Electronic Arts' Dungeon Keeper is a fun game that allows you to manage your own dungeon and fight back against invading territories, while planning a few raids of your own to increase expansion and productivity. It's enjoyable if you have some time on your hands.
Here are some tips that'll help you through the game.
The first is Stone. With this, you'll be able to build new items in your dungeon, including a treasury for your earnings, a workshop for traps and buildings to surround the heart of your dungeon, which is what keeps it going.
The second is Gold. You'll earn this via gold mines on a regular basis, and also clean up on it by plundering other dungeons, or digging around into new areas of your own dungeon.
Finally, there are Gems. This is the rarest commodity of the bunch, as you'll use it to increase productivity by getting more imps or speeding up progress on certain jobs. You'll start out with about 500 when you begin the game, but you'll soon need to add more, either by completing Achievements or digging further into your dungeon. They can also be purchased separately, in case you're impatient.
From there, you can add new areas to your dungeon using resources, bringing imps to your group or new areas to earn more Stone and Gold. This will help increase the number of traps you can put down, making your Dungeon Heart less penetrable to invaders. The more it thrives in each battle, the more opportunity you'll have at making it stronger - and expanding your dungeon as a result.
As you go about opening new areas of the dungeon, you'll be able to use 2x efficiency boosts. To do this, go to the Imps section on your menu and swipe these creatures in order to slap them. This will motivate them for a small amount of time, so don't hesitate to task them in digging around new areas.

In addition to traps you can lay down for would-be defenders, you can occasionally call upon a spell that allows you to eliminate enemies directly, whether by turning into chickens and plucking them out of existence (one of our favorites) or using a demon to breathe fire on them. These spells can be a bit expensive to utilize, but they're handy when it comes to conquering a dungeon, or keeping your Dungeon Heart safe.How do traps work in Dungeon Keeper?
Traps are used to fend off invading forces in your dungeon. Usually, they're static ones you place in certain parts, like floor spikes and fire pits. It's best to place these in the doorways of the shortest routes to the Dungeon Heart. While that may not sound as convenient as placing them in the long routes, keep in mind that enemy forces like to take the shortest route anywhere in a dungeon. You'll take them out for sure, provided you have enough traps put down. If not, use your secondary forces or spells to wipe them out.How can I test the efficiency of a dungeon in Dungeon Keeper?

Best of all, it won't cost you any minion resources to do this - only 200 gold. It can also be a humorous break from raiding other peoples' dungeons.
