On the level where your shaman is imprisoned, you have little time to be tactically minded. The best way i see to end the level as quickly as possible, is: Build about six or seven boats (Pulling ALL braves from the huts), make a good portion of the force preists, then load up and STORM the island,(Ignore the fire bugs in the towers). In most cases the preists will handle the enemy equals and convert the rest, and the towers will be out of range once your attacking the prison cell. Thats about it fer me, GOOD LUCK!
