88 Singelplayer maps for DK2

"Wishing Well" is super, but a little bit to easy.

I tried to defeat the enemy keepers with a dark angel, which I succeeded in doing. However, I did not pay attention to the fact that there were other battles apart from this main one, in which I lost almost my entire army.

My army before marching to the king:

1x Dark Angel - Level 10 (There were a hell of a lot of fights he did on his own, hence level 10.)
1x Giant - Level 3
1x Wizard - Level 5
1x Dark Mistress - Level 7
2x Salamander - Level 5 + Level 6
4x Bile Demon - Level 1 + 2x Level 5 + 1x Level 6

I've rarely had a smaller army than this. But these few fighters (and a few lightning traps) forced the king to the ground.

Aahhh, easy you say

Very well fought, but you got backstabbed I see

What's this, you done it and that without using the combat pit, bravo

Now I give you another small army, but if you say it's to easy this time aswell
then I gonna slap you with the hand of Midas...

Another very good map. No, it was not easy. But what can I say: the king is dead.

A few fighters fell on the battlefield, but many survived to celebrate the victory. The fact is: The more fighters die, the more beer is left for the rest.



I hope that you NEVER stop creating DKII maps. Where is the next?

Another good map, but the Lord of the land has gone to his ancestors.

You wouldn't happen to have another 88 cards up your sleeve?

Updated with a reworked map of Queen Of Pain...

Thank you, It feels Good to be triumphant
No, you know that you can play a map more then once, twice if you only tries
but I got...

This new map have I testplayed as I always do before I'm letting them go
and I use the "Reveal Map" special so I can see what the enemies is up to,
when I feel that the map is ok I test it without "Reveal"
now the enemies don't know where to go or tunneling, so I thought about
giving them there own "Reveal Maps", especially the Good white ones,
hilarious
I think they need all the help they can get, (then I kill them, the lot)

To make a map balanced which is, as I see it, one of the most important
work, if not the most important, to make a map fun to play, all considering
those bugs

It's hard to be a mapmaker, so I must rest for a while now (run out of ideas)

I agree!

But I have to "criticize" one thing: The game is too easy. After several waves of warriors of the good guys are defeated, you can easily overcome the other keepers.

Ok, I don't want to understate, because the fight is not soooo easy then. But at the latest after defeating the green keeper I was too strong or the other one too weak. The blue keeper has not the spark of a chance and was defeated in a hurry.

This criticism should now but please not be understood negatively, but should help to improve the whole.

Besides, it is only my personal opinion. I am anything but a beginner when it comes to DKII. "Normal" players will probably find "Queen of pain" harder.

I hope you will not rest longer than two days.

What I would be interested in: How do you approach a new map? Do you start the editor and just get started? Do you draw sketches of what the dungeon should look like beforehand? Or completely different?

Thanks Crafty.. Here they are, have fun. https://www.mediafire.com/file/5ra1k...rMaps.zip/file

Hi there, really cool maps as far as I could play. Unfortunately I can see only 7 maps in skirmish mode. Anyone else have this issue?

You have shortcuts that I've made, you can use them
but first you must right click them and choose "Properties"
and in the "Target" box where you see.. (example)

"E:\Dungeon Keeper 2\DKII.exe" -q -level "Whynots Alien"

change the path "E:\Dungeon Keeper 2\ " -to were you have DK2 installed
but leave... \DKII.exe" -q -level "Whynots Alien"

also in the "Start in:" box "E:\Dungeon Keeper 2" ...do the same

Then you start with this shortcut and when you have a "save" in the game
and want continue to play another time
then you start with the original DK2.exe (or your original shortcut)
and load your save

-
This might help if you have a nVIDIA card installed
to make DK2 crash less on W10.

1. Right click on your desktop, choose NVIDIA Control Panel
2. Choose, Adjust desktop color settings (to the left)
3. Choose, Other applications control color settings > Apply
4. Choose, Manage 3D settings (to the left)
5. Choose, the tab > Program Settings
6. (1. Select a program to customize search for dkii.exe (If you don’t see it already)
7. Go to Texture filtering – Trilinear optimization > make it Off.
(and save often)

(And don't forget to read my ReadMe files (if there is one) for each map before playing them
it may help
