One of the levels in The BEgining Mappack. You start on a small island, when you're shaman appears she creates a small peice of land connecting you to your island. Tree farming is popular on this level, since you have limited trees. There are islands which you can use to connect to your enemies islands, as well as a large island in the mkiddle with a stone head that contains volcano. The islands which you can connect to to get to your enemies have stone heads on them which contain either erode or firestorm


Strategy

Here is a strategy to craters. Farm trees and convert people, and build as much as you can. When you reach a certain amount of people (I use 20) stop converting and charge landbridge. Some people convert less, some more. Fill in the land around your reincarnation site, that should give you some more building space. Now focus on getting to the islands so you can get to the enemy. Some people use a ramp from a large hill, but if your enemy is on the other side there is a special tower location to get there in one landbridge. Until you learn it, just make more land until you reach. If you do not make a ramp, you can make more land behind that hill to connect to the mini island. After you've connected, you can connect to the larger island with the volcano stone head. Get some firewarriors for defence, some earthqaukes charged and go in and attack.

Rushing

It is possible to win very quickly if you make a warrior hut at the start, a lightning, a few landbridges and maybe an earthqauke. If you connect to the hill and do not fill in your base, then kill the enemy shaman, connect to them and send warriors in.
