fun but towards the end it gets a little repative. maybe a upgrade section so you want to play more lvls? like more starting mana and recovering, etc.

i loved populous when i was younger...lion head studios made a game like this though....a lot better graphics..called "black and white.." this is still a great adaptation from the game...kudos

sometimes a unit naturally becomes greater than any hero i ever made. but you should never make heroes, they'll just get drowned.
you shouldn't even gather, because a gathering is too easily swamped.

Dubonjierugi: remember that the building score is not a counter - bigger buildings are worth more than smaller ones... this means you can get a feel for if you're really ahead or behind from it. I did start off with unlimited population but most player's PCs just can't cope with that!
axlkoegoskyeg: yep building fast is crucial, but in the higher levels it's also important to choose which direction you are going to expand first based on the map... you get less mana so it's easy to run out if you just try to flatten everything.

This game is good, but a bit too easy. Most of the time, all that you have to do is built. The hole day. Until you get enought mana to use Armaggedon. If this do not work, sabotage the enemie with Scorching Sun: that should prevent they of growing faster than you.

Love the game except I don't entirely like the population to building ratio, I just think that if I have like 493 buildings and 73 population that it's just a bit weird. Also more population would make for more awesome fights.

1) make the ground with your start point in the same height. 2) promote some1 to a leader in atleast 2 min. 3)if you like the game very much, just build WHOLE the time. 4) if u wanna kill the enemy fast, use thunder staff to destroy them, or you can just build the earth higher under the temples/huts. 5) + if these tips helped

@IRCrimson: you have switched on 'omniscience' mode, click the spell again to turn it off. You're currently watching the AI play and he doesn't get dizzy ;)

So, no way to turn off the dizzying constant cycle through combat so I can actually target and focus on things. Very poor UI design decision there. 1 star.

I just got a report that the achievement for level 15 (flat land) is not working. After looking at the code it might be necessary to lower and raise the point at the very top of the world for the goal to be recognised. I'm working on a proper fix, but this should get you the achievement for now! Sorry about that - it doesn't happen every time so I missed it in testing.

Awesome, I used to love Populous. This is a great remake. Keeps all the flavor of the orignal but modern graphics and just enough new features, 5 stars

lol i never discovered how to play populous and about all it features but i just played it for real '-' when you enter that batle mode is weird and cool kill kill kill i played populous just to see my people being soldiers :D after 2 days for discovering that power ¬¬'

i love this i have never played poulous but it sound like a good game i recommend 3 things more then two armys and u can make it a free for all or team battle and bigger maps and online multiplayer

Could benefit from separate commands for raise and lower (e.g. shift+click always equals lower). A lot of times it'll raise when it want it to lower, or lower when I want it to raise.
Clicking on "achievements" under "reset" resets the achievements even if you don't click "OK" afterward.

half the time I didn't know where my units were, and the other half, I wondered why the AI was soooo much stronger than I.this kind of games can't work well in such a small window.so I would rate it 2/5 but since I liked populus I'll give it 3/5 for the effort. The way kongregate works, I bet this will get badges a lot sooner than Feed the King.

won't work? I guess I'm the only one.. If I look at the comments.. tried on the developer site too.. doesn't work either.. It won't load.. after I clicked play, and the heroinsane.com ad came.. It doesn't work..

I love this game so much. I've never played populous, but this game seems to be like a less in depth version of Age of Empires. I used to play that game every day! It also somehow with the sound on gives me an odd flash of Roller Coaster Tycoon :/. Anyways 5/5 great game!

Love it Populous was a awesome game back in the time...
Still a minimap would really be helpfull with finding enemy settlements 5/5

all you have to do is create flat land, and then once your max mana is around 1400 and you have 200ish buildings, just save up for Armageddon, and drown their higher players while saving up. You'll win every time.

I have populus for my super nintendo system (Not hooked up tho)
