KeeperRL -- a rogue-like Dungeon Keeper clone

Bought this years ago during the early days of dev. Wasn't enough meat for me to really get into it at the time, might as well see if this ended up good or not.

I'm also concurrently replaying Dungeon Keeper so it seems right.

KeeperRL 1.1 "Black Mass" update is here!
The KeeperRL team wishes to entertain you this Halloween by releasing a new playable faction called the "Corrupted Church". Playing either as a Bishop or a Mother Superior, you will build a church for yourself and your congregation, hold Masses, pray, and craft devotional items. However, the KeeperRL world won't allow you to stay holy. Soon enough you will start to give in to temptations, such as luxury, alcohol, courtesans, and dark crafts. Before you know it, you will perform Black Masses in the name of the Evil God Adoxie, summon his minions, and do other, terrible deeds.

Here are the main gameplay features of the new faction:

• Build and finish a church in order to hold Masses for your minions.
• Write liturgical books to use during Mass to gain protection, faster digging or summoning help.
• Train your minions' divinity attribute at prayer benches in order to unlock new prayers and increase their combat ability.
• Tempt your minions with alcohol and courtesans in order for them to gain experience by confessing their sins.
• Research unholy ideas in order to perform a Black Mass and use the power of the Evil God Adoxie to summon up to nine new demons with unique abilities.

This update maintains save and mod compatibility, so you can finish your game or keep using your favorite mods without worry.

Any tips on how to forge Adamantium? I've seen some onsane goblin crafters who could do it but I'm not sure how to actually play around Insane. Do you just need to micro it a lot? I've tried looking to capture some Dwarf units but their skill wasn't the required 50.

Edit: Never mind. Managed to find some dwarves who had the appropriate skill level by digging further down.

I always thought that there is no more interesting ideas in generic medieval settings. Mea Culpa.

Best way, imo, is simply to kill lots of dudes with your craftsman. Then have him wear the first adamantium armour and kill even more dudes till he can craft adoxium armour. If your craftsman is also your keeper, so much the better.

Anyway, I had one little battle near my castle and the entire moat around my majestic edifice turned perma-red. While blood red waters might be a suitable aesthetic for evil keepers, I'm playing as a knight because no other keeper can match the nobility of my spirit.
