n) "CONVERSION" - Cherish

You begin with a sizable excavated area, gold, and six goblins. To the east lies the Abbey of St. Cuthbert and Monks, and further east, Malleus's Dungeon. Use 'Sight of Evil' to confirm Malleus's location.

The land between you and Malleus is filled with rooms and Hero Portals. Neutralize these portals and claim rooms strategically. Avoid a direct assault on Malleus's Dungeon early on, as your forces will be depleted.

Build Lairs for your Goblins and a Training Room. Train goblins and excavate gold. Claim the Portal and Hero Portal to the North quickly. If possible, build a Prison and Torture Chamber to capture and convert nearby Monks.

Construct a large 5x5 Hatchery and a Workshop for Trolls and Bile Demons. If not already built, establish a large Prison and Torture Chamber. Create a Graveyard for at least eight Vampires. Excavate Northeast along the bedrock from the Portal to find a Gem seam. Build a Library and Casino.

Capture and convert approximately 5-6 Monks. Add Giants and Guards to your forces. Allow other creatures to become skeletons or food for vampires. House converted heroes separately to prevent anger.

As you excavate east, you'll encounter heroes in dungeon rooms. Once you control the wooden bridges, SELL THEM. This funnels Malleus's Vampire Hordes into a single thin tunnel area. Place Iron Doors on either side of the bedrock column in the widened tunnel, then fill the area with spike, freeze, and Boulder Traps.

Build small Guard Posts and set Fear traps as you claim rooms. Lay Fear and Sentry traps to repel enemy Imps attempting to claim your land and remove bridges. Disable the two Hero Portals south of your Prison and Torture Chamber to reduce enemy incursions.

Malleus will likely send Vampires to take the cross-shaped area with the Monks. Defend your dungeon and let your traps slaughter the incoming Vampires and converted Monks. Continue to crush them as they return until his Undead army is destroyed.

Methodically excavate Eastward, using Fear and Sentry traps. Claim the treasury to find the fourth part of the Horny Talisman. Breach Malleus's Dungeon walls. Defeat the attacking Vampires with your large army. Target cannons around the Dungeon Heart with Skeletons and Mistresses, then destroy Malleus's Dungeon Heart.

Upon victory, Horny arrives to claim the gem. You will gain the ability to summon him when your Mana is sufficient.
