Dungeon Keeper 2 Update 1.7
===========================

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT SAVEGAMES FROM EARLIER VERSIONS OF DK2 WILL WORK WITH THIS VERSION OF DUNGEON KEEPER 2. 

This version adds the Maiden and the Jack-In-The-Box Trap to Dungeon Keeper 2. The Maiden is an awesome creature that spits webs and slays enemies. The Maiden can be used in Skirmish and Multiplayer levels. The Jack-In-The-Box Trap literally scares the life out of Imps and also damages enemy Dungeon Hearts.

This version has a fix for users of Environment Mapped Bump Mapping 'EMBM' - please do not confuse this with other types of bump mapping that are not supported. Currently, the Matrox G400 is the only card we are aware of that fully supports 'EMBM'. Please ensure you are using the latest Matrox drivers (Point your browser to 'www.matrox.com') if you wish to try this feature.  Use the following commandlines '-enablebumpmapping' and '-enablebumpluminance' to activate bump mapping on your G400. Please note 'EMBM' Bump Mapping is an unsupported feature and, as such, cannot be discussed by our technical support staff. 

USERS OF OTHER CARDS PLEASE NOTE YOU MAY EXPERIENCE CRASHES IF YOU TRY TO RUN 'EMBM' BUMPMAPPING ON YOUR MACHINE. (For further information on commandlines please consult the ReadMe.txt)

Installing this update on top of an earlier version of Dungeon Keeper 2 will mean that the Uninstall function will not clear out all DK2 files. After using the Uninstall option, you can safely delete the remaining DK2 files manually. If you have installed to the default path these files will be located at "C:\Program Files\Bullfrog\Dungeon Keeper 2\"

Below are listed the changes in the earlier updates to Dungeon Keeper 2.


Dungeon Keeper 2 Update 1.51 to 1.61
====================================

THIS UPDATE WILL AFFECT YOUR SAVED GAMES. SAVED GAMES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS WILL START AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT LEVEL.

Elite creatures in Dungeon Keeper 2!

This version adds Elite creatures to Dungeon Keeper 2.  Elite creatures are tougher, faster, stronger versions of their ordinary creature counterparts, and add a deadly twist to any Multiplayer, Skirmish or My Pet Dungeon game. However, attracting them in will not be easy, and you will need to discover their particular preferences to draw them in.  As a clue, to attract the Elite Mistress, build a 3x3 Prison surrounded by a Torture Chamber.  Good luck attracting in the others!

Other Changes in Version 1.61

In this version we have added the much requested functionality to replay completed levels, as well as play levels that were not played when a choice was given in the Campaign game.  We have also tweaked a lot of features that were either in the release version (1.3) or in the later update (1.51), like the ability to continue playing after completing a level.


Dungeon Keeper 2 Update 1.51
============================

THIS UPDATE WILL AFFECT YOUR SAVED GAMES.

This update does not fix all of the hardware configuration problems that we've seen as addressing them is out of our control. We have found that memory resident programs, overclocking and bad or outdated drivers account for 90% of the problems we've seen.
