First: the charm effect can be cancelled with a your terror-spell (but that costs some mana - not the best way in early games... and later youre strong enough so this is no longer needed, its more a "if anything fails"^^^
Second: make sure you have some towers "in front", they strip these amazon armors and this leads into the charm-spell.
For lvl 16: first place some towers in the bottom right part, where your gems are, then sprad some to the bottom line, and place some where the mana-fountain is. This should help you throug the early game, after that use your cut out to get rid these sacred stones, secure first the bottom left isle, then eighter the top left or the middle isle, dont forget to secure the water path north from your gems. Secure your mana fountain asap, then the mine.
AOE towers (ballista/inferno and their upgrades) are rly good in front to rip some of the amazons armor.
1: Take pool, build a crypt on top-right island, then work on filling out bottom. Take mine when you can.
2: Clear trees and build 3 more crypts on top-right, plus a fire temple. The bottom two crypts might seem pointless, but they're necessary to defend the water. Also, build one fire temple on the island in the water.
3: Work on clearing center. COMPLETELY FILL it with towers.
4: 2 crypts on bottom-left, then a few towers top right.
