	~~You~~ need to be prepared for attacks by boat from the [[Chumara]], whose [[Shaman]] brings [[Spy\|~~Spies~~]], [[~~Preacher~~]]s, [[~~Warrior~~]]s and [[~~Firewarrior~~]]s often with [[Magical Shield]]~~; the~~ [[Matak]] ~~who~~ [[flatten]] the land from above to ~~break~~ your ~~[[hut]]s~~ and ~~encroach upon~~ your land~~; and the~~ [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] ~~who~~ comes with a small raiding party through the rugged hills. Later the [[Dakini]] send a few [[balloon]]s.		Throughout this level, you need to be prepared for attacks by boat from the [[Chumara]], whose [[Shaman]] brings [[Spy\|spies]], [[preacher]]s, [[warrior]]s and [[firewarrior]]s often with [[Magical Shield]]. The [[Matak]] periodically [[flatten]] the land from above to destroy your buildings and steal your land. The [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] comes with a small raiding party through the rugged hills from time to time and often sends spies to damage your base. Later, the [[Dakini]] send a few [[balloon]]s.

			This is a hard level to defend on, and you have to be prepared for losses, especially since the [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] will try to get close enough to cast Firestorm on your buildings. If she's out of mana, she'll try [[Lightning]] on your [[Shaman]] instead.

			To start off on this level, get some [[hut]]s up quickly and [[convert]] as many [[wildmen]] as you can. Get a couple of [[warrior]]s and [[preacher]]s trained as quickly as possible: once the [[Chumara]] attack with [[Magical Shield]] protecting their followers you can't rely as much on [[firewarrior]]s or your [[Shaman]] as you can on your other followers. Despite this, remember to get [[firewarrior]]s later on as well since they will still prove quite useful.

			Since you have little land to build on, make sure that charging [[Landbridge]] is a priority throughout this level. You can use it to flatten the hilly land to the west or to steal some of the [[Matak]] land from their plateau (remember they do the same to you). [[Landbridge]] requires less mana than [[Flatten]] so if a land war starts you should be able to win it.

			When it comes to defense, you'll want a couple of [[Guard Tower]]s dotted around your base, especially on the north side and a few on the south side where you can expect [[Chumara]] attacks. Do not just focus on [[firewarrior]]s to house your [[Guard Tower]]s as they will prove ineffective against the shielded [[Chumara]] troops. Some [[preacher]]s work well too. You should even consider getting some [[spy\|spies]] in a [[Guard Tower]] or two to catch enemy [[spy\|spies]] before they do any damage. Make sure to have some trained followers patrolling your base as well as [[Guard Tower]]s can't do much more than offer support against enemy attack forces.

			When you get a chance, travel to every [[Vault of Knowledge]] to get all the spells they offer since they can prove quite useful.

			Once a proper defense is set up you can prepare your attack force. The [[Matak]] and [[Dakini]] can be attacked by land if you prefer this method using the usual army composed of [[warrior]]s, [[preacher]]s and [[firewarrior]]s with your [[Shaman]] to soften them up with her spells. An alternative method is to fill a couple of [[balloon]]s with [[firewarrior]]s and your [[Shaman]] and protect them using [[Magical Shield]] during attacks. This can be a devastating attack force. The [[Magical Shield]] spell is not always that necessary since oftentimes your enemies fail to build [[Firewarrior Training Hut]]s. However, this is not always the case.

			Once the [[Matak]] are eliminated make sure to pray at the [[Stone Head]] south of their base for the [[Angel of Death]] spell to use in later attacks. Follow the same strategies to destroy the [[Dakini]] and [[Chumara]] one by one and victory is yours.

	This is a hard level to defend, and you have to be prepared for losses, especially as the Dakini shaman will try to get close and cast Firestorm on your huts. If she's out of mana, she'll try to Lightning your shaman instead. If you use the below strategy to quickly take hold of the plateau, be advised: if you capture a balloon but leave it unmanned, the Dakini will frequently steal it back. Other than that, once you get a Balloon Hut and Firewarrior Training Hut up, you have practically won the level as none of the other tribes will use firewarriors.

	A quick way to ~~make progress on~~ this level is to charge [[~~landbridge~~]] from the start, building [[hut]]s to give you some [[mana]]. Using [[landbridge]] you smooth the path up to the [[Matak]] plateau and quickly build a [[Temple]] on top. Convert every Matak you can then ~~charge~~ Flatten and cut off the plateau from ~~the lower areas~~. The Chumara will stop attacking you but the Dakini will switch over to balloons. Next, worship the Stone Head ~~nearby~~ to get an Angel of Death~~; let it loose on~~ the ~~Dakini~~. ~~That leaves the passive Chumara as~~ your ~~only target~~.

Convert every Matak you can then steal [[Flatten]] from their [[Vault of Knowledge]] and cut off the plateau from access from your starting settlement. The [[Chumara]] will stop attacking you but the [[Dakini]] will switch over to balloons. Build five or so [[Guard Tower]]s with [[firewarrior]]s on the north east part of the plateau to counter all balloon invasions. Next, worship the [[Stone Head]] to the south to get an Angel of Death. Build a [[Balloon Hut]] and some [[balloon]]s so you can attack the other tribes with [[firewarrior]]s and your [[Shaman]] then finish them. Note: do not allow any of your balloons to be taken over by an enemy tribe since they will use them to attack you.
