'''Prisons''' is the eighth singleplayer level of the [[Undiscovered Worlds]] expansion pack. It is a unique level where both teams have their shaman imprisoned by the enemy. The Dakini tribe will make all efforts to free their shaman who, once free, will walk back to her settlement and kill the player's shaman, ending the game.

==Starting Speech==
"''Be careful shaman. In this world you will not be able to rely on your own divine power. Command your followers wisely and free yourself from the enemy camp, yet do not neglect defence to stop the Dakini from doing the same.''"

=Walkthrough=

==Defending==

To not lose this level you have to build up your defenses quickly. Slam down your training huts first and [[Preacher]]s!! [[Preacher]]s!! [[Preacher]]s!! [[Preacher]]s!! You must have lots of them so you can convert the enemy force. Get your [[Firewarrior]]s on high ground so that they fling any enemy [[Preacher]]s.

[[Image:Prisons_Defence.jpg|thumb|left|This is the sort of defence you need!]]

Make sure you are prepared for attacks around that area; they go for the back as well and up the hill.

[[Image:Prisons_Attack.jpg|thumb|right|PREPARED!]]

Next you need to defend the side with the hill. They only attack this more strongly further into the game. Bring a [[Spy]] to catch the enemy ones.

[[Image:Prisons_Hill.jpg|thumb|left|Early defended hill.]]

and of course the middle, this should not be too hard as the other two defences can lightly hold the area from advances. If enemy [[Firewarrior]]s are attacking your [[Brave]]s send a small army after them.

==Attacking==

Don't try to attack the Dakini through their main entrance; the enemy towers will hold your followers off long enough for other defenders to arrive. Instead, build a [[Boat House]] and send 2 or more boats full of Warriors and Preachers around the island to land on the Dakini's reincarnation site. From there you can attack the prison and free your shaman. Once the shaman is safely out of the Dakini settlement, you can attack it from outside with your shaman supporting your army.

==Other Notes==

Remember, if the [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] escapes then you have a very small amount of time to rescue your own [[Shaman]] before she gets a [[Lightning]] bolt through her.

The [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] can reincarnate but yours cannot!

This is the eleventh level in [[Undiscovered Worlds]]. The objective of the level is to kill all the [[shaman]]s with limited spells in a time limit. All the [[shaman]]s lack a [[Reincarnation Site]] in this level.

==Starting Speech==
"''Force of numbers is not the only way to victory, shaman. On this world you do not have enough time to destroy your enemy's settlements, instead you must use stealth and cunning to target your enemies' hearts: the shamans. Be very careful, however, for neither you nor your enemies' shamans will be reincarnated after death.''"

==Strategy==

First build a [[Balloon Hut]] and make at least one [[Balloon]] to transport your [[shaman]], while the [[Balloon Hut]] is constructing use your spare [[brave]]s to construct several [[hut]]s to increase your population and [[mana]]. You should keep [[blast]] and [[swarm]] charging from now on and any other spells you can afford. When your [[balloon] is ready move your [[shaman]] into it and fly to the edge of the [[Dakini]] base. You can use [[blast]] to knock the [[Dakini]] [[shaman]] into the water, make sure you don't get hit by her nearby [[firewarrior]]s. Do the same similar strategy to kill the other two [[shaman]]s, you may need to use [[swarm]] to make their [[shaman]]s run out of their [[Guard Tower]]s.

==Blue Tribe's strategy==

# First, convert the [[wildmen]] around you and start your village.
# Build a [[Balloon Hut]] and create one or more [[balloon]]s.
# Send some [[brave]]s to the [[Spy Training Hut]].
# Send your [[Shaman]] and one [[spy]] to a [[balloon]]. Mask the [[spy]] to yellow, and also cast the [[Invisibility]] spell on him to make him fully undetectable.
# Go across the [[Chumara]] island to the [[Chumara]] [[Shaman]]'s [[tower]].
# Let the spy jump down and match a fire to the [[Chumara]] [[Shaman]]'s [[tower]].
# Once the [[Chumara]] [[Shaman]] runs out, quickly cast the [[blast]] spell in front of her, to push her down the cliff and to the water to kill her.
# Now, mask your [[spy]] to green.
# Cast the [[invisibility]] spell again to the [[spy]].
# Avoid [[Matak]] [[firewarrior]]s to reach the [[Matak]] [[Shaman]] [[tower]].
# Do the same strategy you did with the [[Chumara]]: match her [[tower]], then [[blast]] her to the water.
# Once more, cast the [[invisibility]] spell to the [[spy]] and mask him to red.
# Avoid [[Dakini]] [[firewarrior]]s to reach the [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] [[tower]].
# Match the [[tower]], [[blast]] the queen out of the island, and you should win.

==Starting Speech==
"''On this world you will be sorely tested. Acolyte, no one can build the training huts you so rely on. Instead I shall award specialists to the tribe that proves its faith.''"

==Setting==
The player starts on a relatively large piece of land, connected to others by thin strips of land. At the beginning, most of the world is covered by [[fog of war]], excluding areas containing three [[Totem Pole]]s. Each totem pole gives a different unit when worshipped, either a [[Warrior]], [[Firewarrior]] or [[Preacher]].

==Strategy==
As said in the starting speech, you cannot build Training Huts. Instead you need to rely on the Totem Poles to provide you with stronger followers. Convert a large number of [[Wildmen]] early on, build a settlement and then take a fairly large group of followers (9+) to worship at a totem pole. Your shaman should also be located around the totem pole, as enemy tribes will constantly interrupt your followers' worship.

Only focus on one Totem Pole at a time - stretching your followers too thin may lead to your losing all of them. Your settlement can be defended with some of the reward units.

Once your defenses are well established you can go to attack other tribes. As your enemies also fight each other, this part will be fairly easy.

Note: Traveling enemies are particularly vulnerable to Blast due to the thin causeways.

'''Fortress''' is the tenth level in [[Undiscovered Worlds]] where you face the [[Dakini]] who control a large fortress. The [[Dakini]] will leave you in peace until you attack or are caught by them. A multiplayer version of this level exists called [[Fortresses]].

==Starting Speech==
"''The Dakini have long kept a mighty stronghold on this world. Currently they are unaware of your presence. Perhaps, it would be wise to keep it that way until you are ready to strike.''"

==Setting==
There is a very large island where you and the [[Dakini]] are on. Your tribe cannot be discovered unless the enemy sees one of your followers. There is a smooth hill North of your village. North of it is a small plain which divides you and the [[Dakini]]. The [[Dakini]] have a very powerful fortress. The walls are actually steep mountains. At the center of the front of their fort is a large opening from which they attack. Inside the walls is their city. A [[landbridge]] going up allows them to go on top of the wall. Behind the wall is a [[Stone Head]]. A small island in the middle of the sea bears another [[Stone Head]].

==Strategy==

===Defence===
To stop the [[Dakini]] from attacking your city, send your [[Shaman]] to the top of the [[Dakini]] mountain wall (Note: Mind the [[firewarrior]]s. Many are inside [[tower]]s). There's suppose to be a large opening where the [[Dakini]] armies start from before attacking. Close it by using the [[Landbridge]] or [[Flatten]] spell at the edge of the canyon opening. They won't be able to attack now.

''"The Dakini and the Chumara have long been allied on this world. Their power is great. The Matak, like you, survive outside this alliance. But their position is not strong. Once the Matak fall, the might of the alliance will surely fall on you."''

==Setting==

The player starts on a large hill, which is connected by a curved, gradual slope to a region of flat land containing the Matak settlement. This piece of land is surrounded on all sides by water.

The Dakini and Chumara also share an island. One end has a tall hill, while the other is fairly flat, jagged coastline. There is a short peninsula coming off this coast containing a [[Stone Head]].

'''Enemy tribes:''' [[Dakini]], [[Chumara]], [[Matak]]

==Strategy==

Build up your base as much as possible while the Matak still survive. It is important to line the cliffs near your settlement with Guard Towers, as the Chumara will rely on balloons to attack once the Matak are gone. After you've established a strong defense, scout the enemy's island with your Shaman. If you have sufficient mana, all you will need to defeat the enemy tribes are your shaman and land destruction spells (Earthquake, Erode, Flatten)

}}

[[Image:blast_1.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]'''Blast''' is probably one of the most widely-used spells in the game. The blast spell can usually kill a follower in one hit unless it is a [[warrior]] or [[Shaman]].
You get this spell by worshipping the [[Vault of Knowledge]] in the [[tutorial]], but even if you don't play the tutorial, it is available from the beginning in level 1: [[The Journey Begins]].

==Tips==

Blast is a very important spell. It can be used in a number of different ways, some ways are better than others at different times.

First, there is straight on target. If you click on the follower it will do a homing blast on it and bounce forward. You can use this to kill a follower in one go or a group of followers that aren't near water. Because a direct hit throws the enemy forward, it isn't a good idea to directly hit a [[Shaman]] walking to your village, as she will be thrown closer to it.

Then there is blasting next to the follower. This will blast it the opposite way of where you blast. This is good to knock a follower or a group of followers into the water. You should also use this to blast a [[Shaman]] off a cliff or into the water.

Last is blasting near it but not next to it. It is used on followers and maybe the [[Shaman]] from reaching you. If some [[Firewarrior]]s are going up a hill then blast from a near range and it will stop them from coming up. Keep doing it to kill them.

[[Image:Bloodlust_1.gif|left|thumb|frame|]] '''Bloodlust''' is a powerful [[guest spell]] that can be cast on up to six followers to give them supercharged powers for a limited time. It is first encountered on level 16:[[Bloodlust (Level)|Bloodlust]] in a [[stone head]].

== Effects on Followers ==

When bloodlust is cast on a follower, they will be supercharged in many ways. All followers will become much faster, much stronger, and much tougher. Firewarriors are also able to shoot fireballs at twice the rate. The speed increase means that followers with bloodlust can run fast enough to attack a preacher before he can lull them into a trance.

Normal attacks on followers will have little effect on the bloodlust followers. One warrior with bloodlust can easily take out 6 normal warriors, and a simple blast will barely cause a dent. A direct hit with lightning will kill these guys, as will knocking them into the water.

An interesting side effect of being extra strong is that an [[Angel of Death]] does not kill them when it attacks. The Angel will pick up the follower, but when it spits him him out again, the bloodlust follower will remain alive with some damage taken.

Obelisk

2010-10-07T02:10:42Z

Blargle:

'''Obelisks''' are magical objects that can only worshipped by a [[shaman]]. When worshipped, the two sections will spin 90° and give the worshiper the reward or effect. If the shaman worshiping stops or is killed while the sections are rotating, the obelisk will give the reward to the blue team.

Unlike [[Stone Head]]s, [[Gargoyle]]s or [[Totem Pole]]s, there is no typical obelisk reward - it can be anything from a change to the land to a high-level spell
