Dead Sea is a four player [[multiplayer]] level containing a vast amount of high ground. There are several [[Stone Head]]s containing [[Angel of Death]] and [[Volcano]]. The level is commonly [[rush]]ed using early attacks with [[warrior]]s.

==Setting==


==Strategy==
When building [[hut]]s, make sure you spread them out over the land to avoid less [[hut]]s to be damaged by [[Earthquake]]s. It is best to quickly build a [[Warrior Training Hut]] and train several [[warrior]]s to fight off [[rush]] attacks near the beginning.

This is a common map played in [[multiplayer]] and is known for the lack of land there is on the map. 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 middle with a [[Stone Head]] that contains [[Volcano]]. The islands which you can connect to, to get to your enemy's islands have [[Stone Head]]s on them which contain either [[Erode]] or [[Firestorm]].

==Setting==
The level has a fairly small amount of land and consits of mainly islands containing players or [[Stone Head]]s. There are four circular islands with a large pool of water in the middle. Your [[shaman]]s will expand the land in the middle of the pool at the start of the level creating a skinny '''U''' shaped water strip. Each player has up to two small hills which can be used as advantages to defending your base. In the centre of the map is a large island in a shape of a [[volcano]] where a [[Stone Head]] lies granting you [[Volcano]] and setting off the [[volcano]] which lies next to it.

Each player island has a small area of land with [[Stone Head]]s on granting you [[Firestorm]] or [[Erode]], these are commonly used to connect to enemies or allies.

==Strategy==
A useful tactic for this level is to [[harvest|farm]], [[convert]] [[wildmen|wildies]], and build as much as you can. When you reach a certain amount of people (say 20) stop [[convert]]ing and charge [[landbridge]]. Some people [[convert]] less and some [[convert]] more. [[Landbridge]] over the water around your [[Reincarnation Site]], that should give you some more building space. After doing that you should focus on getting to the islands so you can attack your enemy. Some people use a ramp from the large hill on your island, 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 [[Stone Head]] granting you [[volcano]]. Get some [[firewarrior]]s for defence and some [[earthquake]]s charged then start to attack your enemy.

==Rushing==
It is possible to win very quickly if you make a [[Warrior Hut]] at the start, one [[lightning]], a few [[landbridge]]s and maybe an [[earthquake]]. If you connect to the hill and do not fill in your base, after that kill the enemy [[shaman]], while connect to them and send in your [[warrior]]s.

Two on Two is a four player map. The teams are normally top Versus Bottom, since there are two major islands, and on one is blue and red, and the other is yellow and green.

There are two long thin major islands side by side of the level, each of which have lots of [[wildmen|wildies]] and space for many [[hut]]s. In the middle are two small, high islands with [[Stone Head]]s on them. One [[Stone Head]] has unlimited amount of [[Angel of Death]]s and is between the Blue tribe and the Green tribe. The other island has a [[Stone Head]] which gives you four [[Teleport]]s and is between the Red tribe and the Yellow tribe.

==Strategy==

A general strategy is to [[Landbridge]] onto these islands as quick as possible. At the begining of the level, people usually charge [[Landbridge]] fast so they can be the first person on the island for a higher advantage. When you get onto the island, it is best to build a [[Guard Tower]]. Then put some [[firewarrior]]s on the island defending. When your ready, get 6 [[brave]]s to worship the [[Stone Head]]. It is hard to backdoor on this level, so if you get the hill it helps alot. If your ally gets the hill and you dont, or the other way round, you or they can get inside the tower and [[Lightning]] the enemy [[Shaman]] on the other island.

If you dont capture the hill, however, you can retake it by [[firestorm]]ing the island while your ally kills your other enemy [[Shaman]] on the other island.

[[Angel of Death]] and [[Teleport]] seem eqaully good spells, but [[Teleport]] may be a little better because you can suddenly appear in the enemies base and [[Volcano]] them (best to cast only when you have [[volcano]]). However, it is also damaging if you overwhelm your enemy with [[Angel of Death|Angels of Death]], meaning their [[Shaman]] gets killed and cant cast any more [[Ghost Army|ghost armies]].

Solo

This short level is the twenty-second level in [[Populous|Populous the Beginning]]. You start off with your [[shaman]] and no followers. You do not have [[convert]] or any [[hut]]s to build with. The only way of getting followers is by [[Hypnotise|hypnotising]] followers before their tribe dies off. This level can be quickly done and is not that hard for where it is in the game.

==Starting Speech==

''"I am alone... I shall need all my strength and cunning to survive on this world."''

==Setting==

You start off with a [[Shaman]] and no [[Reincarnation Site]] on a wide peninsula connected to the [[Dakini]] camp. There is an [[obelisk]] next to you which will grant you full shots for every spell.

Next to it is a tiny island with an [[obelisk]] on it which should be worshipped later. Not too far off is a slightly larger island with the [[Chumara]] tribe on it and an abandoned [[balloon]].

Further off is a mountainous island which is where the [[Matak]] settlement is. There is a small round peninsula which grants you some more mana in case you have run out of spell shots.

'''Enemy tribes:''' [[Dakini]], [[Chumara]], [[Matak]]

==Strategy==

First you worship the [[obelisk]] that is on your island, this will give you full chargements of your spells. You can easily kill the [[Dakini]] off and steel their [[boat]]. If you use [[Hypnotise]] try and use it towards the end of finishing them off so you get some followers to your side forever.

Next sail to the [[Chumara]] and hop into the [[balloon]] by the hill. Next use minor spells again to face off the tribe. ('''Watch out for the [[Firewarrior]]s'''). When you finish the tribe off goto the nearest [[obelisk]] and claim some [[mana]] to boost some of your spells.

Now fly your way towards the [[Matak]] and fight them off. After you have killed half of them you can have a [[mana]] boost by worshipping the [[obelisk]] that is on the [[Matak]]'s island. Now finish the rest of them off, keep killing their [[shaman]] to increase your [[mana]] further.
