1) Build flat. 2) Avoid attack until you reach population limit. 3) Once you get Wave totem build high as possible then spam it once you have a good mana recharge - the AI never builds high. 4) Swamp is VERY effective, and Whirlpool is great in the early levels.

One thing I've noticed is that once you get a building to one of the top 2 tiers it's nearly invincible, could it have a health bar to make them easier to capture?

Best strategy I've found so far for the late game is to terraform a huge space for your buildings to up mana generation. then, when it gets going well and you get in the 300's, build a max-height mountain somewhere near your buildings, but not disrupting them, and put a waypoint on top. after that, when you get to 450-ish, send everyone to the waypoint, and once a few are on there, use the rain totem (last one under wind, cost 500). your mountain should be left standing as well as some of the higher areas of ground. immediately set your people to start making houses, and flatten the top of the mountain so you still have a house left. if there are any survivors, either wait to make another storm if you've got good mana generation, or just terraform a bridge through the water to kill off the survivors. + so others can see

There are some tricks to terraforming. If you terraform up twice then down once on the same spot you get a clearing of four scares, costs 40, only up it costs you 90. Lowering three elevated dots in a row costs you 60, unless you lower where the terrain rise starts, only a hole remains, you'll need to fill it up again, total costs 30. Another trick, if the enemy is on a mountain, you can lower its slope, destroying their settlement. For level 19, only build castles, do it quickly with the reduced costs from the terraforming trick, then attack green. Red is situated badly and won't be a problem for a while. Keep on building, unless the enemy has little buildings on the front, then attack. Use lightning, it disperses big buildings and the enemy has to use multiple small ones, making small houses and occupying enemy combatants. Easy peasy. (Never use Armageddon, all units/buildings become hero’s. For me it ended with my last hero drawing with the last enemy hero, ending in a win...)

it was an incredible game. I really like the skirmish mode. also I would really love a second one. more powers and different land masses. you shouldalso add longergame modes. and listen tome rambolling on tata.

Game is realy epic, but i think can become better. For example, you can make negative weather conditions, like spontaneous drought or earthquake, which can not be call by totem. Maybe it bad idea, but how about land and sea monster? They can attack when notice people or settlimets and can throw fireballs or approach to melee combat. It would be funny if peoples build not only fortress, but farms, mines or other buildings, which be decorative and create the impression that they live like real people... Maybe be good if you add animals to game, like wolf or deer.

If you find this game hard, then try using this strategy. Firstly just flatten the land and make Castles, avoid contact with the opponent by expanding away from them and knocking down land if they try and bridge to you. Then there are several interesting ways to defeat them, as opposed to an army grind. You can use Swamps to kill their troop production, and make their buildings easy to take over. Generally Leaders are bad as anything can kill them. You can also use Water Storm Spam, as long as you have a building on higher elevation than the enemy (who usually builds 1 block above water). Another Tactic is Whirlpool Spam to destroy their entire base. It's very cost effective and is good at redirecting their attention from attacking to repairing their base. Hope that helps.

Could you make it so you could select which tribe you could be and have some other customizable attributes like develop speed and stuff like that.

A bit too easy,the enemies develop too slowly.Would be better if could change settings in skirmish mode,like the aggressive meter. But overall a good game,4 stars.
