Populous: The Beginning Description
Populous: The Beginning is another installment in the cult strategy games series, sometimes referred to as the god simulator. The series was created way back during the times of popularity of 8-bit computers, such as Atari and Commodore. This installment is a breakthrough, because it introduces the struggle for immortality into the third dimension.
Our goal is to take over all 25 levels in the game, and taking charge over the world of Populous. Achieving this goal is possible thanks to the set of 26 divine powers and spells. They enable us to convert wild folk and make them worship your footprints, build villages in the name of your glory, and even fight for you. Moreover, they give you the power of shaping the land, placing volcanoes in the middle of the fiercest fights, and raining down firestorm upon the enemy.
