PROS: You can design your own dungeon. You get to be the bad-guy. (And really, who doesn't love that?) The quirky monsters. That sarcastic narrator. Finding seams of Gems (Hello infinite Gold!) Turning your opponent's monsters into chickens.....then watching as your minions eat them. Having a Reaper named 'Horny'. CONS: There's no way to 'insta-build' like in DKII. You keep getting reminders of things that you already know (your Treasury is too small, you need a bigger Lair, etc), even while you're in the process of making the corrections. And really, that's all I can think of that I found annoying about this game. And, if you know what you're doing, you can even rewrite one of the text files to give yourself an edge (spells, rooms and traps cost nothing, Gold seams give you more money, training costs 0 Gold, etc), much like the cheat codes for DKII, so you can just sit back and enjoy the game to its fullest without worrying about running out of money. There's nothing quite like defeating your opponent by overwhelming him with an endless mob of Level 1 Imps. Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. It's perfect for both hard-core gamers (the RTS part of it) and casual gamers alike, so I'd recommend adding this game- and its sequel- to your game library. You won't regret it.
