Basic tactic on any level:
Build a huge mountain with a small flat surface on top. Wait for some of your guys to settle there. Flood a couple times. Win. Repeat for each level. Very boring.

Yep, I'm sure now. The game is definitely not letting me cast spells if I don't have the unbonused amount of mana available.

It's hard to tell, but it seems that the spell buttons being grayed out due to mana cost are not correctly taking achievements into account. For example, Flood doesn't seem to be available until 800 mana, no matter what. I could be wrong, though.

possible to make hotkeys for spells... really dont like having to keep going down and clicking thunderstaff to deal with their buildings.
that aside amazing game! 5/5 + favorited.

There is a lot of strategy in this game. Unfortunately for the most part it's better not to use it. Every map can be beaten easily just by leaving your followers on build mode and simply out-building the computer. any time I've ried other strategies it's either failed or just not been as good.

I always compare this game with Populous 2. This game could really improve with more spells. Earthquake was one of my favourites. Also you might add some random occuring creatures, monsters or gods to make it a little less repetitive, like in Populous 2. More achievements would be nice too. The rest is perfect in the game. 5/5

@BlueODwarf: on the main menu, options, "view" achievements (don't hit "reset" achievements by mistake!) - it tells you which ones you have and how many times multiplier. Combine with list I published here to work out which levels you missed. Sorry it's not easier.
@DaneofHalla: the game has 3 tracks, the title tune (1:16), and the two game tunes alternate with a combined length of 7 minutes 38 seconds. I really can't fit any more music into a game without making the download take too long!

Is there a way to check what achievements you have? I know I missed some in the first levels but I don't want to go into each level to check it.

i love this game, the only thing i think is lacking is the soundtrack, i mean its only about what 30 seconds and thats it and its just a continuous loop of that 30 seconds, i think it would be better if it was longer or if there were different soundtracks for the different levels, this is just my opinion though, but besides the short soundstrack, its an amazing game, and ive never played populaous before but id probably like it if its anything like this game or better

LOL I guess that time played is not so useful, I'm sure Donalon hasn't been playing for 25 hours... probably left the browser window open.

zzxjoanw: it's not really a minimap but you can see the whole world by using the small button at the bottom right. altarbozdag: time played is submitted as one of the score elements, use the drop-down to see who played the longest (value is in seconds).

I think it'd be cool if there were additional tribes on the map ... allies, neutrals, and enemies, with the ability to switch diplomatic stance. 3- or 4-way battle royals would be awesome.

Anyone can help me getting the Flat Land achievement? I've won the level 10 times and tried my best to get it with no avail... I find it highly frustrating

@cogitation & johnofjack (and many others too): yeah I realise now that was a terrible design decision. The ability to skip forward multiple levels was added very late in development and I clearly didn't follow through all the ramifications carefully enough. I'm looking at adding a 'back' button on the normal level selector if it's not too tricky.

There should be a version of this game where the two tribes are AI controlled and you you're the only god. This way you can choose the tribe's fates.

For people complaining about lack of strategy need, I guess it's because we are playing against AI anyways. If there were at least a 3+ players FFA and/or Multiplayer mode, it would require a little more strategy to beat the game.

BUG: On the Easy Campaign, acing Level 16 such that it unlocks 5 levels causes the game to switch to the Normal Campaign prematurely. I recommend changing it so that the player on Normal or higher can back up to an easier setting without losing achievements. As it is, acing Easy 16 locked me out of the achievements from Easy Campaign Levels 17, 18, 19. and 20.

CTRDamian: I haven't seen any problem like that in any browser (tested with all three using several versions of each). Try resetting cookies or rebooting? There's no protection in the game at that point and no reason (that I can see) why it would stop there.

Found it a little tricky for the gound raising and lowering, but all around as awsome remake of a classic - well done 5/5.

When i read "A game in the old-school style of the Bullfrog classic, “Populous”." i just couldn't resist trying this game out :D

Umm same thing happens on Firefox. Comes up with "LETS GET THIS BATTLE STARTED"
and just wont let me go forward to next level

I can complete a level but it wont go onto the next level. Is there a problem when using Google Chrome? Played using internet explorer on my home computer and everything is fine.

I wanted to restart a level and ended my current running game. Since my cordless Mouse was low on power, it made a double click instead of clicking once, resulting in a new game to get started. It should be standard routine not not make confirmation buttons on top of the delete game button or whatever.
My saved game is lost and would have to restart again...

If you ace any level from 15-20 on easy, it immediately bumps you into "normal," with no way to go back to the easy levels and try again for the accomplishments.
This is not a good feature.

@cipher_nemo why, did you read the description?
"A game in the old-school style of the Bullfrog classic, “Populous”."
