The Braced Door is a wooden door strengthened with steel supports, naturally being between the Wooden and Iron Door in terms of strength, cost, and manufacturing time.
Dungeon Keeper[]
The Braced Door is of average strength and lasts longer than the Wooden Door. First introduced in Snuggledell, Braced Doors are not too durable, but they'll do in a pinch. They have almost twice the health of a Wooden Door, but half the health of an Iron Door, making them considerably worse than Iron Doors. Once you have access to Iron Doors and Magic Doors, it's best to replace Braced Doors.
In KeeperFX, a Ghost has a special ability that allows it to pass through the door, even if it is locked.
Dungeon Keeper 2[]
Just like in Dungeon Keeper, Braced Doors are rated between Wooden and Steel Doors.
Tips[]
- There are few reasons to use Braced Doors when Steel and Magic are available, unless you are strapped for cash, or the area is of very little significance yet still needs a door.
- Can be surprisingly sturdy, though still modest.
- Aesthetics become its only quality once you technologically advance past it. "Dress your dungeon!"
- Aesthetically fits Treasures perfectly, resembling a giant safe door.
- Building a tight straight line of these in a corridor is a nice unique decoration aesthetic.
- Thematically fits a Portal's possibly separate room.
- (Might negatively impact the suspension of disbelief by how loud it is if you put it right next to a Lair.)
- Against a human player opponent, this might be used as a frontal defense Guard Room doorway fortification leading inside hiding a next, more sturdy, Steel Door as a surprise, making your foe think there is only a Braced Door, but that is only the outside.
Trivia[]
- Possibly the most iconic-looking Keeper door of the game, if not necessarily the most memorable, that being the Secret Door. The actual most iconic might be the Hero Steel Portcullis.
- The only thing in the game that puts an object inside a wall. It just works.
