''"Dungeons are built by Warlock and Overlord hero types to act as bases from which to wage campaigns of conquest for wealth and power. Similarly minded creatures are attracted as allies. Other Dungeon creatures are in thrall to their masters. Dungeon armies are possessed of a variety of long range attacks, have effective damage dealing troops, and have the ability to greatly disrupt the strategies of their enemies."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 88|RoE manual]]''</sup>

===Banned secondary skills===
 
Some skills are not available for certain hero classes, which means they can only acquire them from [[Scholar (Adventure Map)|Scholar]]s, [[Witch Hut]]s (except for [[Necromancy]] and [[Leadership]], if not allowed by a map-maker), [[Seer's Hut]]s, [[Event]]s or [[Pandora's Box]]es.

* Playing against [[Tower]] which has [[Giant and Titan|Titans]] who hate Black Dragons, try to use the following tactics so as to avoid Black Dragons' losses (see [[Dungeon#Cons|Cons]]). If Titans are behind someone else, attack that unit with Black Dragons, and breath attack will do 150% damage against Titans due to Black Dragons' hate against them. It works even if Black Dragons targeted another stack, and Titans won't retaliate.

* [[Manticore and Scorpicore|Manticores]] are one of the weakest level 6 units, have low HP, and even when upgraded to Scorpicores they are significantly weaker than [[Naga and Naga Queen|Naga Queens]] or [[Black Knight and Dread Knight|Dread Knights]]. Scorpicores are also quite too expensive for their strength, costing more than [[Unicorn and War Unicorn|War Unicorns]].

* Though Dungeon has many strong protagonists, it has many issues with heroes as well. Many heroes (Darkstorn, Deemer, Geon, Jaegar, Lorelei) have secondary skills which aren't that useful, and there is no one who specializes in Medusas, who are the only 4th level units without a specialist. Besides that, overlords cannot learn [[Water Magic]], therefore being unable to cast Bless on the entire army, while many Dungeon units have significant damage range (especially Harpies and Minotaurs).

* If the map has only one layer, Dungeon will get a disadvantage since subterranean terrain is used rarely without underground layer, and in most cases any other faction will get a speed bonus unlike Dungeon.

* Beware [[Giant and Titan|Titans]] who [[hate]] Black Dragons. Titans and Black Dragons have similar stats, possibly sharing 2nd-3rd place in the whole game after [[Archangel]]s, but Titans have an opportunity to shoot Black Dragons to death, and if Black Dragons force them to melee (which is possible as Black Dragons are faster), Titans will still do 150% damage by retaliation. Impossibility of Black Dragons' resurrection makes it a big problem.

* [[Prayer]] is banned, while this spell may help Red Dragons (but not Black) a lot since they're immune to Bless, Bloodlust, and Haste. (Rampart's [[Green Dragon and Gold Dragon|Green Dragons]] are susceptible to Prayer as well, and in Rampart this spell is available.)
