Starting Speech
"I sense a great struggle ahead. The Chumara, Dakini and Matak are massing their forces against us."
Setting
You start off on an area which is a medium height and has three paths coming out of the area. One leads to the Dakini village that is on a similar area to yours. The other path goes to the Matak tribe which is symmetrical to the Dakini's village and the middle path goes to a smaller area which has steps going to a Stone Head. The Chumara's base is symmetrical to yours too. Each base is connected to two other bases and the middle ground.
Enemy tribes: Dakini, Chumara, Matak
Worship Objects:
Item | Shots | Spell/Effect | Follower Count |
Stone Head | 1 | Armageddon | 6 |
Strategy
All tribes attack each other throughout the level eirther by the middle or via the side-paths. Each tribe tries to worship the Stone Head and fight the other tribes off using many troops and spells. Leave them to it and build towers down your paths to defend yourself. If you would like to cut off your side-paths use erode or flatten so that the tribes can then only attack via the middle path or by balloons.
If you wait long enough the Dakini eventually get Armageddon from the Stone Head and cast it. So try your best to stop every tribe from getting to the hill and worship it for yourself. Alternatively aggressively attack via the side-paths and destroy the enemies around you.
You can use the same tactics as you use on multiplayer Pressure Point, however the AI is not as intelligent as real players, so you should find it easier!
