To open/lockpick doors and disarm traps in possession use the "Open/Disarm" key - it's the zero key on the NumPad on default settings. However, it's disabled in versions 1.6 and up, as I recall. You can use it properly if you do a fresh v1.0 install without patching, tho.
There's a game called "Evil Genius" that tried to incorporate some of DK's elements, but that one doesn't really have possession. Hmm...
Perhaps you could try "Dungeons"? I guess it's similar to DK in atmosphere, but you play as levelable Dungeon Master or something instead of having a fixed Dungeon Heart.
Can't think of anything else atm, hope that helps.
I wish they would make dk 3.. I love the gameplay of this one but I just cant force myself to enjoy the game with such old graphics even tho the gameplay is pure gold :S
Google "lord of the overworld" and click the top hit. It's a bunch of guys that have decided to make a true sequel to DK2, keeping the same concept and everything. Check it out and give them support.
I wish you could gain levels in possession like in DK1. the second one you can hit the dummies but you dont get anything out of it.
Where in DK1 i wish you could eat chickens when you are hungry. I wish they made it so you could do everything the creature can do without leaving possession.
In DK1 you could just swing/shoot at a wall/air and still get xp, so it was a huge exploit. Seems Bullfrog decided to simply disable possesion xp in DK2 instead of reworking it.
Well, that's a matter of personal opinion. Some people prefer DK1, some DK2. DK2 is much more "civilized" with much less beastial minions, but I like the concepts of Combat Pits (for lv5-8) and mana, along with few other gameplay improvements.
It's not a bug, actually. The Bullfrog staff removed this feature in the later patches on purpose, supposedly to make the game more "balanced". They also "balanced" the Boulder Traps, now making them completely useless. -_- (Now they can't kill even 1 lv4 Rogue. :( )
Actually, I had an opportunity to get into "Dungeons" closed beta as an "old member of Keeper Klan". But I doubt I could even run that game on my out-dated laptop. >.> (Not to mention I had some issues with my laptop when they announed it at Keeper Klan forum :( )
There's an exploit you can use with possession in DK2. You can just keep moving backwards and meleeing enemies. Because your "auto-target" range is higher than the CPU's, you can kill hordes of enemies without getting hit once.
It's pretty cheap, and you can win pretty much the entire game using that exploit on a goblin,dark angle or black knight.
@Pmilooo Not anytime soon, although I'm sure we'll get it eventually. Peter Molyneux did say he'd love to go back to his old games, so fingers crossed.
Okay, it's like this: "Electronic Arts" bought "Bullfrog Productions" to eliminate the competition. Then they disbanded their team and cancelled all their games, so we never got new "Dungeon Keeper" nor "Syndicate" games. Then many years later EA, as the owner of all intelectual property that once belonged to Bullfrog, sold the rights to some Chinese company to make an MMO containing Dungeon Keeper characters. That's about it.
Yep.. there are people who are making a DK3 though! :) It's going to be called 'War for the Overworld', people are making it in their spare time and it's gonna be free. Google it to find out more.
Press "7" and select the units you want to follow you (look at them, then click when they are highlighted). After this, simply use keys 1 to 4 to select the attack type you want ("1" if you only have melee) and continue normally.
If you still play this game get Hamachi version 1.0.2.1 and join DungeonKeeper2#Active2010 Password is DK2 currently 3 people including me trying to get it fully active
That's a graphics card issue - you're using a graphics card incompatible with the game. Go to "Options" > "Graphics Options" and turn "Hardware Acceleration" off. Game should run smoothly after that.
@nijunikuro Actually my game runs perfectly smooth, however when I pop bigger battles, in other words I organise a massacre, my game just crashes without having any lag.

One question: If i possess an imp, using a pickaxe i can dig walls,claim paths, collect money etc. Can i convert dirty walls to reinforced walls using the pickaxe? thnx in advance
@Janitorov Incorrect! Possed Imps can dig walls and claim paths and also collect money. The only thing they cannot do is reinforce a wall when possesed! Dont answer questions without knowing.
Actually flyingspaghetti is somewhat right about it. I remember there was a unofficial patch/mod which enabled imps to reinforce walls, all you had to do was to stand near a wall and after 4 or 5 seconds it became reinforced.

Almost everything is done by using his pick-axe. If you "attack" when on unclaimed tile, you claim it. "Attack" while on enemy tile several times to turn it into unclaimed territory which you can claim. "Attack" a gold/gem seam and you'll dig some money from it.

I'll also use this chance to thank everyone for their feedback - and especially those who have subscribed and rated. Thank you for making this my most popular video on Youtube.
I had a BUNCH of trouble trying to get my original copy of DK2 to work with my Vista machine..... I went online to Ebay and BAM simply bought a version that instantly worked. I want to get a DK1 copy but the person who modifies it charges like 30£ ....
Possession is a really underatted move as far as I have read...But it DOES open up a WHOLE new set of stretegies...Especially to those creatures who have special posessions abilities like The Vampire.
OK Cool. TY. I do not think their is any servers left but I am gonna order 3 disks and get a lan game going! :P Made a map just for the occation as well. anyways... I have a question, What dose the thunder thing the dark angels do becuase it seems soo useless! Plus did i see right and you were able to disarm a door? ooo and 1 more question, (sorry :P) but. what dose the lil robber symbol mean with the theifs and rogues? Is it an ability or just representing their jobs or what?
Thunderstorm is the ability of both Dark Angels and Mistresses, it does area damage (very little damage, tho') and I think it slightly slows down the enemies. In "Dungeon Keeper 2" 1.0 you can disarm traps and open enemy doors, but in 1.7 you can only lock-pick Prison doors. Thieves and Rogues have the ability called "Disguise/Steal". I think you have to stand still after using disguise and you won't be noticed by enemies. If you're "disguised" in enemy Treasury you slowly steal enemy's money.
All official servers are long dead, but there are ways to play online. You can use a program called "Hamachi" to play online - there's a detailed description on how to set-up the game for multiplayer at a place called "Keeper Klan Forum". Do a google search and it should be the 1st hit (Youtube doesn't allow links in comments).
Thx for reply. there is software who make it possible via TCP/IP u play in a lan ( so u need to fix an appointment with a friend or be lucky and find a guy at the same time (which i wasnt))
There's a place called "Keeper Klan Forum". You can set up a match with people there and play online using "Hamachi". There's a whole guide there on how to configure "Hamachi" in order to play DK2 online, too.
When i press 5-6 on Bile Demon the hand never highlights and the eye symbol on the vampire dosen't highlight as well. 1 last question, Can possesed Imps only teleport to the Dungeon heart?
When you select the skill 5 of Bile Demon, it doesn't highlight, but it's selected. It highlights when you pick up an imp (and changes to a hand holding imp's head). Same goes for the vampire - select 6 to select hypnosis and if you hypnotize someone (left click after aiming at him), THEN it'll highlight. If you use it again, you release the enemy from hypnosis. Hypnosis also breaks if you leave possession.
Yes, possessed imps teleport only to Dungeon Heart, unlike random teleportation from DK1.
haha. I got it working and it was good. Although dose the imp thrower have any positives? Plus the Vampire turncoat victim didn't attack his own team. Your video's are good and run smoothly, What onscreen recording program did you use?
Ohh sorry 1 more thing, don't mean to spam but i can't see any Edit post. Can you level up in possession and make traps? (being a biledemon or whatever)
I'm not sure, but I think the Imp thrower damages only Dungeon Heart, or something like that. Victims hypnotised by Vampires do attack their own allies, but only the one Vampire that hypnotized them attacks. So, basically, attack an enemy with a Vampire & hypnotized enemy will charge and attack him as well.
I use Fraps 2.9.4 to record my videos.
There's no Edit button on Youtube, don't worry about it. It doesn't seem like you can gain experience while in possession. Either that or you gain...
...redicilously little experience. If you enter Workshop or Library, work-bench/book-stall do highlight, but I didn't see any progress on the traps/spell research being made, so I'd say you can't manufacture or research in possession.
I might try some stuff soon and I'll get back to you if I find out something new.
Great Video. I didn't even know monks could heal them selfs. Bile Demons toss imps, vampires can turncoat and Jailbreak. + the Sniper mode. I don't know how to do them however. Since you have been playing for a long time i dont suppose u could tell me any room position stratigies though. I allways lose on the lan games :(
Thanks. I haven't played multiplayer, unfortunatelly (had some problems when I tried), so I'm not sure my strategies would work well on real people (and they probably won't). Btw, any creature can jail-break from possession. Vampires can hypnotize (turncoat) and turn themselves into bats.
As to how to use the creature abilities in possession:
Yeah, same here. I played almost all the games Bullfrog ever made (and finished most of them at least once XD). "Dungeon Keeper 2" and "Syndicate" are my favorites.
"0" (zero) on numeric (part of) keyboard lock-picks the Prison doors (with default settings). In 1.0 you could also lock-pick enemy doors and disarm their traps, but in 1.7 you can only lock-pick Prison doors.
LOl you using my combat pit training strategy (put all warlocks and elfs to the pit than posses one and heal them so you can save your"keeper mana" and they doesnt hurt each other too much so you can keep them alive)
GJ but you have to use run sometimes (use shift :D)
Actually, it's not. "Dungeon Keeper" games are strategy games. "Overlord" is hack'n'slash, I'd say. The only thing that seperates it from any generic hack'n'slash game is that you have a team of imps that fight for you, which you can send charging at enemies you can't reach or to retrieve goods you can't reach yourself.
Okey, than it's not a game for me. I've played Dungeon Siege for a while (everything with Dungeon in it sounds good :P), but I prever the strategy style.
I wish they would make a third dungeon keeper, cuz it has so much potential and its so original. both 1 and 2 were amazing games for their time, and I've never played any other games in singleplayer as much as those.
only thing that dissappointed me about DK2 was the fact that DK1 had more different creatures, I think DK2 lacked on that. I missed the spiders, beetles etc
That's not entirely true. Bullfrog didn't "reject their copyright", it was bought by Electronic Arts, so EA holds the copyrights to the game. What's worse, EA just bought Bullfrog to eliminate the competition. They cancelled all their projects that were under development (Dungeon Keeper 3, Syndicate MMO, ...). I heard EA sold the rights to Dungeon Keeper series to some Chinese company (or was it Korean?) to make a Dungeon Keeper MMO.
It's the song that plays if one of your creatures gets a jackpot in the casino. From what I was able to dig up, song's name is "Disco Inferno" and it was originally sang by "The Trammps" in 1976. But the version in DK2 have a different singer (at least it sounds different to me) and I'm not sure who's singing that one.
Actually, it's 2-4 in Training Rooms, 5-8 in Combat Pits and 9 and 10 can only be obtained in battles with real enemies. It makes sense, actually. You can't become master swordsman if you only stab dummies that don't defend nor strike back.
While there are cool aspects of DK1, I still prefer DK2 because of the improvements of a lot of stuff I disliked in DK1. Like before-mentioned training. Traps are NOT invulnerable like in DK1. Imps gain levels by working. Imps respawn if you have less than 4.
You don't need to create Treasury to store gold. (et cetera) DK1's possession was really cool, tho'. I also liked that Lv10 dragon was actually larger than lower-level dragons. Reaper was a normal unit, not a lame spell. Overall - both games are cool and have their pluses, but they also their minuses compared to eachother.
Possession is a devastating weapon when handled by a pro Keeper.
Great vid!:)
Is there an extensive guide to possession somewhere on the net? Like, which creatures and on which level should be used for jailbreaking, and how to do it?
Thanks. There aren't any Possession Guides that I know of. Most people don't use possession.
And as for jailbreaking, you can use any creature at any experience level. You just have to get to a prison door and press "0" (zero) on numeric keyboard to unlock it (as I recall, that's by default). In version 1.0 you could also disarm traps and open enemy doors, but you can't do any of those in 1.7 anymore (it made the game too easy, I guess).
You turn into a bat. You can see the black smoke around him when he changes between humanoid and bat shape. To change shapes, press 5 while in possession. Note that you CAN'T use any attacks while you're a bat, so you have to press 5 again to change back to humanoid shape if you want to fight. Also, press 6 to select Hypnosis and you can convert 1 enemy to fight on your side while you're in possession. If you use Hypnosis the second time or exit possession, enemy unit becomes hostile again.
I learned alot of stuff here, though I've always wondered, how do you use the skills that are above your Rally button? (That allows you to make a group) Never found out how to Hypnotize creatures, and finally how do you pick up imps as a bile demon? :D
Yeah, the only drawback of version 1.7 is that you can't pick door locks (you can still pick the lock on prison) nor disarm traps anymore. But there are many other improvements to the game, so people don't care about no longer being able to disarm traps - most of 'em used to bash the traps apart before, anyway XD
also, the melee range of possessed creatures is longer. which means you can kill a whole army if you keep running away and hitting them which is really usefull
Damn youtube! It didn't post my reply when I tried earlier!
If you read the video's description, you would've known. You can even download the song from the video's description. Artist's name's "Coa Smor" and the song is called "W W W" (the damn thing won't allow me to post if I put 3 W's together D:).
You need to press "Insert" to activate/deactivate it. Both Dark Elf and Elven Archer have Sniper Mode in possession.
There's even a campaign level in which you have to "snipe out the dwarf on guard duty, so he won't call the reinforcements". Of course, you don't need to use the Sniper Mode to do that, but it helps.
Yeah, I really liked how possession looked in DK1, but it takes some time to get used to some creatures' visions (like Beetle, who sees front and sides at the same time). You couldn't destroy the incoming fireballs in DK1, though XD Nor use the training room or eat when possessed XD Sometimes it was hard to differenciate allies from enemies while in possession in DK2, while appropriate targets are highlighted in DK2.
Sorry about the late reply. I couldn't find the download link and the old sendspace link expired. I uploaded the song myself, but I can't post the link in my comment properly, so I'm giving up on that and I'll add it in Video's Info.
I have DK2 running on vista, just install it, go into properties and select "compatability mode" then "run this program in compatability mode for: Windows XP (service pack 2)" then disable visual themes.
Bit of a while since you posted that, but there is your answer.
I disagree. I've noticed many people prefer DK1 over DK2, but there were many things in DK1 I didn't like that were improved in DK2 - like Imps having to train in Training Room to gain experience instead of gaining it for working. Possession is much cooler in DK2, even though DK1 creatures had more spells/attacks. You can't get lv.10 creatures just by training them with dummies. Creatures don't just WALK to the torturing table as in DK1.
Thanks man =D I didn't know half of this stuff!! How did you disarm the traps and opened the doors though?

Awesome! :-D
Possession is a really underatted move as far as I have read...But it DOES open up a WHOLE new set of stretegies...Especially to those creatures who have special posessions abilities like The Vampire.

hi anyone knows how to play DK2 online? any servers left? I checked it and it seems no server exists...any one can help ? THX SO much
mehdijavedani 2 years ago
OK Cool. TY. I do not think their is any servers left but I am gonna order 3 disks and get a lan game going! :P Made a map just for the occation as well. anyways... I have a question, What dose the thunder thing the dark angels do becuase it seems soo useless! Plus did i see right and you were able to disarm a door? ooo and 1 more question, (sorry :P) but. what dose the lil robber symbol mean with the theifs and rogues? Is it an ability or just representing their jobs or what?
FacingWorlds 2 years ago
Thunderstorm is the ability of both Dark Angels and Mistresses, it does area damage (very little damage, tho') and I think it slightly slows down the enemies. In "Dungeon Keeper 2" 1.0 you can disarm traps and open enemy doors, but in 1.7 you can only lock-pick Prison doors. Thieves and Rogues have the ability called "Disguise/Steal". I think you have to stand still after using disguise and you won't be noticed by enemies. If you're "disguised" in enemy Treasury you slowly steal enemy's money.

All official servers are long dead, but there are ways to play online. You can use a program called "Hamachi" to play online - there's a detailed description on how to set-up the game for multiplayer at a place called "Keeper Klan Forum". Do a google search and it should be the 1st hit (Youtube doesn't allow links in comments).

Thx for reply. there is software who make it possible via TCP/IP u play in a lan ( so u need to fix an appointment with a friend or be lucky and find a guy at the same time (which i wasnt))
the name is "LogMeIn Hamachi" and it supports DK2
good luck... hope to see u there some time.

There's a place called "Keeper Klan Forum". You can set up a match with people there and play online using "Hamachi". There's a whole guide there on how to configure "Hamachi" in order to play DK2 online, too.

When i press 5-6 on Bile Demon the hand never highlights and the eye symbol on the vampire dosen't highlight as well. 1 last question, Can possesed Imps only teleport to the Dungeon heart?
FacingWorlds 2 years ago
When you select the skill 5 of Bile Demon, it doesn't highlight, but it's selected. It highlights when you pick up an imp (and changes to a hand holding imp's head). Same goes for the vampire - select 6 to select hypnosis and if you hypnotize someone (left click after aiming at him), THEN it'll highlight. If you use it again, you release the enemy from hypnosis. Hypnosis also breaks if you leave possession.
Yes, possessed imps teleport only to Dungeon Heart, unlike random teleportation from DK1.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
haha. I got it working and it was good. Although dose the imp thrower have any positives? Plus the Vampire turncoat victim didn't attack his own team. Your video's are good and run smoothly, What onscreen recording program did you use?
Thanks
FacingWorlds 2 years ago
Ohh sorry 1 more thing, don't mean to spam but i can't see any Edit post. Can you level up in possession and make traps? (being a biledemon or whatever)
FacingWorlds 2 years ago
I'm not sure, but I think the Imp thrower damages only Dungeon Heart, or something like that. Victims hypnotised by Vampires do attack their own allies, but only the one Vampire that hypnotized them attacks. So, basically, attack an enemy with a Vampire & hypnotized enemy will charge and attack him as well.
I use Fraps 2.9.4 to record my videos.
There's no Edit button on Youtube, don't worry about it. It doesn't seem like you can gain experience while in possession. Either that or you gain...
nijunikuro 2 years ago
...redicilously little experience. If you enter Workshop or Library, work-bench/book-stall do highlight, but I didn't see any progress on the traps/spell research being made, so I'd say you can't manufacture or research in possession.
I might try some stuff soon and I'll get back to you if I find out something new.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
Great Video. I didn't even know monks could heal them selfs. Bile Demons toss imps, vampires can turncoat and Jailbreak. + the Sniper mode. I don't know how to do them however. Since you have been playing for a long time i dont suppose u could tell me any room position stratigies though. I allways lose on the lan games :(
DNKY90 2 years ago
Thanks. I haven't played multiplayer, unfortunatelly (had some problems when I tried), so I'm not sure my strategies would work well on real people (and they probably won't). Btw, any creature can jail-break from possession. Vampires can hypnotize (turncoat) and turn themselves into bats.
As to how to use the creature abilities in possession:
1 - selects melee attack;
2 - 4 - selects ranged attacks/spells;
5,6 - creature's abilities;
7 - create group (choose allies to follow you);
nijunikuro 2 years ago
Insert - sniper mode (Dark Elves and Elves only);
Num 0 - lock-picking (Prison doors only in 1.7);
Left Shift - hold to run

how did you get vampires from prison, how did you open it ?
ziguran 2 years ago
"0" (zero) on numeric (part of) keyboard lock-picks the Prison doors (with default settings). In 1.0 you could also lock-pick enemy doors and disarm their traps, but in 1.7 you can only lock-pick Prison doors.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
LOl you using my combat pit training strategy (put all warlocks and elfs to the pit than posses one and heal them so you can save your"keeper mana" and they doesnt hurt each other too much so you can keep them alive)
GJ but you have to use run sometimes (use shift :D)

Isn't Overlord not a game like this? I've never played it but from the people I know who did i've heard it was Dungeon Keeper alike.
Leto85 2 years ago
Actually, it's not. "Dungeon Keeper" games are strategy games. "Overlord" is hack'n'slash, I'd say. The only thing that seperates it from any generic hack'n'slash game is that you have a team of imps that fight for you, which you can send charging at enemies you can't reach or to retrieve goods you can't reach yourself.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
Okey, than it's not a game for me. I've played Dungeon Siege for a while (everything with Dungeon in it sounds good :P), but I prever the strategy style.
Leto85 2 years ago
I wish they would make a third dungeon keeper, cuz it has so much potential and its so original. both 1 and 2 were amazing games for their time, and I've never played any other games in singleplayer as much as those.
only thing that dissappointed me about DK2 was the fact that DK1 had more different creatures, I think DK2 lacked on that. I missed the spiders, beetles etc

I agree with you.
And the ability on staying in a level off Dungeon Keeper 1 as you would like was very cool.

0bergut 2 years ago
That's not entirely true. Bullfrog didn't "reject their copyright", it was bought by Electronic Arts, so EA holds the copyrights to the game. What's worse, EA just bought Bullfrog to eliminate the competition. They cancelled all their projects that were under development (Dungeon Keeper 3, Syndicate MMO, ...). I heard EA sold the rights to Dungeon Keeper series to some Chinese company (or was it Korean?) to make a Dungeon Keeper MMO.

Whats' the ending song name? "Burn baby burn" xD
sujinyong 2 years ago
It's the song that plays if one of your creatures gets a jackpot in the casino. From what I was able to dig up, song's name is "Disco Inferno" and it was originally sang by "The Trammps" in 1976. But the version in DK2 have a different singer (at least it sounds different to me) and I'm not sure who's singing that one.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
Dungeon Keeper 2 is good, but not nearly as good as part one. The negative aspects:
1) When you defeat the lord of the land, the level is immediately ended (not in DK 1)
2) You can only train creatures to level 4, which fucking sucks.
Agentbromsnor 2 years ago
1. Not if you press 'ESC' when it shows you a choice.
2. Only in training rooms, they can reach lev 5-10 in combat. And that actually is a good idea..
crusader666 2 years ago 2
Actually, it's 2-4 in Training Rooms, 5-8 in Combat Pits and 9 and 10 can only be obtained in battles with real enemies. It makes sense, actually. You can't become master swordsman if you only stab dummies that don't defend nor strike back.
While there are cool aspects of DK1, I still prefer DK2 because of the improvements of a lot of stuff I disliked in DK1. Like before-mentioned training. Traps are NOT invulnerable like in DK1. Imps gain levels by working. Imps respawn if you have less than 4.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
You don't need to create Treasury to store gold. (et cetera) DK1's possession was really cool, tho'. I also liked that Lv10 dragon was actually larger than lower-level dragons. Reaper was a normal unit, not a lame spell. Overall - both games are cool and have their pluses, but they also their minuses compared to eachother.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
Possession is a devastating weapon when handled by a pro Keeper.
Great vid!:)
Is there an extensive guide to possession somewhere on the net? Like, which creatures and on which level should be used for jailbreaking, and how to do it?
crusader666 2 years ago
Thanks. There aren't any Possession Guides that I know of. Most people don't use possession.
And as for jailbreaking, you can use any creature at any experience level. You just have to get to a prison door and press "0" (zero) on numeric keyboard to unlock it (as I recall, that's by default). In version 1.0 you could also disarm traps and open enemy doors, but you can't do any of those in 1.7 anymore (it made the game too easy, I guess).

4:43 how can you fly with a vampire?
Uunamedd 2 years ago
You turn into a bat. You can see the black smoke around him when he changes between humanoid and bat shape. To change shapes, press 5 while in possession. Note that you CAN'T use any attacks while you're a bat, so you have to press 5 again to change back to humanoid shape if you want to fight. Also, press 6 to select Hypnosis and you can convert 1 enemy to fight on your side while you're in possession. If you use Hypnosis the second time or exit possession, enemy unit becomes hostile again.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
on 2:28 how can you zoom???
Uunamedd 2 years ago
It's called "Sniper Mode". Only Dark Elves and Elven Archers have it. When in possession, press "Insert" to activate it.
nijunikuro 2 years ago
I learned alot of stuff here, though I've always wondered, how do you use the skills that are above your Rally button? (That allows you to make a group) Never found out how to Hypnotize creatures, and finally how do you pick up imps as a bile demon? :D
RagingLunacy 3 years ago
Digits on alpha-numeric (NOT numeric) part of the keyboard are used for selecting different attacks and skills while in possession.
1 = Melee attack,
2,3,4 = Ranged attacks & spells,
5,6 = Abilities/Skills,
7 = adding allies to a group.
Bile demons pick up imps with their (5) ability.
nijunikuro 3 years ago
5 and 6, thanks a bunch ^^

Yeah, the only drawback of version 1.7 is that you can't pick door locks (you can still pick the lock on prison) nor disarm traps anymore. But there are many other improvements to the game, so people don't care about no longer being able to disarm traps - most of 'em used to bash the traps apart before, anyway XD

You need to press "Insert" to activate/deactivate it. Both Dark Elf and Elven Archer have Sniper Mode in possession.
There's even a campaign level in which you have to "snipe out the dwarf on guard duty, so he won't call the reinforcements". Of course, you don't need to use the Sniper Mode to do that, but it helps.

Yeah, I really liked how possession looked in DK1, but it takes some time to get used to some creatures' visions (like Beetle, who sees front and sides at the same time). You couldn't destroy the incoming fireballs in DK1, though XD Nor use the training room or eat when possessed XD Sometimes it was hard to differenciate allies from enemies while in possession in DK2, while appropriate targets are highlighted in DK2.

I disagree. I've noticed many people prefer DK1 over DK2, but there were many things in DK1 I didn't like that were improved in DK2 - like Imps having to train in Training Room to gain experience instead of gaining it for working. Possession is much cooler in DK2, even though DK1 creatures had more spells/attacks. You can't get lv.10 creatures just by training them with dummies. Creatures don't just WALK to the torturing table as in DK1.
