m) "SCAVENGER" - Goldenglade

Dig and excavate east from your starting position to release trapped skeletons who will join you. Continue excavating areas to the right until you have enough space to set up a training room.

As soon as you uncover and claim the graveyard, dwarf incursions will become frequent. Your skeletons will easily kill the low-level dwarves. Without a prison, your Imps will drag the bodies to the graveyard for resurrection.

Build a library near the graveyard for vampires to research and to store magical items.

Build Lairs near the library and training room. Slaughter enough dwarves to create your full complement of eight or more vampires.

Build a small casino to prevent vampires from getting bored.

Build a prison and Torture Chamber. Capture and torture enemy guards to convert them; you should be able to get around five from attacks on the Keep.

Build bridges to allow your Imps to excavate land to the east and west for gold and to increase mana per turn.

Once your Imps reach the walls of Malachi's keep, stop excavating and do not breach the walls.

After collecting all available gold, storm Brambles Keep. Your Imps may be lost to spike traps, but your Vampires can quickly deal with them and the cannons. Break down all doors and claim all rooms, then sell them off for cash.

Attack Malachi either from the front by bashing down the door or from the side by breaching the walls, which leads closer to his Dungeon Heart.

Send your skeletons in first to frighten weaker creatures. Use special spells like "Make Enemies Unhappy" and "Stun Imps" if available.

Drop all your Imps in with the skeletons, followed by your Vampires. If you have eight level 4 Vampires, you should have nothing to fear. If they die, quickly bring them back into the fray.

Begin claiming rooms and move towards the Dungeon Heart. Drop any converted guards in and cast "Call to Arms" by the enemy heart to keep their focus.

Your Vampires will terrify Malachi's forces, allowing your Guards and Skeletons to finish them off while your Imps continue claiming rooms. The Dungeon Heart will fall to your Vampires' blows.
