Level 2: Failed Return Home
This is your first timed level, and yet again the enemy have preachers where you can't. You are trapped in a prison and you have a few braves to rescue you.

Press space bar to skip the fly-by. Build up a town quickly, time is of the essence. Start with a guard tower, one hut, a training hut (warrior or firewarrior), then another normal hut, a training hut (warrior or firewarrior) and another normal hut if you can squeeze it in. Train troops as soon as you have a surplus population enough to do so. Make mostly firewarriors with a few normal warriors.

While you are still finishing up the last of your training, take what troops you have to attack the series of guard towers. Facing the enemy, attack the rightmost tower first using warriors. Then send your warriors to attack the leftmost guard tower (where there is a preacher) with your firewarriors to follow. You warriors may sit down, but the firewarriors should kill the preacher before they can be converted, and your warriors will kill the firewarriors there. Take your firewarriors to kill the remaining preacher. He is glitchy and can only be killed from the northwest.

Now we start the real assault. If you have not already done so, use all your trained warriors. Any brave you get while the attack goes on should be turned into firewarriors and joined with the main party. Ignore the boat, if it is still there.

Attack the north eastern guard tower, being sure to send in your warriors first. Send your warriors to the south-western guard towers and quickly command your firewarriors to kill the preacher. Move quickly down the mountain range. Use your warriors on enemy firewarriors and firewarrior on preachers. You can force your followers to stay on the mountain by commanding them next to the sharp spikes.

Loop around, avoiding the stone head and kill the mass of firewarriors to the left of your imprisoned Shaman using normal warriors. There may also be a mass of preachers. Kill them because they will prevent you from being able to reach the Shaman.


Send in your firewarriors to the only spot on the left mountain range that can reach the Shaman's prison (shown on screenshot above). They will blast away at the prison and soon, you will be free. Kill all the enemies with your troops and spells.
