6. Training
The art of training should be taken with great care, for many times, you run out of money, due to training. At first, you should not over-crowd the Training Room. First put in The warlocks, because a dagger wielding mage is close to useless. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember when training is to rotate the crowd. Make sure all your monsters get a chance to train during the level, or their careers in war will be a short lived one. A good point to stop training is around level 4 or 5. After that, switch off and let the other monsters have a go at it. Another important thing to remember, especially when you have your dungeon all set up, and have some time to kill, is to smack your monsters while they train, to speed them up. Just be sure you have enough gold for training, because without gold, your monsters decide snoozing is more fun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Prisoners
Capturing prisoners and having them change
sides and/or reveal info seems to be one of the more difficult tasks to
complete. The first step to making enemies change their sides is to build
a prison and a torture room. Then, go to the info panel on the far left
(the one with the Question Mark) and click on the imprison button. MAKE
SURE it is flashing. Then, get your guys to knock out the enemy
(a stunned enemy looks dead but has one
life above it's head) and your imps will carry them to the prison. If your
imps do not do this, just drag the imps to that spot and drop them on or
near the stunned enemies. After your prisoners are safely roaming around
your jail, pick up some chickens at your hatchery, and feed them. This
will give them life which is needed in the next step. Then you bring one
random prisoner to the torture room, and beat him or her senselessly until
they are down to their very last hit point. then release them back to the
jail for them to recuperate. Repeat this step as needed, and they will
eventually turn to your side, die and become a ghost/skeleton, or reveal
important information (map info) to you. Prisoner keeping can be very expensive
and time consuming sometimes, so it should only be performed if you have
extra time and money. Master this procedure, and you will find that you
have a lot more minions than enemies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Vandalizing
During the course of the game, you might
get messages saying "Your creatures are vandalizing your dungeon!" When
this happens, it means your own monsters are destroying your rooms. So
what this means is that your minions are bored, or a little upset. To fix
this annoying problem,
get your monsters to train in the training
room, put them in the prison, or torture them.. One of these will usually
cure your monsters of their insolence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Traps
Getting killed by enemy traps can by an
annoying event, and sometimes, even a very costly one. To get by traps, unfortunately, you are going to have to lose some creatures, but here is
the best way to get rid of them. After about 5 creatures have died due
to a certain trap, the trap usually run out of charges.
The best way to get rid of them, is to
take imps, or other creatures you don't care about, and drop them rite
next to it. This will kill the creature and eventually wear out the trap.
For Boulder Traps, my best advice is to posses a fast creature, and set
off the trap yourself, then run away. Boulders get destroyed in liquids,
so it might be a good idea to make a path
to a water or lava pit. Remember, boulders will kill in one hit, so I don't
recommend using a very good monster for this procedure. I've lost countless
guys to boulder traps, so it might also be a good idea to save the game
often, for you don't want to lose 10 powerful creatures to a
lousy trap.

11. Common Problems
Q: Any Level: Every time I try to load up
this certain level, the game crashes, how do I continue playing?
A: Try switching to DOS mode, and continuing
your game, then save it and go back to Win95 mode.
Q: Level 1: That guy keeps telling me to
build a lair or hatchery but it doesn't give me that option, what do I
do?
A: I know that idiot keeps yelling "You
must build a lair for your creatures." To solve this all you have to do
is wait and the lair will appear.
Q: Level 7: Help! I need to destroy the
enemy, but his dungeon is completely sealed in by reinforced walls, how
do I destroy him?
A: To get inside those two dungeons, you
have to either get to his rooms early, before the imps seal it off, or
keep walking imps around until you see a break.
Q: How do I change the graphics into High
Resolution mode?
A: Hold down <ALT> then hit R. Then
look at the pretty graphics :)
Q: I know some monsters have more spells
when I possess them, but I can't access them, what do I do?
A: If you are controlling a monster with
more than 6 powers, then push 7,8,9 or 10 to access them. That should do
the trick.
