Project Introduction

[Bibendus]

Quick Description
This map is freely inspired to Dungeon Keeper 2 but all the game will be transported to the starcraft universe. That means that all DK units, rooms and spells will be converted in SC2 units, giving them similar roles and abilities as they had in the original game.
For people who don't know, Dungeon Keeper was one of the most in depth strategy game created by Bullfrog in the old '90s.

Gamepaly
Dig underground tunnels, build rooms and attract creatures at your service, then use your army to annihilate your enemies. Each room has a different use and can attract a specific type of creature, so it's up to you to build the best dungeon possible. You can even build traps or research new spells.

Few Considerations
I'm working on this project since 2+ years, the game is still in beta but it finally reached a stable release state with good performances and almost all basic features complete. However I want to add a couple more things before goin out from the beta state.
I hope this map can become a good competitive game one day, specially considering it's really deep and complex, even if totally different from starcraft 2.
