Just an observation (read:  no real facts to back it up :-):  Perhaps
you
killed off all of his imps and he didn't have enough cash to create new
ones to mine more gold?

I finished a level last night in which this seemed to be the case.  My
minions were able to walk right up to the computer DK's dungeon heart
and
destroy it w/o encountering any opposition.  The computer's side was a
ghost town.  He had lairs, a hatchery, a training room, a library, a
treasure room, a portal, and two barely touched gold veins right next to
his lair- but not a single soul in sight.  The only reason I can think
of
is that I had killed off a great number of his imps early on and he may
have ran out of $ early on and wasn't able to create more imps to mine
more
gold.
