The dungeon town is an evil alignment town type with overlord and warlock hero classes. The dungeon towns are built 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 ranged attacks, have effective damage dealing troops, and have the ability to greatly disrupt the strategies of their enemies.

Although dungeon is quite expensive, it has good magical capabilities (e.g. mana vortex) and powerful troops like black dragons, which are among the strongest creatures in Erathia. In fact, the black dragon has become a symbol of the Heroes series since it first appeared in Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars.
