Here's my running commentary for Level 17: Middle Ground. Some of it is strategic, some funny. Enjoy!

0:01 - Off we go! This is my first time trying this … and hopefully not my last.
0:12 - Converted a few lads - hurry up spells. I haven't got all day.
0:35 - Building huts - come on braves, build like you've never built before!
1:09 - Chumara are starting to pray.
2:06 - Converted a few more.
2:21 - Matak, Chumara and Dakini fight for the stone head. Idiots!
2:33 - Got five braves out of a convert. One swarm spell charged so far.
3:01 - Five firewarriors and two preachers made.
3:23 - Another convert. The others are still fighting.
3:42 - Seven braves in a convert. Not bad, eh? Two are going to be warriors, the other five are training to be firewarriors.
4:14 - Huts are nicely going up. All swarm spells are charged. Now onto lightning.
4:52 - More huts on the build.
5:06 - Matak and Dakini fight. Swamp is cast on the stone head.
5:51 - Charging convert again.
6:41 - Two Chumara braves and a firewarrior attack. Is that all you can do?
8:04 - Lightning charged. Now for Hypnotise.
8:38 - Chumara headed over but turned back when they saw one of our preachers taking a public shower.
9:08
- Dakini attack. Two lightning bolts kills the Shaman and her band of firewarriors.
9:45
- World map clear for now.
10:05
- Three braves begin building my guard tower.
10:36
- Tower is finished. Military check: 37 braves, 8 warriors, 21 firewarriors, 7 preachers and no spies - I hate spies!
11:21
- Matak attack me from unguarded entrance.
11:31
- They've certainly paid for it now. I love the battle music!
12:30
- Chumara attack.
12:40
- All gone. Three guard towers now on the build.
12:56
- Stray Dakini warriors attack.
13:12
- Taken down quickly by my men.
13:33
- Guard towers finished. Charging tornado at the moment.
14:45
- Nothing much at the moment. Shaman made herself a cup of tea in her state of the art guard tower. Watching Chumara attack Dakini - will they ever stop?
15:21
- Shaman wants to attack someone. I tell her to wait. She throws cup of tea at me.
15:53
- Earthquake now on charge.
16:10
- Getting rid of spy hut.
16:40
- Chumara attacking Matak.
16:58
- … and me!
17:34
- Most of the Chumara have been sent into the sky and into the lake. There's one damn preacher left with a magical shield.
18:29
- That preacher's outta here!
19:13
- Charging swamp. Silly Chumara brave gets blasted away.
19:34
- … but here comes the rest of the army. Ahh!
19:58
- They're all gone now.
20:02
- Now the Dakini want a go. Will they ever stop?
20:08
- Bye bye firewarrior.
20:12
- Bye bye brave.
20:24
- BYE BYE PREACHER!
20:32
- There's loads of fireworks coming from camp today!
21:48
- Erode is on the charge. Two huts are going up.
22:15
- My Shaman joined in with the fighting and blasted an enemy preacher who was already dead and managed to kill one of my warriors. Ah but I love her.
22:30
- 60 braves, 15 warriors, 38 firewarriors, 9 preachers and 0 spies - I hate spies!
23:12
- Dakini move. I cast swamp. They die. Job done.
23:46
- Matak casts swarm on my camp. Everyone goes crazy - even the Shaman! I didn't know she was affected. Couldn't kill Matak Shaman unfortunately.
24:38
- Mass bust up at the stone head.
25:16
- Sent a single brave to the head. He was killed quickly.
25:31
- Sent off four swarms in anger.
26:04
- its so funny to seem the enemy run all over the place. He he.
26:16
- Just got the Chumara Shaman scream in my ear three times.
27:33
- Charging firestorm. Crazy Matak sent tornado off at the nothing.
28:33
- Which tribe to finish first? Erm, Matak but by physical force. Am training a few braves now.
29:42
- Attacked by Chumara. Blasted most into the lake. I can here an annoying enemy preacher somewhere babbling words of nonsense.
31:09
- Shaman yawns so I slap her.
32:11
- Gathering half of my forces. Shaman burns my hair off.
32:36
- Attack from Dakini but my army clears it up before I notice.
33:14
- Matak army stupidly marches into my marshalling army.
33:57
- Rogue warrior in camp. Being destroyed now.
34:26
- Have 47 to attack the Matak. Off they go.
36:46
- That didn't go to plan.
39:49
- Sending off more.
40:28
- Chumara Shaman set place alight with firestorm while I'm busy with the Matak. I am so going to finish her off soon. She will get a volcano in the middle of her settlement when I'm finished. Army in Matak camp is doing well.
41:36
- Oh, maybe they're not.
42:05
- Dakini Shaman casts tornado on herself, kills me with a lightning bold, casts two swarms and then walks away. Where's the justice of that?
44:29
- Am really angry now. Marching to Dakini camp with full blast, swarm, hypnotise, lightning, tornado, swamp, firestorm, erode, earthquake and volcano.
46:29
- Did some damage.
47:42
- Taking army of 65 to Matak settlement.
48:07
- Sending 17 in first.
48:42
- Another 19 go in.
50:18
- Rest going in. Am going to rebuild army. This might take some time.
56:29
- Chumara attacking Dakini. Still rebuilding.
59:40
- Still rebuilding.
1:04:57
- Have another army of 39.
1:05:16
- Going in to Matak.
1:07:50
- Did good. Another lot going in.
1:11:32
- Matak are finally defeated. Yay!
1:12:23
- I think I will get rid of the Chumara now. Nine braves are building me a balloon hut at the minute.
1:14:00
- Off now to Chumara in balloon with sweetheart, Max Firewarrior. He's been worshipping me for ages so I sent him this message:

Dear Firewarrior,
You have won a wonderful cruise over the sea with the sexy Shaman. Please present yourself at the main guard tower and prepare yourself for a massive treat!
Sexily yours,
Shaman

1:16:12 - And the massive treat was being fired into the ocean by seven enemy firewarriors. Sorry Max! Now where's his friend Bob?
1:16:45
- I finally reincarnate after stopping off at McDonalds for a BigMac.
1:17:16
- Am going to finish Dakini.
1:22:10
- Dakini have now gone.
1:23:30
- Going in to Chumara. They are so going to die! Walk over with 116 army behind me.
1:24:53
- Cast volcano in Chumara army - all dead! Army goes in to finish job.
1:25:24
- Yay! Finished level. Killed 546 enemies and lost 225 of my followers. Not bad for a day's work, don't you think?
