Universal Dungeon Maker : Dark Lord (by GameCoaster)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm constantly pimping this game on the mobile gaming Facebook group App Army. https://www.facebook.com/groups/apparmy/

 

Thanks for posting these. I just discovered that you no longer lose prisoners when upgrading the prison, either, which is great. The new relics popping up has been a nice surpise, too - they've appeared half-way through a playthrough. It's always a disappointing moment when you get to the stage where they just offer you the health potion all the time.

 

I hope the new relic texts have been helpful for everyone! If there's any issues with any texts please let me know. I will suggest new ones to the dev.

 

is there a thread on achievements anywhere? After this run finishes I want to try to mop up the few remaining ones. I've got a couple of questions, like:

- the achievement for doing 100 days with only 2* monsters or below: how do you prevent the game from giving you the three DL-specific starting monsters, like the three Minotaur Girls (3*) Emma gets, which would make this achievement impossible? (these are granted by one of Emma's level-ups). I expected to see them in the list of things you could exclude, but I couldn't - maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

I have a plan for the above (and the "3* and below" and "4* and below" achievements) which is to, in my current run, get 6 lizardman (2*) equipped with Shield Bash and Regeneration Steel, and then start the game with three Healing Wind rooms carried over, which should make the lizardmen hard to beat (so they get lots of Regeneration from Healing Winds, which is converted to armor by Regeneration Steel, and with Shield Bash adding this to their attack).

Has anyone else got any better/other advice for these achievements?

- also - do these "Given at the start of the game, or Succeeded" monsters break the "Do 100 days without deploying additional monsters" achievement? In other words, can I do the "Do 100 days without deploying additional monsters" one using my succeeded lizardman plan, above?

thanks!

 

You play irea, thats it, or you wait until they change it

No idea, did that achievement a while ago, i just played a full trap build

 

Hmm, i haven't unlocked Irea.

 

Lizardmen are pretty much rip now after the nerf, since they were changed to get only flat 3 armor per attack. The challenge is only up to like trial 2 so you don't really need to use such an intricate strategy. It'll save you a lot of headache from fiddling around with skills and combining monsters if you just play it normally . Personally I just beat it with a full monster + battle room spam strategy with Tania (the ol' spam 4 mana ability) and filling all rooms with 3-star monsters. Not the most fun or creative strategy, but it worked well enough to day 500.

From my understand, the "without deploying additional monsters" challenge would mean actually placing new monsters in battle rooms, so it's probably better to do later in the run than at the start of the game. Apparently I completed this one (I forget doing it...), but how I would do this one is having a good dungeon set-up already and then just going 500 days without placing additional monsters in battle rooms. For example finishing your setup at like day 300 and going from 300-800 without placing additional monsters.

 

Thanks, good to know. I'd missed that change - it used to be 3 x level, or 3 x ATK, right?

With the "without deploying additional monsters"/2*/3*/4* challenges, in my current run (D101) I've got big red X's over them, which in my experience means "It's now impossible to do these on this run". Which, in turn, means that the rule must be "Survive **the first** 100 days", not just "Survive 100 days at some point", which I have done with some of the other achievements.

You're right though, by this point in my progression Trial 4 should be easy to just spam with low level monsters. I wonder, if I collect a high monster from an egg, but don't deploy it to a room, will that still count? Then I can combine its skills into my low-star ones, or maybe even convert them to orbs. I'll need to experiment I guess. thanks!

 

Yep, lizardmen's ability used to scale with level. Same with the slimes and their regen abilities, but now both minions are pretty much the worst in the game rip,

Ahh, I thought you were talking about the hard 4 trial which asks to just survive without deploying additional monsters.

From my experience I can tell you that for the 2*, 3*, and 4* monster challenges, you cannot have monsters above this star in your inventory (which is also why bringing succession will give you the red X). So yeah, can't take any monsters from eggs that are higher stars than 3* or have anything above that in your inventory or it'll give you the red X. Sirens if you have them unlocked are great to spam for this challenge. Imp girls and goblin girls have pretty good skill synergy with each other too.

 

I've been playing this for the last day or two. The rule is actually this:

You **can** have higher-star monsters in your inventory. However, as soon as you place them in a room, you've failed.

This feels overly harsh - I think the rule would be better if you fail at the point that you actually start a battle with them. Then it would allow for pressing the wrong thing, ie being able to place them, then realise, and take them out again. As it happens, if you do put one down by accident, you can kill the game and restart it, and you come back in during the previous battle, before you made your mistake.

It is easy to mess up, especially when you mean to take a monster out of a room, and manage to not quite click on it and place a different monster by mistake. I've gotten into the habit, at the end of each day, of checking the achievements list to make sure I haven't accidentally failed it.

Anyway, I've been collecting higher star monsters for their skills, and combining them into my 2-stars, or my DL, and that seems to be allowed.

I'm on my 2nd run now. I've been doing it on Trial 3, and only using 2* monsters, so that when I get to 100 (then 200, 300 etc) I'm actually completing 4 achievements at a time (hard10 with 5*, trial 1 with 4*, trial 2 with 3* and trial 3 with 2*). I died on 100 on my first run (it was close, I didn't get totally trampled, just a bit overwhelmed), but have carried my best 2*s through to another attempt, fingers crossed.
