Casino
Cost: 600/tile
Attracts: Rogue
Minimum functional size: 3x3
The casino exists for two purposes: to attract the rogue and give you an edge in your creatures' happiness. Your minions love to gamble, and they will flock to your casino in droves. Don't be surprised to hear constant warnings of, "Your casino is too small."
If you zoom in on the payout lever, you can adjust the house rules. The smiley face is more favorable to your creatures (they'll be happier, but may win more gold from your treasury), while the dollar sign favors the house (your casino won't serve its purpose as well). If you're not too strapped for gold, try to avoid being a cheapskate.
Temple

|
Cost: 3,000/tile
Attracts: Dark angel
Minimum functional size: 5x5
The temple is a dark and mysterious place and will attract the deadly (although indifferent to your cause) dark angel. The temple does serve a spiritual need in your dungeon. Drop your creatures around the rim of the temple, and they will bow down and worship the hand (talk to the hand!). This worshipping will increase your mana, which is a very good thing indeed. If you can manage it, build a second temple to attract more dark angels, since they are such a dastardly asset to have on your side.
In addition, you can sacrifice your creatures to the gods. Done in the correct pairs, you may be rewarded. Here are a few combinations to try out:
- Two black knights will give you a vampire.
- Two vampires will give you a bile demon.
- Two bile demons will give you a rogue.
- Two salamanders will give you a dark mistress.
- Two skeletons will give you a dark elf.
- Two dark elves will give you a troll.
- Two warlocks will give you a goblin.
Wooden Bridge
Cost: 200/tile
Attracts: N/A
Minimum functional size: 1x1
A wooden bridge is a great way to give your creatures quicker access across water and temporary access across lava (a wooden bridge will burn after a minute or so). If you want to use the bridge as a primary thoroughfare, be sure to build it more than one tile wide.
Stone Bridge
Cost: 500/tile
Attracts: N/A
Minimum functional size: 1x1
The stone bridge serves the same purpose as the wooden bridge, except you can use it to create permanent passageways over lava.
