[edit] DK1 vs DK2

I would really like to help in adding things to this page. I'm quite fond of this game, and I'm also currently replaying it, so it is fresh in my mind. However, I've never played the original Dungeon Keeper, only this one, so I can't make any comparisons in the article between the two versions. I would be able to help in adding creature, room, and spell lists, but I'm not sure if I should add all the available creatures/rooms/spells, or if I should only add the ones which are new to DK2. Without knowing what was/wasn't in the first game, I would have to rely on the DK1 article or other websites in order to figure out what to add/not add if we are to go with the latter option. Thoughts? F^AE 01:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

When I writing in Russian wiki article about DK2, I too no played first DK :). So, take a look ;).

I've found two veeeery old cites: http://dk.despayre.org/ and http://www.geocities.com/dungkeep/dungkeep.html ( 8) wow, welcome back to disco '90). And, of course, http://www.keeperklan.tk and also http://dungeon-keeper.com/ --Winterheart 16:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

--- Hmm...I'll share my opinions of the games.

I have played both games, DK1 being a real classic for me. Really I have always prefered the first, although reading its article I found there were things I still didn't know. I actually much prefer the old 2D creatures compared to the 3D graphics in DK2, which were still a bit too poor quality to really look good. DK2 made many good changes and new stuff like mana, the heart mini tresury and cool rooms like the casino, but there is just something DK2 seems to lack compared to the original. Im unsure of whether this is something that could be in the article.

Also I can't stand the newer horned reaper or 'horny'. :( Sure the summoning thing is a good idea, but he just looks kinda weird, as opposed to the (very moody) rampageing monster I loved from the first game. Damn, I sound like some old die hard clinging to 'the good old days'; I'm only 18. :\

[edit] Keeper Klan

Keeper Klan (http://www.keeperklan.tk) is the only active Dungeon Keeper 2 clan around. It is the only (I repeat) clan. A clan being a group who plays the game online and discusses it et cetera. Please can someone stop editing the links section and erasing this indisputable fact! - Alex J.

The problem is more that it's a timing thing. We don't want to have to modify the page once someone decides to start a clan. It's not needed.

Actually you'll find this clan has been around for nearly 3 years. I put the link on Wikipedia ages ago. All I want to do is edit it slightly. To reiterate: it is the only DK2 clan and it is the largest and most prosperous DK community. Can't you grant me this one little thing? Or must Wikipedia and it's users create such a bad name for themselves?

Patrician41189: Someone is editing the link to Keeper Klan without Wikipedia's or Dungeon Keeper 2's benefit in mind. By repeatedly deleting the KK link and editing it to: "an active DK site etc..." they're abusing this free system. I have an idea who is doing this, and would like to ask someone with authority to stop them from doing it. Thanks for your time!

I'd like to thank the Wiki editors for not removing the KK link. (at time of posting) Thanks guys! :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.133.3.89 (talk) 20:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Windows XP SP2

I don't think this game runs with SP2. --BarkerJr 01:39, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

ALthough media is listed as 2 CD, i own a store bought copy of this game, and i assure you there is only one cd. As a result i have changed the lisitng

Yes, it's 1 CD only. -- ARC Gritt 12:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

When I got the game, it was 2 CD's, the other containing other languages

The English-only release had 1 CD, the multilingual release had 2 CDs. WindowsKiller 09:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I Have added http://dungeonkeeper.co.uk/ as it is a relative, active link, i have also renamed The Music Composer's Description to give more information about the link

Added due to anonymous deletion --The Itchy One 13:04, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheats

Just added a few other cheats from IGN, fixed typos and removed personal information and unnecesarry good wishes left by the creator. Anyway, I'd it is more like a preparation, for I'd be very grateful is someone moved it to a gaming wiki. It simply belongs there.
