Dig tunnels and grow your empire


Dig into the ground and find resources to build and grow your kingdom. The more your civilization grows, the further you have to spread your tunnels.

Seasons



Your dwarfs have to survive different seasons with different weather.

Level up your resident's civilization levels


Currently, Stonedeep has nine civilization levels. Every civilization level increases your daily tax income, but also increases the needs of the involved residents.
