This is the forth level in [[Populous|Populous The Beginning]] and the first level where the enemy attacks with an army and [[Shaman]]. Three parts of this level are shown in the [[Rolling Demo]]. Also, a modified version is present in the demo called Eye of the Storm which has two Vaults of Knowledge: one Lightning, one Tornado and a Stone Head with Firestorm.

it is also worth noting that this map could have been primarily designed as a 2v1 map, due to the fact that the name suggests this and that if the Player puts his/her mouse cursor near the middle of the hill to the left of their starting point, it may say "Chumara Reincarnation site" under said cursor (The Player cannot build on it either). The map would have probably had the Player allying up with the Chumara tribe as they do in [[Unlikely Allies]] but was most likely removed as it would make the level too hard for it being one of the easier ones. That and the player only encounters multiple tribes from [[Building Bridges]] onwards.

==Starting Speech==

''"We face a great threat. The Matak are massing against us. I need the power of Lightning to defeat them, but Preachers are guarding their Vault of Knowledge."''

==Setting==

This is the fourth level in [[Populous]], where the [[Matak]] tribe is faced for the second time in [[Single Player]]. The player starts on a large island shared with the [[Matak]] tribe. There is an attached circle of land which has a [[Vault of Knowledge]] on it and further away, a [[Stone Head]] giving the player some uses of the [[Convert]] spell.

Through the hills is a [[Vault of Knowledge]] guarded by several [[warrior]]s. Beyond it are two passages to the [[Matak]] settlement.

==Strategy==

Send the [[Shaman]] to the [[Vault of Knowledge]] to claim the [[Guard Tower]] building plan as well as a [[brave]] to worship the nearby [[Stone Head]]. Once the [[Guard Tower]] is available, build it in the middle of the land north of the [[Reincarnation Site]] followed by some [[hut]]s around it. The enemy [[Shaman]] will come with small groups of followers to strike the player's settlement with [[Lightning]].

The [[Warrior]]s guarding the [[Vault of Knowledge]] can be converted with [[Preacher]]s to make it easier to worship it with the [[Shaman]]. Once the spell is available, send an army to destroy the [[Matak]] settlement.

==Rushing==

It is possible to rush by gathering all starting [[follower]]s to [[rush]] the enemy. Try to stop them from building training huts for winning to be easier.
