Populous: The Beginning |
Strategy and Wargaming Game from Electronic Arts, by Bullfrog Productions
This is the third main release in this successful series of god sims. As the name suggests, this is a prequel to the earlier games, taking you back to a time before gods were all-powerful. You play a shaman responsible for guiding the progress of the Tribe. This involves managing resources, extending their settlement and swelling their numbers, by encouraging new members to join. In addition, it also includes battle when they encounter opposing tribes. The game has an effective interface, well-designed world and great replayability value.
You begin with little mana and no spells. You accumulate mana and this can be used for building and spells, such as lightening bolts or swarms of insects, which can be directed at enemies. The PC game has a multi-player mode for up to 4 players (over LAN or Net). The game employs good, detailed 3D graphics.
