Heyo, I've been lurking for a bit, and I noticed that a lot of the discussion here is about getting things to work, or using the editor, so I decided to make a thread that's about any and all discussion of the campaign.
I hadn't actually played Dungeon Keeper 2 for years. I was 11 when the game came out, and I never managed to finish it back then, so I'm really going through the campaign for mostly the first time. I remember that when I was a kid, I always got stuck at Emberglow because I could never figure out how to beat the first few giants. I finally got past that level yesterday (yay moment for me) and I also beat Snapdragon in the first attempt (it was extremely easy).
Then I promptly got stuck on Silverstream, the one where you have to Ambush the Lord of the Land who gets people at the guard rooms. I'm a slow, stay in your base and build up type strategy gamer, so levels that require a lot of speed throw me a little (it's one of the reasons I'll never be good at StarCraft, Zerg rushes kill me), and I just couldn't get the guard rooms destroyed on time.
Well, I figured out how to beat that level with my style of play. I just built up and trained my creatures, and I didn't even touch the guard rooms. I just built a bridge all the way to where the Lord of the Land emerges from the Hero Gates. Then I Thunderbolted him to stun him, and again when he got up, and again. The rest of his posse just kept walking to the guard room, leaving him behind alone and defenseless. So I just dumped my trained up Bile Demons and Mistresses on him, and he didn't stand a chance against them on his own, especially with me still thunderbolting him.
That level will never give me trouble again.
Anyone else have any thoughts on the campaign?
