Not quite the same..

So, whenever I saw this available I immediately downloaded it because of the nostalgia, GoG didn't play correctly or would break sometimes and I lost access to both disks long ago. Immediately jumped into keeper vs keeper and taken back since the maps available was so much smaller than I originally remember. I remember all of the maps available but also remember a great number more maps available and in bigger size and better layouts.. "That's fine though" I thought, since the AI always worked well and was relatively difficult even with dark angels and working incredibly quickly, on just medium difficulty.

Built my rooms, got some black knights and a dark angel waiting to see when the other keepers find me or find each other and would duke it out, poking around with SoE. Realized that... The AI on the hardest difficulty (or any difficulty) doesn't register it's out of gold or things like that.. It'll build all the rooms but won't have the gold remaining and won't dig a gem seam or gold seam when its directly adjacent to them. So their creatures will get mad because they're not paid once they hit lvl 4 since they trained all their own gold away, and leave. The A.I still doesn't go further out, and I've watched as the A.I. will only build like 2 rooms, invade another keeper of the same difficulty, take one of their rooms, and since it registers as their room now, they don't build any other rooms so you might end up with 1 A.I. that retook their rooms with like 8 others and most are duplicates while the other A.I. just has a lair, hatchery, library, and workshop.

A.I also doesn't use Lightning ever, heal maybe rarely, doesn't use imp spell since im convinced they just spawn a bunch at the beginning, and even if you did for whatever reason give them say 300k gold from a gem seam you mined, they won't really register that, and it'll sit in their treasury..

TL;DR- It feels just like the original Dungeon Keeper 2 with the same skin, textures, etc. but just feels like they copied over the source code and a bit got corrupted so they took it out, didn't attempt to correct it, and instead it lobotomized the entire game to work correctly for AI.. Also it crashes occasionally.. Which never happened even on dial-up...

Steam version is 1.7, although I can't say which one specifically.
