Dungeon Keeper 2 (keep in mind i said 2, not 1, 1 sucked) had the best system I have ever seen, and was seriously hoping more RTS makers get games like this, ok, you build and run a base, collect resources and build units. Then, you have a ability which lets you go into First Person View of any unit you own, each unit has 10 level, and gains abilities with every level gained in combat, you can attack from First Person and cast spells, and even work as a ......worker and build walls and mark territory, a terrific feature that not only fit the game well but made it much more deep, you could take control of a wizard, create a party of your unit by pointing at them and pressing Space, and they are your attack group, which attack with you, shows you how combt is in First Person and lets use strategies as a player in combat that ai cant do (strafe, jump, use cover such as behind walls and bridges) and the cool thing is, if you die as your unit, you are simply returned to the strategy interface.
Which in turn allowed you to make a perfect assault force, my preferred was 2 dark elf archers, 4 skeletons (created by not feeding your prisoners and letting them starve...... or convert them by torturing them and healing them in the process until they had enough to be a turncoat) and me being the wizard or even better Dark Angel (no, not the show, hes a fallen angel with coollooking black wings). Also, a great thing was being able to mosey around your dungeon, watching people swallow whole chickens at once, going to your casino and watching everyone getting s***faced on your booze. Or going to the Lair and waking people up with your sword, goto your workshop and make doors and traps, or goto the library and study new spells for yourself. Or goto the combat pit (gladiator style) and battle other creatures for XP. A very good game, and the cool thing is, theres a game mode where it lets you freely create pretty much anything u want without any attacks attacks.
But theres a button that triggers of what level and if you want a small attack, or continuous, nonstop attacking by enemy units (in other words, you can siege your own dungeon to see how it stands). And in multiplayer its a lot of fun moving your creatures out of the way and dueling the other dungeon keeper with your favorite unit. Definitly a awesome game, with lots of humor thrown in, and the cool thing is, you can find it a EB for like 6-10 $ now. Its like a RTS, a bit of RPG (leveling and skills) and a bit of action and FPS all thrown in together. Plus good graphics (not great, but good enough). Its rated M because theres lots of things in there that dont really make it healthy for young minds, burning and drowning people, putting em in electric chairs and stretching racks, watching fighter over single pieces of food dropped in prison, or watching them starving and eating rats, and besides that, your evil
the campaign is done Risk style, you choose where you go and get a mission, eventually claiming all territory.
Besides that, theres mistresses (hookers) and the ability to summon satan to aid you in battle (he looks awesome, he has a huge sickle, and he walks and a path of fire follow him, and whever he goes the ground shakes and he can barely fit inside your dungeon). Also because you can sacrifice things to get gold and special units from gods (throwing 2 wizards into the praying pool, plus 1 dark knight gets you a guy thats awesome at melee plus a good spellcaster) besides the normal units, theres also the ones i just mentioned, mixing of units. The game is awesome, i recommend it
