Starting Speech
"In my vision I have again seen the Angel of Death. I shall find it and use it against my enemies."
Setting
Your Reincarnation Site is in a Vale with sea North and South, overlooked from the East by cliffs of the Matak plateau, and by rugged hills to the West which separate you from the Dakini base. Across the sea, the Chumara have their base on a large island within easy reach by boat from North or South.
Enemy tribes: Dakini, Chumara, Matak
Worship Objects:
| Item | Shots | Spell/Effect | Follower Count |
| Stone Head | 1 | Angel of Death | 5 |
| Stone Head | 1 | Landbridge, Earthquake | 6 |
| Vault of Knowledge | Firestorm | ||
| Vault of Knowledge | Magical Shield | ||
| Vault of Knowledge | Flatten |
Strategy
You need to be prepared for attacks by boat from the Chumara, whose Shaman brings Spies, Preachers, Warriors and Firewarriors often with Magical Shield; the Matak who flatten the land from above to break your huts 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 balloons.
This is a hard level to defend, and you have to be prepared for losses.
Quick Way
A quick way to make progress on this level is to charge landbridge from the start, building huts to give you some mana. Using landbridge you smooth the path up to the Matak plateau and quickly build a Temple on top.
Quicker Way
It is possible to rush the Dakini by gathering all your starting followers, and quickly head over to their tribe while converting as much wildmen as you can without stopping. Kill their shaman as quickly as possible with blasts to ensure she does not convert too many wildmen. There are quite a few wildmen on their base that you can convert while instructing your braves to fight the Dakini. You can also use your blasts to shoot at the Dakini Shaman. Once the Dakini is dead it will make the level a whole lot easier. Just make sure you build up quick as by this time the Chumara will start sending a few people by boat with Magical Shield. Still makes the level a whole lot easier without the Dakini.
