Through Little Miss Shaman you strive for a godlike status by bolstering your own tribe to become little fuzzy battle machines, then waging war against lots of other tribes that get in your way in order to conquer different areas.
The 3D engine is nowhere near as tasty as it was when the game was first released, but nevertheless the game is still smooth and fun to play, especially the spells, which range from the simple such as Create Bridge, to full, apocalypse-style raining fireballs and spontaneous volcanic eruptions. The general gaming premise hasn't weathered the years as well as the Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital games, simply because the RTS genre has since produced many similar titles, but it's still cheap and cheerful fun.
Your main opposition comes from yellow balloons. Warriors are useless against these high-altitude attacks, so place fire warriors in guard towers, then use the shaman to zap the balloon occupants with lightning. When they are empty, steal them and attack the other tribes. There are three stone heads on this world. Two are within easy reach of your followers. The first, and closest to your reincarnation site, has a single-shot volcano spell.
The enemy shaman frazzles any of your followers who I try to worship this stone, so proceed with extreme caution. The last, on a I separate island, contains a f firestorm spell.
You start this world with little land to build on and three tribes attacking. The yellow tribe, camped on an island away from the other tribes, launch ocean assaults. The red tribe, camped beyond the mountains, send spies and raiding parties. And the green tribe, on the plateau above, rain spells down upon you.
Force their shaman away from the cliffs to stop this. The red tribe guardaVoK containing the firestorm spell. Also, near their settlement is a stone head with a single-shot earthquake spell. The green tribe's VoK hides the flatten spell, and a stone head on the beach near their settlement contains the angel of death.
The yellow tribe guard a VoK containing the shield spell. You must assert yourself quickly in this world, or you won't last five minutes.
Attack the reds first - their incessant raids are a nuisance but, more importantly, they guard the firestorm spell, a most desirable weapon. Hold back the yellow tribe with preachers and fire warriors in guard towers. The green tribe can't reach you, so they pose little threat, but their sporadic lightning attacks can be annoying. Use the angel of death on this lot, which keeps them occupied while you concentrate on more pressing matters.
This third 'special' world sees our shaman bang to rights, spell-less and helpless. She must escape her prison before time runs out. Once your population is growing steadily, send three or four braves to build boats. Fill a boat with warriors and sail them to the three guard towers guarding the entrance to the enemy island.
Touch down near one of the side towers and send your warriors to attack. The enemy fire warrior inside blasts your men, but they can take it. Eventually, they dismantle the towers. Put your warriors back in the boat and repeat this tactic on the other two towers.
Once completed, sail them into the little bay just inside enemy territory and wait. Meanwhile, back home, train up a variety of aggressive followers and place them in boats. Ferry them to the aforementioned bay and land away from the main enemy stronghold. Pitch preacher against preacher, and warriors against guard towers. When the enemy is overwhelmed, select as many followers as possible and left-click on the prison to free the shaman. Now command her to pray at the obelisk for a volcano.
Cast the volcano into the valley to decimate the enemy. Bloodlust is a 'guest' spell, available only on this world and found within two stone heads. The first head is near the borders of your territory, the second is by the green settlement and is better because it contains infinite shots.
The head on the island in the middle of a lake contains an angel of death spell. Set up guards quickly to protect against the red and yellow tribes. Use high land to build more solid defences. Both yellow and green use balloons, so fire warriors should be used in abundance. Casting swamp in front of enemy settlements provides a cunning defence too. The armageddon spell is in the stone head in the centre of the island.
Unfortunately, three other tribes are vying for the same prize, and they've already built their settlements - tricky. But all is not lost. These tribes are intent on scrapping among themselves, and thus slow each other down. A cunning trick Is to cast swamp on the stone head to swallow any enemy followers who attempt to worship there. You can also use erode to estrange yourself from the enemy.
Finally, only cast armageddon when you are sure of victory. Train as many warriors as possible beforehand to give you the best chance in the arena. There are three stone heads on this world, each guarded by a different tribe. The nearest head is guarded by the red tribe and contains an armageddon spell.
The yellow and green tribes each guard a single volcano spell. Initially, the adjacent reds pose the biggest threat. The yellow and green tribes use boats to attack, and the green tribe even have the audacity to use landbridge to invade near your reincarnation site. They could do this at any time, so stay alert. Ultimately, armageddon is the way to victory. On this world, you are allied with the yellow tribe. The red tribe soon begin attacking your buddies and it's up to you to protect them.
If they are destroyed, you lose. Because of the lack of land, you must use landbridge to create more. Erect a guard tower by your reincarnation site, go inside, and cast landbridge to the yellow base. The shaman can then wander over to help. Swamp can be a useful defence, giving both of you a fighting chance. There is also a spot at the other end of your island where the red tribe can landbridge over, so make sure you have patrols set up to watch this area.
Two stone heads populate this world. The first is at the opposite end of your island and contains three teleport spells. This spell is limitless and teleports the shaman absolutely anywhere she wants to go. The second is at the end of the red village and contains a volcano spell which, when cast, sets off the dormant volcano, damaging the red tribe's settlement.
Yet again, use landbridge to exploit the islands and expand territory. The red tribe guards a VoK containing the angel of death spell. This can be reached quite easily by heading past some fire warriors in guard towers.
There is also a stone head on another island, which contains a landbridge spell. Set this off and another stone head appears elsewhere containing a flatten spell. Other stone heads in the chain grant you singleshot firestorm unfortunately, this also casts a firestorm around the head, killing nearby followers and volcano spells. At first, the red tribe attack by water. To avoid this, cast landbridge to their island, forcing them to attack you over land through a narrow corridor.
You can then guard this corridor with fire warriors and swamps. The site administration is not responsible for the content of the materials on the resource.
