Lord of Darkness: /* Alternative Strategy (easier) */ I can't see how preachers are more effective in Armageddon than firewarriors. Perhaps it was just a typo.

	You need to ~~work~~ quickly as the [[Dakini]] ~~will get~~ and ~~use~~ [[~~Armageddon~~]]. ~~All three~~ [[~~tribe~~]]~~s will launch~~ [[~~boat~~]] ~~attacks against you~~. Do not go anywhere near the [[Dakini]] until you are ready to attack.		[[Convert]] some [[wildmen]] and build a [[Guard Tower]] some distance east of your [[Reincarnation Site]] so that you can quickly start building buildings around it. Use the space around your [[Reincarnation Site]] as well to get a few [[hut]]s constructed. You will need to get [[warrior]]s and [[preacher]]s quickly to counter any early enemy attacks and expand your base carefully since the wood supply is limited. It may be best to avoid using the peninsula across of the river that lies east of your base despite the high wood supply there because the [[Dakini]] regularly patrol it and sometimes choose to attack from that direction. Have your [[Shaman]] stay in a [[Guard Tower]] and build a few extra [[Guard Tower]]s around your base and staff them with [[preacher]]s and [[firewarrior]]s for defense. As time goes on keep training more units. You should get a [[Balloon Hut]] up at some point as well since your [[Shaman]] will prove even more useful riding around in a balloon. Do not go anywhere near the [[Dakini]] until you are ready to attack.

	[[Convert]] a few [[wildmen~~\|wildies~~]] and build a few [[hut]]s to gain some [[mana]], then charge [[~~landbridge~~]] as soon as you can. Meanwhile, build a [[temple]] and train 4 or 5 [[preacher]]s. As ~~quick~~ as you can, take a group of [[preacher]]s and [[brave]]s with your [[Shaman]] and [[landbridge]] across to the island ~~next to~~ your [[Reincarnation Site]]. It should be fairly easy to finish off the [[Matak]]. Build a [[Firewarrior Training Hut]] and a [[Balloon Hut]] on the [[Matak]] base and expand to charge your [[spell]]s. ~~It is then relatively easy~~ to ~~attack~~ the [[Chumara]] and [[Dakini]] ~~from~~ the ~~air with~~ your [[~~Shaman~~]] and [[~~balloon~~]]s ~~full of~~ [[~~firewarrior~~]]~~s protected by~~ [[~~Magical Shield~~]].		The enemy tribes will all regularly attack you by boat. However, they will also attack by land. The [[Matak]] and [[Chumara]] manage this by casting [[Landbridge]] west of your [[Reincarnation Site]] and south of your base respectively from their islands. The [[Matak]] and [[Chumara]] also head to attack the [[Dakini]] occasionally.

			After some time, the [[Dakini]] will begin worshipping the [[Armageddon]] [[Stone Head]]. Unlike the level [[Middle Ground]], they will not be interrupted by the other tribes, so it will be up to you to stop them from getting the spell. To prepare for their attempt to steal the spell, you should eliminate the [[Guard Tower]]s protecting them early on by sending your [[Shaman]] to cast [[Tornado]] on them from a balloon (make sure to eliminate any nearby [[firewarrior]]s first though). You then have two options. You can build a large base and train all your followers into [[warrior]]s and [[firewarrior]]s and delay the [[Dakini]] from getting the spell until you're ready or you can focus on stealing the spell for yourself and using it whenever you are ready. Stealing the spell can be challenging due to the strong [[Dakini]] protection. When the [[Dakini]] start worshipping, send invisible followers to begin praying and keep the [[Dakini]] troops from worshipping the [[Stone Head]] themselves using your spells. [[Swamp]] is useful here but it will not slow them down for long.

			[[Convert]] a few [[wildmen]] and build a few [[hut]]s to gain some [[mana]], then charge [[Landbridge]] as soon as you can. Meanwhile, build a [[temple]] and train 4-5 [[preacher]]s.

			As quickly as you can, take a group of [[preacher]]s and [[brave]]s with your [[Shaman]] and [[landbridge]] across to the island west of your [[Reincarnation Site]]. It should be fairly easy to finish off the [[Matak]] who are settled there. Build a [[Firewarrior Training Hut]] and a [[Balloon Hut]] on the [[Matak]] base and expand on their island to charge your [[spell]]s. While working on this, train a force of about 10 [[warrior]]s and [[preacher]]s or so while continuing to charge [[Landbridge]] until you have a second use of it and worship the [[Stone Head]] on your new island.

			[[Landbridge]] to the [[Chumara]] island to the southeast. You will need to be right at the edge of your island as close as possible to the [[Chumara]] island to accomplish this. Have your [[Landbridge]] spell selected and click on the closest possible spot where it allows you to cast the spell to pull this off. Carefully rush towards the [[Chumara]] base and cast [[Volcano]] in a decent spot. After the lava stops flowing send your small army to finish the job and pray at the [[Stone Head]] on the [[Chumara]] island.

			Continue developing your base and make sure to keep some trained units around for defense. The [[Dakini]] will not attack you very often while you're on the [[Matak]] island but they can attack, so be prepared for them. When your population is quite high, train everyone into [[warrior]]s and [[preacher]]s and let the [[Dakini]] steal the [[Armageddon]] spell.
