Well, let's see. First, move out skeletons and zombies into the entrance hall, raise some platforms for our archers and mages to fire from, with steps leading to them at the back of the area. Put our swordskellies in front of that, and in front of them put a line of rockfall traps. Hows that? We can enable or disable the traps at will, right?

Can we put pit traps in between the adventurers and our skellies?  Added safety measure, plus more chance of them falling in.

And if adventurers have archers with them? Then it is just wait to see who got best/more archers. We need a bait that nobody can ignore.

I would like to update this, but currently I only have some very vague ideas from you guys to go on. Escaped lurker's plan is the only thing that has some actual solid numbers, and placement ideas to it.

Basically you're going to have to tell me what traps you want to place, and where. I could take the locations you've stated so far, and randomly decide how many traps to place there from what you guys have suggested so far. However, that takes a lot of the control from you guys and leaves me guessing on what to actually do.

-snip
add a hall (5dp) between the entrance hall and the stairs to the mausoleum. place deadfall trap (20 dp) in it.
place a spike pit trap (20 dp) in hallway leading from Entrance hall to bat room.

...

arrange minions as such: Bat room: Emperor Bat and four bats
Everyone else in the Mausoleum, with skeletons in front, captain bones just behind, archers and elementalist further back, but in line of sight of entrance. (is the entrance hall tall enough for the bats to fly in? If so, put the remaining four in there, too, up on the ceiling, naturally).
[/b]

been suggesting this for like four turns now.

Guys and gals, we can't just rase the floor,  apparently the bast we can do, for that effect is to move a coffin, which we have one in our entrance that is useable, and move it there. That is as far as he gave use to that effect.

Again, we should place traps in conjunction with minions. Traps alone aren't particularly effective.

[zomara0292]

That's why I gave the idea of the pitfall trap over the batroom. It leads to it being like a zombie pit, in that anything that falls in is prone and swarmed, but, if nothing falls in, it leads to a secret attack, that comes across as nearly unpredictable, and would distract the victim from what's ahead.

Day 15, Part 6

Using some of your power you turn to expanding your dungeon slightly by turning the short stairwell down from the Mausoleum into a lengthy hallway before placing a rockfall across it about halfway down. After that you turn to the hallway between the Batroom and Entrance Hall to add a spike pit about midway down it as well before ordering your minions to come down into the catacombs beneath the graveyard. You organize most of them in the Entrance Hall with a small group of bats staying behind with the Giant Bat Emperor.

Day 16

With that another day passes, and the sun begins to rise high above you for yet another peaceful day. So far your Domain has remained quiet though you're not sure how long that will last with a Human army massing nearby, perhaps war will come tomorrow ...

Dungeon Points: 75 DP (+15 from Dungeon Point Gen. III)

Dungeon Heart:
Incomplete Lich King's Vessel - Safe

Dungeon Powers:
Defy Death - When one of your minions fall you may use the power of the goblet to bring it back from death though currently this power can only be used once per day.
Surpass Death - With your Heart's growth in power it has begun to regain some of its former powers, and now the Lich King's vessel is capable of planting a seed of its glory in one of your minions. When the seed is granted to a minion if they would've died they are instead healed completely and continue to fight long after their death was supposed to occur.

First Seed of Power - After acquiring Surpass Death a small seed of dark energies has become able to form inside of the incomplete Lich King's Vessel. This Seed of Power contains endless possibilities.

Dungeon Skills:
Dungeon Point Generation III - Using your accumulated power you increase your connection to the world's mana flow increasing your daily Dungeon Point Generation by 15.
Undead Minions I - Some of the innate knowledge of Dungeons has been imparted onto you revealing the method to create undead minions of a new, and more powerful tier to you.
Trap Creation I - You have managed to learn some of a Dungeon's supposedly innate knowledge on the creation of fitting traps. While these traps might be basic they are more than enough to make your danger far more dangerous to invaders.
Undead Spellcasters - After your minions slayed a magic user you've come to understand how to create undead beings capable of using magic, and can now mold vessels who can generate their own pool of mana.
Batroom Bears ... is that a Bat? - The creation of the Batroom has gained you some insight into the creation of a rather curious being.
Item Analysis - One of the lower tiers of a Dungeon's Innate Powers this allows you identify items, and gain some information on their stats though items of superior craftsmanship will surpass your ability to identify.
Dungeon Creation - You have obtained the knowledge of how to further develop your domain, expanding it down into the depths of the earth, or up into the reaches of of the sky as you please. Floor by floor, and room by room you can give birth to a vast labyrinth.

Create another Floor - Using your accumulated power you add another floor to your Domain expanding it down to make it harder to reach your precious Heart.
Cost: 75 DP


Add a Room - With some work you expand one of your floors by adding a room, and connecting it to other chambers.
Cost: 15 DP [Small Room], 30 DP [Medium Room], 45 DP [Large Room]

Add a Hallway - You use your power to carve out a hallway between rooms instead of creating directly adjacent connections.
Cost: 5 DP [Small Hallway], 10 DP [Medium Hallway], 15 DP [Large Hallway]

Spoiler: Minions, Items, Traps, and More (click to show/hide)

Minions:
Skeleton - The weakest of minions available to you, they are the remnants of human corpses raised to protect you from those who would seek to steal away your Heart. Though they are weak they hold great potential for advancement.
Cost: 5 DP

Captain Bones - A skeleton whose purpose is to lead, and coordinate other skeletons in battle. They're about as competent in battle as any other skeleton, but their presence and the deathly aura they give off makes other nearby skeletons more efficient at killing their foes.
Cost: 15 DP

Zombie - Much more robust than skeletons your zombies, but somewhat slower and less agile these zombies are useful for taking a few hits while your stronger minions take care of any real threats. Can only equip armor.
Cost: 5 DP

Giant Bat - A small, and unassuming bat. Not the most powerful of creatures that might one day serve you, but given the chance they can prove just as lethal as any old bag of bones you bring forth from the ground.
Cost: 10 DP

Skeletal Mage - While most skeletons are incapable of wielding magical power this particular one has been carefully crafted by you to store magical energy in its very bones allowing it to wield the magic that commonly only mortals are capable of using.
Cost: 20 DP for Elemental; 25 DP for Illusion; 40 DP for Conjuration; 50 DP for Necromancy; 100 DP for Death Magic

Giant Bat Emperor - A being that is likely unique in this world born seemingly from your will, and that of some strange foreign entity. Unlike normal Giant Bats this one is nearly ten times as large and is much bigger than a human being. The Giant Bat Emperor is a fearsome beast with golden fur that feels almost like steel, and claws that rend metal and stone. Oddly enough there is a strange red symbol on its chest that looks like a somewhat simplified bat.
Cost: 75 DP; Can only create one.

Items:
Rusty Sword - Its an old, rusty sword. What did you expect? [Damage 2]
Cost: 5 DP

Bone Shortbow - A weapon carved from the bones of some animal with its bowstring made from its sinew. A powerful if somewhat unimpressive looking weapon. [Damage 2, Medium Range, Shortbow]
Cost: 10 DP

Rotting Buckler - This shield is about as old as the corpses you summon to guard yourself, while not the most reliable thing it is better than nothing. [Block: 10%]
Cost: 5 DP

Traps:
Pitfall Trap - A trap typically placed in hallways. This trap covers an area big enough to fit two people, and is fairly easy to detect for those trained to find traps. However, the trap is cheap and can be of significant use in cornering less prepared intruders.
Cost: 10 DP
Spike Pit - An advanced form of the Pitfall Trap meant to severely wound, or kill. This trap covers an area big enough to fit two people, and is somewhat easy to detect for the trained eye.
Cost: 20 DP
Rockfall Trap - The rockfall trap is a trap triggered by a tripwire. Those unsuspecting enough to break the tripwire trigger a mechanism that releases the net full of rocks that lays above their head.
Cost: 20 DP

Sure, you have. However, I do not go back through all the other turns searching for votes that people maybe want to perform this turn as well. If I did that I would never be able to update because I'd have to sift through all 53 pages of this game checking to make sure that a plan someone made twelve updates ago might be something they maybe want done?

Basically if you make a plan that you still want done after I do an update, and it wasn't the winning vote you're going to have to state that you want to try and push for it this turn as well. I'm truly sorry that I can't read your mind and tell you still wanted to try a plan from the last update.

As for your arrangement plans I assume when you said Mausoleum you meant the entrance hall.

[~Neri]

Defy Death a minion each day.

[Angle]

Set up some kind of raised platform for our archers and mages in the entrance hall, even if it's just coffins, and put a line of rockfall traps in front of the warriors. If we don't have enough DP, start from the middle and wok outwards.

[adwarf]

Defy Death a minion each day.

After being dead for a day your minions can't be brought back.

[~Neri]

Wait. Then why could we defy death the adventurers and whatnot after a day?

[Ozarck]

Wait. Then why could we defy death the adventurers and whatnot after a day?

when did we do that?

We can make a necromancer skeleton now, or maybe add a couple zombies and skeletons to the first hallway to slow people down at the rockfall trap. Or both.

[adwarf]

Wait. Then why could we defy death the adventurers and whatnot after a day?

You couldn't? I mean you've never raised an adventurer, and though do remember I've told you that you could raise one if you wanted after someone asked.
