look that no player steals your gold. And
to prevent all your monsters running through the whole dungeon at
the payday you should from time to time take some money to your
treasure chamber next to your fitness center.

- While you continue training your creatures they get more & more
"Hit Points" and sometimes after gaining some levels they can
transform to a higher life form. The demon spawn gets after
the 10. level a dragon.

- Using spells in battle is interesting when you've enough money.
To use them more exacly and faster open the battle window (the
sword of the info-icons). When you hold down the left mouse
button during a spell, it gets more powerful & more expensive
as well.

- If you've got a Pentium 133 or better, you should try the SVGA
Modus (activate with ALT-R): 32 Meg`s or more bring fast & good
gfx.

- From time to time some of your monsters like to walk around and
attack the enemy on their own (for example the flies who are good
explorers of new territory). If you get this
there-is-a-fight-message (you don`t want) you can just take them
fast to another location with the monster menu. This works good
to save imps which are working near enemy territory and get
attacked.

- Traps: nice to have them - bad to run into them. The best way
to get rid of enemy traps is to send some imps into them (one
after another: buy new imps AFTER the trap is destroyed). The
trap looses finally it`s charges.

- Traps II: You want to enter a room with enemies. Open the door
first, remove the attacker. If possible you should put some traps
on the way leading out of the enemies room. Then take a wizard,
put him before the room. Uuuuiii, the alarm goes. Let them fight a
bit, then take him & put him more into the direction of the traps.
The enemies will follow and run into the traps.

- To find all your monsters: right-click them several times in the
monster menu. The computer switches from monster to monster and
shows its location to you.

- Heal your most important monsters after a fight with a spell or
better: give them chicken.

- To use the training or research more effectively you should
build at least some ChickenMcnuggets and treasure cambers next to
the training room or the library. Then your monsters don't have to
walk long distances when they get hungry.

- Specials: you don`t have to use them at the time you find them.
Your imps will carry them to your library, many times it is better
to use them later.

- The temple: they're good at rising the morale (angry creatures
calm down, meditate ;-) If you`ve at least nine squares of temple
and build it near water, a tentacle might join your party.

- The temple II: when sacrificing several imps, they get much
cheaper to buy! Do that, it`s a power trick!

- Talking about sacrifice: a fly & spider: you get a worlock,
beetle & spider: a dark mistress for free, beetle & bettle:
manufacturing completed, fly & fly: research completed (use it
later in the longer research topics). Don't sacrifice undead
creatures or even chicken.

- Even dead creatures can serve your plans, put imps nearby after
the fight, then bring them to the graveyrad. And after some time,
you`ll get a vampire, one of the strongest fighters, treat him
with respect (don`t slap him). To get more of them you can get a
prisoner, put him into a small empty room, lock with a strong door
and add some imps. They'll be killed soon, remove the hero to the
prison and let your imps bring away the dead imps to the graveyard
(better build it nearby). Soon you'll have a nice legion of
vampires. They should get their own training ground, because they
like to fight the worlocks/magicians. You can place a hellhound on
a graveyard to get vampires faster.

- If your monsters are training (& using money when you don't have
enough) just isolate the fitness center with a locked door. But
when your creature get bored, they might fight each other.

- With the combination of prison and torture chamber you can get
new fighters on your side. When your creatures don't kill the
enemies (swich on the prison-symbol in the Info-menu), the imps
will bring them to your prison (place them nearby after fight).
Heal or feed the prisoners (or they will die and become a skeleton
for your army: not the best fighter). When in good condition you
can bring the prisoners to the torture chamber. Sometimes they`ll
tell you some secrets... You can heal them during this procedure &
shure after some time they`ll join you. This is escpecially
interesting when you have inprisoned a strong magician.

- Warping into creatures: a nice thing - not only because of the
feeling walking through your own dungeon. When you control a
creature, it`s more effective in a fight. If you have the time to
do it. If you like to walk through your dungeon without the
control menu hit the TAB-Key.

- Barracks: (wrong translation in the German version: it means
"Kaserne" not "Braracken", hehe) Here you can form a troop out of
a group of monsters. Let some monsters walk in it (two swords
appear over their heads), one will become the leader with the
crown, the monsters will follow him wherever he goes.

- Mistress - they like to be beaten, really. To attract some of
them, you need a big torture chamber. SM in virtual reality ...

- If you need many creatures at a special place, put there a "call
to arms"-spell. To cancel that spell click it three times with the
left button.

- The Horned Reaper is one of the best fighters in this game - and
of course hard to get. You can try to sacrifice a dark mistress, a
bile demon and a troll to get him. But it is difficult to control.
If it gets angry, just gove him some money (drop over it), and
he`ll be in good mood again.

And now, enter your Dungeon, Keeper - with new knowledge you can
win!
