Default Tiling floor, uneven

Having plyed the shower room floor I now find one section about 1 sq
metre is off the level by around 4mm. Too late to level under the ply.
Should I level this up with tile cement when tiling or level up before
tiling with product at hand:

Floor tile adhesive,
Mastercreet cement,
One coat plaster

Tile adhesive.

Cement is too brittle, plaster won't last five minutes with people walking
on it

If you are tiling the ply, you can put down a layer of the same adhesive
and use that to correct the slope. Let of harden overnight then tile as
normal.

Did the same here were 2 rooms had a 15mm step in the passageway between
them (narrow thankfully) - tile adhesive used to form a 2' long ramp
(that's invisible to all but a 6' level!)
