Dungeon Keeper: The Deeper Dungeons (1997)
Dungeon Keeper: The Deeper Dungeons is a 1997 real time strategy (rts) video game made by Bullfrog Productions and Electronic Arts.
Fifteen new maps, sharper enemy AI, and fifteen multiplayer levels: The Deeper Dungeons is pure extension of the original Dungeon Keeper formula with no hand-holding. Experienced Keepers will find the computer opponents more aggressive and the puzzle-maps more demanding. There is no new story, no new mechanics, only the satisfaction of digging deeper warrens, deploying more creative creature management, and holding off increasingly competent heroes across a wider set of terrain configurations. It is an expansion in the strict sense: more of the same, better-tuned.

A few thoughts on Dungeon Keeper: The Deeper Dungeons
If you want the villainous-overlord fantasy in a different form, Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia inverts the axis, casting you as a commander building armies across an overworld, but the obsessive base-building and turn-based campaign depth scratch a very similar itch.
More dungeon, more problems
Fifteen new levels and sharper enemy AI means The Deeper Dungeons is for players who chewed through the base game and wanted the difficulty knob turned up. These picks share that same appetite for hard, unforgiving strategic challenges.
