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.

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”."

Hmm... When I use flood it seems to... not work. I will have a small portion of my empire up at 2 squares high, and the rest of the world is at 1 square. Then I cast flood, the water raises to above my 2 square level, and random islands appear all over, kinda like the world reset everywhere but by me. Is this just the amazing fastness of the computer player? I used to be able to use flood and reduce the computer to tiny islands that it creates while keeping my entire civilization... I'm just confused and disappointed.

Crappy rip-off of the old Populous game. A little too fast to be interesting for my tastes. No strategy involved, just who can click the fastest. Lame.

When I want the land to go up it goes down, when i want the land to go down it goes up. Also, the game screen is waaaay too small to do anything, it needs a full screen mode

(1) I encountered some kind of bug where completing a level on Easy pushed me into the Normal campaign. I wasn't able to back up to Easy to complete all of the levels to get all of the achievements. I'm trying to reproduce this bug now, but it involved starting over from scratch, so it'll take time. (2) The "Flat Land" achievement is too strict. At the end of the game, the World Map was so covered with dots that I couldn't figure out where the bumps or holes were in the terrain. I suggest relaxing this to "Flatten 90% of the world".

What an awesome game. Populus was the first game i ever played on super nintendo when it came out. You have ectaully made the land section part of the game (raising/Lowering) even better controlled then the original. YOu have done a great job, 5/5. I do ask for a mini map though. Game needs badges! thumbs up!

Good game, I like it. Just ran into a bug though, called Armageddon and now my hero and his hero are just standing on each other walking back and forth, gonna have to quit. :( Still, it's fun so far. 5/5

1. the skill icons look all the same.. some colorless jibberish. looking at the picture doesnt tell me anything about it unless i put my face right in front of the screen for a moment.
2. you never know if he raises or lowers the territory when using left click.
3. of course an experienced populous players always raises territory to level 3, reduces it back to level 0 (water) and then fills the whole to get a nice 6x6 flat ground. doing this with the mouse wheel is extreme painful. this was better in the eightys with real popolus.
3. the figures are all sprinters. they don't walk they ruuuun.
4. With 1 mana you can change any territory.. no matter how many earth you actually move.
but when you have more than 1 mana stored up .. its costs much more! that doesn't make any sense. a big mountain costs 10x 1 mana when i'm almost broke, but 1000 mana when i have a lot of mana?

3/5, it's an awesome and fun game, I love it. But there are two issues that bug me enough to take points off:
Lag, -1
The way 'leveling' the land works, sometimes the things it does when I click are just ridiculous and make no sense, -1
