By the time you reach the [[Matak]]'s area you should have 25/30 [[brave]]s.
			# When you reach the [[Matak]]'s [[Guard Tower]] which will probably not be completed yet attack the few enemy [[brave]]s and the single [[hut]] they have probably managed to build by now with most (20 or so) [[brave]]s and send the other (5 to 10) to attack the enemy [[shaman]] - she wont yet have sufficient power to defend herself, hence its a one sided contest. Whilst your [[brave]]s are fighting wander around the [[Matak]]'s peninsular, [[convert]]ing a few [[wildmen]] and get them to immediately start building a [[tower]] close to the [[Matak]]'s [[Reincarnation Site]].
			# By this time the [[Matak]] tribe should be finished, so slam down a few plans for a [[Warrior Training Hut]], [[Temple]] and a [[Firewarrior Training Hut]], by your new [[Guard Tower]], and get your [[brave]]s to build them whilst you use a few more [[convert]] [[spell]]s to raise your [[follower]] count to about 50/55 [[brave]]s - there are lots of groups of [[wildmen]] in the [[Matak]]'s ex-peninsular (a good idea is to put down more building plans than you need as if your [[brave]]s are busy building they ar'nt tempted to wander back to your [[Reincarnation Site]] - keep them in the area).
			# When you have enough [[brave]]s (50/55) switch off the [[convert]] [[spell]] and start charging [[landbridge]]s, casting them on the coastline opposite to where the [[Chumara]] tribe are building a [[Boat Hut]] (you'll probably need to cast 4/5 of them 'parallel' to the shore to slowly edge towards the [[Chumara]]'s island before you get close enough to cast a final one to reach them).
			# Just before your ready to cast the final land bridge collect all your troops next to you, ready for the assault (you should have about 5 or each [[priest]]s/[[warrior]]s/[[firewarrior]]s and about 40 [[brave]]s).
			# Now for the coup de grace - send 5 [[brave]]s to destroy each [[Chumara]] [[hut]] and then send your [[firewarrior]]s to despatch the [[Chumara]] [[shaman]], use 2/3 [[warrior]]s to attack the [[Guard Tower]] in the centre and 2/3 to rip down the [[Chumara]] [[Temple]] (which should only just have been completed). Send a couple of [[priest]]s to the [[Chumara]] [[Firewarrior Training Hut]], and use the others to support your [[Warrior]]s.
			# As your [[brave]]s destroy the [[hut]]s send them to support any 'problems'. Your [[shaman]] can sit back and watch - she shouldnt need to intervene.

			The level can be completed in at least 7 minutes.

			A good way to start is to start building a few [[hut]]s and [[convert]] some [[wildmen]]. Build three [[tower]]s along the shore and then build another [[tower]] on the hill next to your [[Reincarnation Site]]. Build your training huts on the hill and train several [[firewarrior]]s.

			Place some [[patrol]]ing [[warrior]]s and [[preacher]]s to block paths from your base pointing to the [[Matak]] village. This should defend [[Matak]] attacks and your [[tower]]s should kill the [[Chumara]] [[Shaman]]. When the [[Chumara]] [[landbridge]] to the next island add some defence near that island so that you are prepared for them later.

			Whenever your ready, gather up an army to attack the [[Matak]]. '''DO NOT''' use defending [[follower]]s, keep them in place. Head over to the [[Matak]] settlement and destroy as much as you can. Your base defence should be able to handle attacks from the [[Chumara]] without your supervision. Kill the [[Matak]] tribe and collect the [[Swamp]] [[spell]] from their [[Vault of Knowledge]]. Now send some [[brave]]s to expand your base using the extra land you have gained.

			When you are happy to attack the [[Chumara]], gather up an army and send them to what was the [[Matak]] settlement. Use your [[shaman]] and [[backdoor]] the [[Chumara]] using [[landbridge]]. If your [[shaman]] dies during your attack, [[landbridge]] from your [[Reincarnation Site]] to the [[Chumara]] island as a quicker route and bring some reinforcements.
