This is the second level in [[Populous]], you face the [[Matak]] tribe for the first time in [[Single Player]]

==Starting Speech==

''"Now we must face the Matak Tribe. I sense many Warriors ready to stand against us. In my vision we are aided by magic from a Stone Head. There must be a way to reach it..."''

==Geography==

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.

==Strategy==

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.
Cast your own Swarm on the patrolling Warriors and [[Blast]] any that get too close. Then, use your final Tornado spell on the Shaman's Guard Tower. Hopefully , it'll go over the water and drown the Shaman. Hunt down the last few Matak followers and the level will be complete.

This is the first level featured in the single player campaign [[Populous]]: The Beginning and its demo version.

==Starting Speech==

''"I have created my Reincarnation Site and the settlement is nearly complete. Now we must destroy the Dakini tribe!"''

==Geography==
The world is one of the smallest worlds in existence and consists of three islands. The player gets the largest island, which is also the southern island. This island contains one [[Stone Head]], which has unlimited uses of [[Landbridge]], as well as two Small Huts. The middle island is the second largest of the three and has another Stone Head, this time containing four uses of Lightning. These can be used to quickly end the level if the player chooses too. Also, the [[Vault of Knowledge]] containing the [[Warrior Training Hut]] is guarded by a lone [[Brave]]. Finally, the northern island contains the small [[Dakini]] settlement of one Large Hut and a Warrior Training Hut.

==Strategy==

The player begins with six braves, but two are spawned soon after. Two more huts can be constructed to full up the space, whilst the [[Shaman]] (or even a brave) worships the Landbridge Stone Head. Two uses are needed, though others can be used to expand the settlement. Cast one spell to the central island and cast a [[Blast]] spell on the Dakini Brave. He should be killed upon hitting the ground. Whilst the Shaman worships the Vault of Knowledge, a Brave can worship the Stone Head which contains the powerful spell of [[Lightning]]. Once both the spells and the training hut have been obtained, a final Landbridge can be cast to the Dakini settlement. Take note that in doing so, the Stone Head on the starting island will sink into the ground.
From here, the player has a choice. They may wish to end the level in four, well placed Lightning spells, or they can build a Warrior Training Hut, train up 5 warriors and destroy the Dakini. Be warned the Dakini Shaman may blast your force into the water, so killing her with Lightning is advised.

==Quick Way==

This level can be completed in around a minute if you are quick enough. Begin by getting two Landbridge spells, then connect all three islands together. Get the four uses of Lightning then cast one on the clump of Braves outside the Large Hut. This will kill them all and the followers inside the hut will guard the Shaman. Cast Lightning on her and you should kill the followers guarding her. Cast Blast on the [[Warrior]] and you should end the level.

==Quick Way==

Get your [[Shaman]] and pray to the [[Landbridge]] Stone Head until you have 2 shots. Take your [[Shaman]] to the [[Lightning]] Stone Head until you have 4 shots. Send your [[Shaman]] to the [[Dakini]] island and [[Blast]] the [[Warrior]] then [[Lightning]] the enemy [[Shaman]], the [[Hut]] and the [[Warrior Training Hut]] and blast all the enemy followers.

Note: This level is basic and simple. The [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] does not have a [[Reincarnation Site]] and the [[Stone Head]] on your own island will sink into the ground once you are connected with the [[Dakini]] island.
