Dungeons Game

Dungeons follows the mis-adventures of the foremost of all Dungeon Lords who spends his time luring heroes into his labyrinthine creations with the promise of treasure and a good fight - only to be trapped by his ingenious devices However our protagonist falls victim to a devious plot hatched by his thoroughly vile ex-girlfriend and finds himself at the bottom of the underworld hierarchy and the top of the dungeon pile which in this world is about as bad as it can get Our Lord must have his revenge and make his way back down the dungeon levels to his rightful place At his disposal are his dim-witted goblin minions who dig tunnels and build rooms to lay out his lair and trap ever stronger and braver heroes who dare to enter It goes without saying that a malicious and sneaky creature such as
our Dungeon Lord has more than a few tricks up his sleeve Revenge will be sweet indeed Lesson 1 Happy Heroes Awesome ResourcesYour main job as a Dungeon Lord is to keep heroes happy Yes you read that rightyou have to keep the heroes entertained - but not because you&re a nice guy No you see a happy hero equals a hero who is rich with wonderful and powerful soul energy That soul energy is what we in the dungeon-making trade consider a prime resource so if you can fatten up heroes they become ripe with soul energy that you can siphon from them in prison cells and torture chambers MmmmI do love a good torture chamber So what sort of needs to these pesky adventurers have?• Need for Treasure The hero loves treasure and shiny things He satisfies that need by stuffing his bags with the
contents of a treasure chamber • Need for Knowledge The hero is frankly a nerd and quests for knowledge to he can prove he&s smarter than anyone else He satisfies that need by reading books in libraries • Need for Equipment The hero just plain loves cool stuff If this were the modern world he&d be the guy sitting around the electronics store waiting for the latest gadget to be released This type of hero satisfies his cravings by stealing new items from armories • Need for Damage Some heroes are just plain weird This hero acknowledges his masochistic instincts and just loves it when monsters inflict damage on him in battle I think I dated someone like this a while back • Need to cause Damage This hero has a sadistic need to inflict damage on monsters (now that&s my kind
of man!) The stronger the monster the greater the satisfaction he gets in delivering a sound pounding to it • Need for Traps Much like the damage-seeker this hero is certainly one of the stranger creatures you&ll meet as he satisfies his needs by tripping traps• Need to Heal Others What a sweetheart (yuck!)this hero type has a need to heal others He satisfies it by healing other heroes with potions and healing spells you leave around the dungeon for him to discover You might be wondering how exactly you meet these adventurers& needs Good it means you&re paying attention to the lesson! You meet each type of need by building specific provider rooms each custom-tailored to specific needs Here&s the list of provider rooms you can build -The different Need Provider Rooms•
Treasury You can build treasuries wherever is space Heroes with a Need for Treasure will automatically go to a treasury and take your precious gold from it until it is empty If you have enough Gold your goblin workers will automatically refill any empty coffers to ensure that you can satisfy all the heroes • Armory and Library You can build those only in rooms (at least 2x2 tiles) of a specific type Armories fulfill the need for equipment while libraries fulfill the need for knowledge There are three different types of gimmicks you can stock these rooms with Interaction gimmicks are important for they are what let the heroes use the room at all You can only assign one interaction gimmick per room The interaction gimmick determines the amount that a hero can "steal" from a
roomEfficiency gimmicks determine the speed at which the hero satisfies the corresponding need Heroes can therefore satisfy their current need more quickly in a high-efficiency room than in a more inefficient room Your goblin workers can restore the room&s capacity by working on efficiency gimmicksCapacity gimmicks determine the supplies that the room has to offer Every time a hero fulfills his needs in this room the room&s supply decreases Lastly how do we satisfy those heroes who love to receive or inflict damage or can&t get enough trap-tripping? That&s all part of the dungeon design kit my attentive student! By using gimmicks you can place monster spawn points or traps throughout the dungeon When a hero passes by one he could end up in a battle with blobs skeletons zombies or far worse
If you&ve played your cards right you&ll be able to knock out the hero take him to your prison cells or torture chambers and extract some soul energy turning that pesky hero into a sort of battery filled with lovely soul energy There you have it my Dungeon Lord in training a look at what sort of turn-ons the heroes in Dungeons have and how you can meet those needs in order to attract more targets excuse me "heroes" to the dungeon - so you can capture the witless fools and steal their precious soul energy away!
