The Danderzei Worlds is a [[mappack]] created by [UA]rossotorres. The problem about this pack is there are not enough trees on the most maps which makes them really hard to play.

==Maps==

=Cities=
This level is called a "camper map" by some players. A good strategy to win is casting earthquakes
on the enemy's wall until its destroyed.

The Trees spell is only available to [[Forge World]], it creates a group of three [[tree]]s.

==Tips==

[[Tree]]s should be placed in spots where you are not likely to build. (Remember that if trees are completely cut down and/or a hut is placed over it's ground, they will start to regrow nearby after a while.)

Wildmen (Spell)

2011-01-05T11:00:58Z

Rossotorres:

This spell is only available on [[Forge World]] in multiplayer.

== Tactics ==
In the last 5 or 6 seconds use all your [[wildmen|wildman]] spells inside the reincarnation site and your shaman will maybe convert them all and you will have about 20 - 25 [[wildmen]].

A more usefull tactic is using the hill spell in the middle of your [[Reincarnation Site]] and flatten at the top of the hill. Then you have to use the [[Valley]] spell two or three times right at the middle of the flattened area. Put your [[Wildmen]] in the hole and they cant get out. With this tactic you will have all 25 [[Wildmen]] but sometimes it fails too (the wall is not flattend by the shamans reincarnation spell).

Volcano

|Magic Word = Padatanka
}}

[[Image:Volcano_1.gif|left|thumb|frame|]] Volcano is a offensive spell against your enemies. You recieve Volcano from a [[Vault of Knowledge]] on level 21:[[Fractured Earth]]. The Volcano spell is sometimes in the Default [[Multiplayer]] Restrictions and is a nasty spell when casted on your base.

==Usage==

The range is pretty low, so sometimes its good to be in a [[Balloon]] or on high ground. Strike when ready, your [[Shaman]] will not be affected so you can stay where ever you are. A huge cone will come up destroying buildings that are close to it. Then release a whole lot of lava around the base.

==Tactics==

''''Cano Freezing'''

This only tends to work on high-activity multi-player maps, such as mid-game PP / mana noobet frenzy Fate maps. Once volcano has been casted, wait a couple of seconds and then cast landbridge three times, standing at the back of where the volc will rise. Once diagonally left, then straight across, then diagonally right. If you're lucky, the volcano will stop after rising from the ground - the lava frozen solid.

|Spell = Angel of Death

[[Image:aod.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]Angel of Death also known as 'AOD', will make a flying dragon appear out of nowhere that will eat enemy followers and the [[shaman]]. If the dragon tries to eat somebody inside a [[hut]], the [[hut]] will be destroyed as the follower is being snatched. Usually is stopped by using [[Ghost Army]].

*The Angel of Death can be destroyed by [[firestorm]] or another Angel of Death. It can also be destroyed by 4 direct [[lightning]] stikes or if a large number of [[firewarrior]]s attack it at once. If it doesn't get destroyed, it usually goes away in 3 - 5 minutes. It is possible for a good part of the tribe to be decimated with a good Angel of Death.

Earthquake

{{Infobox Spell
|Spell = Earthquake
|Image = earthquake.JPG
|Mana = 1,750
|Shots = 2
|Range = 8
|Duration = 5 seconds
|Magic Word = Lakaii
}}

[[Image:earthquake.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]This is probably the most widely-used destruction spell. Most people [[rush]] with it on levels like [[Face Off]]. Earthquake will create... well, earthquakes, in the ground that will sink [[hut]]s or break them. Lava is also created within the fault, thus killing any hapless tribesman who falls in.

An earthquake or an "eq" as its known in the gaming world for short is a spell which causes devastation and land changing effect. Only on land does this spell cause damage unlike its bigger brother the [[volcano]].

It can damage in a wide range and spills lava killing any who touch it. To avoid death by the eq's lava simply cast the [[blast]] spell until you land on safe ground. This can also be done by [[blast]]ing your men out of the lava.

In high land this spell is not as devestating where as Lava is concerned. Instead, if an EQ is cast on high land in a village. It can cause a huge dent in the land making it very hard to move around. This can cause more damage to [[huts|buildings]] if cast upon them.

Other damaging effects by the EQ is water openings. Sometimes usually on low land, when an EQ is cast water is created from the craters which are made in the spell. This can cause people to drown and even make [[huts|buildings]] submerge!

Swamp

|Mana = 1,000
|Shots = 3

|Duration = 10 deaths
|Magic Word = Othenga
}}

[[Image:swamp.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]The Swamp spell can be used to kill followers instantly when they fall into one. It is commonly used to block paths or stop [[Stone Head]]s from being worshipped. Swamps will kill ten [[follower]]s before disappearing. Swamps can be deleted by the player that placed it by holding Shift and Right clicking on it. Swamps will also be deleted if it falls under [[lava]] or [[water]] or when a [[shaman]] [[Reincarnation Site|reincarnates]] and a swamp has been placed on a [[Reincarnation Site]]. [[Ghost Army|Ghosts]] will not add to the kill count of the swamp, but will die themselves.

Hovering over a Swamp with the cursor will show how many people have been killed in it. Shift-Left clicking on a Swamp cast will remove it.

Tornado

Rossotorres:

{{Infobox Spell
|Spell = Tornado
|Image = tornado_2.jpg
|Mana = 900
|Shots = 3
|Range = 8
|Duration = 17 seconds
|Magic Word = Cheenak
}}

[[Image:tornado.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]The tornado spell generates a small twister that can destroy entire structures and send followers flying all around. When cast directly on a building, it will completely level the structure, but if the spell is cast when the Shaman is out of range of the building (using [[Autocast]]) the spell will do minimal damage and float away.

Tornado is a very commonly used spell as it is cheap and efficient for destroying huts in one shot. Players also use it to spread followers around, maybe in the water. [[Firewarrior]]s can still fire even if they are in the air, mostly getting another chance to kill the enemy [[shaman]].

In Shaman combat, one technique used is when the enemy [[shaman]] is in a tornado, to keep blasting the [[tornado]] in order drain the health of the enemy [[shaman]] before she can cast spells retaliate.

One unique attribute of the tornado spell is it does not destroy the building materials it consumes. While the tornado does damage to the land when it destroys a building, the wood used in construction of the building is spread out around the spell's path. This is true of when a tornado hits a tree or pile of wood as well.

Hypnotise

{{Infobox Spell
|Spell = Hypnotise
|Image = hypno.jpg
|Mana = 850
|Shots = 3
|Range = 8
|Duration = 40 seconds
|Magic Word = Noctana
}}

[[Image:hypno_2.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]
Hypnotise is an offensive spell which converts all enemy followers, that are in the area where the spell was casted, to your side for about 40 seconds. The spiral above the follower's head indicates that they are temporaliry on the tribe that they are currently on. Hypnotised followers can still be converted by enemy [[preacher]]s and hypnotised again to another tribe.

You first receive hypnotise permanently on Level 11: [[Treacherous Souls]] by worshipping the [[Vault of Knowledge]] that the [[Chumara]] tribe guards. Hypnotise is not commonly used in [[multiplayer]] games.

When training hypnotised followers to another follower type they will convert to your tribe permanently.

The [[Chumara]] tribe is popular for using the Hypnotise spell commonly throughout the game.

Also, if you defeat a tribe while having some of its followers hypnotised, they convert to your tribe permanently.

Swarm

|Mana = 400
|Shots = 4
|Range = 12
|Duration = 15 seconds
|Magic Word = Wunaga
}}

[[Image:swarm.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]If you cast this spell on [[followers]] of the enemy tribe (it won't affect you or your followers), those [[followers]] will spread apart and run away screaming. If you cast it ''next'' to a [[Guard Tower]] with a [[shaman]] in it, she will run out of the tower screaming.
You get this spell by worshipping the [[Vault of Knowledge]] in level 2:[[Night Falls]].

It is most useful to disrupting enemy attacks and stopping enemy [[preacher]]s from converting your men, as well as forcing a group of enemy followers to exit the boat or baloon they are currently manning.

Also, in multiplayer games, swarm will instantly kill ghosts (except [[shaman]] ghosts).

|Spell = Convert

|Mana = 100
|Shots = 4
|Range = 16
|Duration = 3 Secs
|Magic Word = Tsunama
}}

[[Image:convert_1.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]This spell can convert wildmen to [[brave]]s of your tribes color. You should mainly go for the groups of wildmen rather than just one or two wildmen. The [[convert]] spell, however, does not work on enemy tribesmen, no matter how hard you try. You need [[preacher]]s for that job.
You first encounter this spell by worshipping on a [[Stone Head]] in level 4:[[Combined Forces]] and it becomes permanent after worshipping the [[Vault of Knowledge]] near your base in level 6:[[Building Bridges]].

''Note: If you play against the AI, their convert range has a larger range and can convert wildmen that the convert doesn't touch.''

|Mana = 700

|Duration = 5 seconds
|Magic Word = Tuscatsi
}}

[[Image:landbridge.gif|left|thumb|frame|]]

The [[Landbridge]] spell, when cast on the far shore of a stretch of water separating two pieces of land, will join those pieces of land by raising the ocean floor. You can also use the spell to create a ramp up to the top of a cliff by standing at the bottom and casting the spell on the top; or you can join two hills together to make a handy defence platform. To Use: Find two pieces of land separated by a small stretch of water and move your [[Shaman]] to the edge of one shore. Left-click to select the [[Landbridge]] spell from the [[Spells]] Panel and move the mouse pointer so that it is on the edge of the opposite shore. Left-click to fire. It is possible to [[Sidedoor]] with this spell by join to an enemy's settlement land.
You can also use landbridge to save your shaman's life when she hits the water. If you cast the spell to a near by land just as your shaman hits the water, a strech of land will appear,saving your shaman from drowning

''Note: It does not work if you cast it in the middle of the ocean.''

=Mid Flatten=

It has been known that you can [[landbridge]] from a high mountain to a low part of the ground, and it coming up to all the same height. This can be done by [[landbridge|landbridging]] to the low part of the ground then killing or someone else killing your [[shaman]] quickly for it to rise all at the same height.

=Hill Making (Glitch)=
[[Image:LBG1.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
There are 5 steps to make very tall hills with [[Landbridge]] itself, starting with a flat bit of land. When you happen to find a point with both slopes on eirther side, you can cast one [[landbridge]] for it to go to the maximum height.

[[Image:LBG2.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]Step 1: Cast [[Landbridge]] just over the ocean, or anywhere that makes that part of land slightly higher than the rest.

Step 2: Cast [[Landbridge]] from halfway up the slope to the highest point of the land.

[[Image:LBG3.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
Step 3: Repeat the process until at desired height.

[[Image:LBG4.jpg|right|thumb|200px]]
Step 4: [[Landbridge]] to the highest point.

Step 5: Use a [[Landbridge]] or [[Flatten]] to make the top flat.
