Face Off is a common Multiplayer level and is played a lot. The aim of the level is basically to stop your enemies from building or defending on the hill as it is everyone's bases weekness point. It also contains 4 small islands with Oblisks on. Two of them give you Spy Hut and the other two give you Boat Hut.
Common Game
Both teams head stright for the hill and try to knock the enemy Shaman's into the water using Blast. Finally two teams end up on the hill and start building defences. After a while they will Earthquake the enemy bases one after another.
Sometimes players who have trouble trying to attack the enemies will sidedoor to the island and then to the enemy base when the enemy is un-prepared.
When player is week another the attacker will send Warriors to finish them off.
Hints and Tips
Building the Base
Defending the Hill
When defending the hill, most players set up Firewarrior patrols all over, concentrating them on the places where the enemy Shaman is most likely to come up. It's also a good idea to have a bunch of Warriors Patrolling incase the enemy gets their Warriors up. Sometimes people build towers on the hill and fill them with Firewarriors.
Players will almost always defend the hill with their Shaman unless they go to make new land or defend a Sidedoor, using Lightning. If there your ally's Firewarriors on the hill, Blast the enemy Shaman up onto the hill and let the Firewarriors finish her off.
