"I have had a terrible vision with scenes of death and destruction as our settlement sank into the sea! I must move swiftly if I am to save my tribe and wreak revenge upon our Enemies."
Setting
You start off on a small beach with several huts and followers. Next to you is a large hill with the Matak village on. Further on is a very small island with a Totem Pole, a Matak Guard Tower and a few warriors on it. Next to that is a island underwater that rises once the Totem Pole has been worshipped.
Enemy tribes: Matak
Worship Objects:
| Item | Shots | Spell/Effect | Follower Count |
| Totem Pole | Atlantis | 2 | |
| Totem Pole | Erode | 2 |
Strategy
First send your Shaman, two braves, one warrior and one preacher into the boat. Then quickly build as many boats as you can with your braves to carry the other followers. When your base has sunk head off to the Matak Guard Tower next to the Totem Pole. Kill the enemy followers and worship the Totem Pole.
Wait for the island to rise and then send your braves to fix the buildings. Build a couple more boats and train a group of preachers and warriors. Send them all in your boats, make sure you charge a few spells while you're waiting. Sail to the beach on the Matak island where there are two towers eirther side and unload your warriors. Send a couple of warriors each side then unload everyone else. Attack the base and send your shaman to worship the Totem Pole, after you worship it the other half of the Matak base will sink and then you can kill all the survivors.
Rushing
As soon as the game starts send every man into a hut and charge lightning by the time its charged you should have half ur base still. Then cast it on the green tower and you will have saved your base.
