Under the surface of the known lands lies a forgotten world, deep and silent, filled with mystery, magical wonders and dangers. There dwells the people of below, creatures of myths and legends, guarding the treasures of the underworld against those from above. The races from the surface have always coveted the rare ores and gems hidden in the ground, in dark caves under mighty mountains, and have more than once provoked the ire of the native inhabitants by their greed. Many wars have been fought for acquiring the wealth and hopes of the underworld. Many adventurers have died defiling the corridors of ancient dungeons.
Erdluitl is a real time strategy game, inspired by Dungeon Keeper and other old school RTS, combining RPG and Roguelike elements. Dig rooms and corridors, construct buildings and managing population. Keep your king alive and try to kill the enemy one. Employ various, brute force or more subtle approach, treason or espionage. Attract creatures into your dungeon, train a deadly host of warriors, forge weapons, research improvements and discover spells to throw in battle.
