Dungeon Management

Congratulations! You've just inherited a brand-new dungeon that's barely more than a glorified cave system. Adventurers will show up at random intervals, drawn by rumors and the promise of treasure. The Adventurer's Guild carefully evaluates each dungeon and dispatches parties that match its threat level. Adventurer rankings go from weakest to strongest: F < E < D < C < B < A < S. Your dungeon feeds on the life force of fallen adventurers—think of it as the ultimate power source. Stronger adventurers provide exponentially more energy when they meet their demise. You can also convert your own magical energy into dungeon points if you're feeling generous. About Dungeon Growth: Your dungeon starts at a humble Level 1 with just 5 floors. Each time you level up, you unlock an additional floor to expand your domain. Leveling requires either slaying adventurers or investing your own mana. The first upgrade costs 100 points, then 150 for the next, followed by 225, and so on—each level gets progressively more expensive. Traps and Minions: Every good dungeon needs deadly surprises and loyal guardians, but they'll cost you. Traps scale in price based on complexity and lethality. Monsters follow the same rule—the nastier, the pricier. Some examples: - Basic pit trap: 5 points - Spear launcher mechanism: 10 points - Pressure-activated teleportation circle: 150 points - Lesser creature summoning: 10 points - Intermediate beast summoning: 100 points - Greater demon summoning: 1000 points - Legendary entity summoning: 2500 points Environmental Control: You can reshape your dungeon's atmosphere and climate using points. Fair warning: extreme conditions like raging blizzards or volcanic eruptions require constant energy to maintain. Structural Modifications: Rearranging your dungeon's layout and architecture costs nothing—consider it creative freedom.
