The level consits of one large island with the player on the east side and the [[Matak]] on the west side. There is a hill seperating the two sides of the island with an entrance on both sides, with a small lake in the centre. It is possible to reach the top of the hill from the Matak's side. There is also a small patch of land off to the side of the starting settlement with a [[Stone Head]] containing the [[Tornado]] spell, which has three uses. The [[Totem Pole]] in the small passage between the two tribes will activate a [[Landbridge]] so the player can access the Stone Head. The [[Vault of Knowledge]] is halfway in the Matak settlement and is slightly guarded. The Matak begin with their entire settlement complete, bar the Shaman's [[Guard Tower]]. You begin with one, although empty, Large Hut.

Begin by building a couple more huts and a [[Warrior Training Hut]] whilst your [[Shaman]] worships the Totem Pole. There is a Guard Tower with a [[Warrior]] inside so try not to stray too close, or reinforcements will be called from the nearby hut. The Totem Pole will open up a passage to the Stone Head. Haul two braves off construction and obtain the three Tornado spells. Build up your settlement and get around 10 Warriors. Once you have them, begin your attack. Destroy the Guard Tower with your forces and not with your Tornado spells. Most of the Matak forces will attack you but some will stay on the other end of the settlement to continue guarding the Shaman's Guard Tower. When the forces are gone, destroy the other hut then obtain the [[Swarm]] spell from the Vault of Knowledge. Destroy the two nearby huts with the Tornado spells and get used to the sight of buildings being ripped apart by a cyclone. Once you get the Swarm spell, head to the Shaman's Guard Tower. Make sure your forces don't get too close or the Shaman will cast Swarm on them.
