Dignfight Strategies

In DignFight, doors can give you a big advantage. I prefer traps, but that's not the point.

It's really important that you understand how to calculate your bonuses with doors, otherwise, you may be severely disappointed. Most of this is covered in the official DignFight forums.

Let's use an imaginary dungeon that is 200 fields big. Let's also imagine that you have enough creatures to give you coverage of 100. 100 coverage in a 200-field dungeon equals 50% coverage.

Now, we tinker 1 Wooden Gate. The Wooden Gate gives us a +5% coverage bonus. This does NOT mean that you will have 55% coverage after tinkering 1 Wooden Gate.

The gate bonus is calculated like this: receive +5% bonus based on your current creature coverage. Our coverage is 100 fields. A 5% bonus is only +5 fields. 55 coverage in a 200-field dungeon equals 52.5% coverage (this will probably be rounded up to 53%).

Not impressed? Neither am I. But think about this. If you recruit 12 more Salamanders and eventually get coverage of 148 fields, your +5% bonus becomes 7.4 fields. Oooh, exciting, isn't it?! You paid the same price for the door, but now your Wooden Gate is giving you a bigger defense bonus.

Defense bonuses from multiple doors are added together. 1 Wooden Door gives you +5% bonus, 2 Wooden Doors gives you a +7% bonus. Tinkering many of the same door gets expensive and the bonus is not as good. Your best strategy for using multiple doors is to build one of each type of door. You will combine the best bonus of each door and end up with: wood, reinforced, steel, magic, and secret gate with a combined coverage bonus of +55%. Not bad for only 5 doors.

Just for practice, if your creatures cover 100 fields of your 200-field dungeon:

• What would your field coverage be after adding the 5 doors from the previous example?
• What would your coverage percentage be with these 5 doors?
