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.

Additional Information
- Alignment: Evil
- Native Terrain: Subterranean
Pros
- Strong units
- Two powerful ranged units, both of which have no melee penalty.
- Mana Vortex: Doubles your max spell points once a week.
- Can successfully do the famous "Dracageddon" tactic thanks to fast and powerful Black Dragons and Warlocks with high Spell Power.
- The Battle Scholar Academy instantly levels up your starting heroes and can contribute to your seasoned heroes as well.
- Two overpowered heroes: Jeddite (resurrection Speciality) and Gunnar (Logistics speciality)
- Portal of summoning (See comments below)
- Best creature ratio (see comments below)
Cons
- It is quite expensive to play as it needs many resources. This is especially noticeable on Impossible difficulty, because the Pillar of Eyes cost of one of each of the precious resources (Gems, Crystal, Sulfur and Mercury), which can be very hard to come up with early on.
- Manticore/Scorpicore is arguably the weakest Level 6 unit (or the Wyvern is).
