Hello! I've been lurking on here for about a month now, picking up good ideas of maps to play based on reviews and recommendations from some of you guys. And I've been having a blast, playing "new" (to me at least) maps for the first time in years - so thank you to everyone who's contributed to the many threads, particularly YourMaster for this one https://keeperklan.com/threads/4528-...ight=best+maps which I've found several great suggestions on.
Bit of background - I've been playing DK1 on-and-off since it came out in the late 90s. I pick it up again every couple of years and blast through the original campaign and Deeper Dungeons. But this year the bug bit harder and after I'd finished DD again I went searching for more - glad I found this place and KeeperFX!
The only campaign I've tried is "Burdened Imps" which was great (not overly difficult, but a nice challenge anyway). It fitted the bill for me of maps that have some pressure, but ultimately reach a stage where you can settle back, train and grow, and just enjoy having a dungeon - before taking the fight to the heroes/other keepers on your own terms. I guess I prefer maps that allow you to wall yourself in (or guardpost lava/water) and control the pace, at least after some initial problems to overcome. But I don't mind maps that are constant pressure too, as long as the challenge is reasonable and not dependent on reloading a save game hundreds of times!
The keeper.lubiki site seems to be down the last couple of days so I can't trawl thorough for single maps that I might like, so kind of stuck with Campaigns from KeeperFX (using the unofficial one so it's up-to-date) for now.
With that in mind, what Campaigns are worth me playing? Ancient Keeper seems a little daunting from what I've read (will try it soon though I'm sure), but I read mixed things about some of the others, and I don't really want to invest hours on broken or pointless maps, particularly if part of a campaign that I then can't finish properly.
All suggestions will be gratefully received!
