Little suggestion: On "get new totens" levels, make a requirement to first exterminate the opponent then steal the totem. Otherwise you can just make a very little city and spam heros to the totem waypoint, like a 2 minutes match.

How to win: 1. Make all land the highest possible and flat. 2. Let your people build a powerful base. 3. When you have a good mana influx, water storm repeatedly, the enemy will never have time to rebuild, as their bases are usually near sea level.

Hard game. Island 4 is nearly impossible, both skirmish and campaign mode give you a small chance. This happens every time I play. I get a tiny, bumpy island and the enemy gets a big flatter island. Sort this out or I'll never play again.

Pretty easy and with more than one greater flaw, but fun nonetheless.
My biggest issue is the camera: moving around by key is tedious and using the mouse pauses the game. Why is the screen cut off and blurry at the edge?
The game is paused when dragging just so you don't miss and of the action as I felt it was unfair if the CPU players would trounce you are you were 'navigating' the islands :D

I have a tip to all of you...
Increase the level of your ground then Use Water Storm!
*Make sure that you can wipe out all the tribes in just 1 blow...

Good version of populous. Too much time is spent unlocking spells though. This coming from some one who liked 1 more than 2. Pop 1 seemed to have harder opponents than this. The entire time I played this I didn't lose a single match. Maybe skirmish will give me a challenge.
:D It's funny I like pop 2 more than 1. There were both great games. The desktop version has new 'challenge' modes which are being added too for more island fun!

nice game, loved populous. Later levels can be abused with tsunami spell (last wind spell), just build one level above other players and spam tsunami until win.
I don't know what but something is missing. maybe some sort of strategy. Doing same thing during 30 levels gets boring.

Took a while to get used to the graphics, but definitely worth it. Spamming terraform seems to be the way to go, I beat levels 1-20 using only terraform (and fire column, occasionally, just to satisfy my pyromania, but I didn't need it.) It does seem like the levels are getting harder, though. 5/5

Teraform can be a bit abusable, when a person builds a house if you level the terrain you'll easilly make that 1 little guy into a warrior. Basically.. as long as you spam terriform you don't need the other spells as often.
Also what exactly is the point to most of these spells earth has ? (Way point useful for level 1 never useful agian).

I am truly enjoying this game! I hate the fact that I need to go to sleep, before I crash my face into the keyboard. Well done! 5/5

I came back. Hurray for that dragging can be used to raise/lower terrain. A real time saver.............
I don't know if this was in there originally, but there is a limit as to how many cities you can have. Kind of a downer as I would love to populate the entire sector. And if you fill your limit cap at home it is basically impossible to conquer the enemy since you cannot build a city to prevent them from rebuilding their cities. But it is only sorta bothersome.........
And I really like the Skirmish mode. I think I have beaten around 11 session. So much greatness.

its an incredible game but i have to agree with globbo that its to easy and i would like to add that it gets kinda routine
terraform
expand
attack
or terraform
expand
waypoint
but still 5/5

The saves have reset twice on me. The first time I was on level 26. The second time it did in between levels while I was playing! Any ideas why this would be happening? It's frustrating to put time into playing a game only to have your progress reset for no reason
Sorry to hear that, unfortunately it could be so many different reasons beyond our control. The desktop version doesn't suffer from this, neither does the main Reprisal universe version :D

I conquered 13 islands, and now it has resetted! I still have 37391 points, but my progress is 0% and I have to restart from level 1!!... what the hell happened?..

The only hard level was 19, and even then the difficulty was to realize you don't necessarily have to fight in order to complete it. The rest of the game was quite easy, just terraform, terraform, terraform. 4/5

ok so for some reason everytime i complete the first level it just takes me back to the first level screen and when i go to the second level it still says locked. One time i managed to get through the second level as well and then afterwards it and the 3rd level were locked again and it was back to level 1...

Why battel if you can destroy the enemy by just terraforming their country. I usually at first terraform my own town so I have lots of people then I send them looking for fight while I terraform the enemys town destroying their homes :D

Unfortunately, the game is way too easy. After you get water storm skill, you can win any level with one stategy: Make huge mountain-expand huge mountain to contain a few cities-wait-wait-wait-tsunami-tsunami-tsunami.

There is a nice strategy working in later levels. Rise a plateau big enough to host a few cities. You must be at least one level higher than the competition and five/six level high in total. Control that your competition is barely above sea level or so. As soon as you can, unleash a tidal wave and watch them drown; repeat if necessary. Note that you must be building settlements so that your cities are back just after the wave. Vote to make it go up!
