Populous™: The Beginning
Description
Includes Populous the Beginning and the Undiscovered Worlds expansion.
Shaman, the path is laid before you. Your destiny is to become a god! But it will not be easy. Not for you, and not for your followers. To become a deity, you must conquer all 25 planets of the system and defeat every other tribe and their shamans. The ultimate struggle will be a difficult one, as you build mystical cities, unleash devastating spells, harness volcanoes and tornadoes, and shape the face of the planet at your will. Remember, your apotheosis awaits!
In the third part of the Populous series, you control your shaman and the tribe of her followers in a difficult quest to conquer all 25 planets of a star system and ascend to godhood. For the first time in the series, the world is presented in true 3d, which at the time amazed both the players and the gaming press.The level of control you exert over your followers also takes you to a new level: you can order individuals or groups to perform certain tasks like gathering resources, constructing buildings, or attacking your enemies.
Populous: The Beginning takes a slightly different approach from the previous installments of the series but this is not, by any means, a bad thing as it kept the series fresh and innovative. It was a bold move for Bullfrog but the proof exists in the fact that, after all these years Populous 3 is still a great strategy god-game.

Never really beat the game before
I never really beat this game before, but I loved it a lot. I want to start playing it again, but I noticed that when I play in 1920x1080@240hz in Fullscreen its just a black screen, when I change it to Windowed then it works, so that's an issue they need to fix. I am playing on an RTX 2070 and 7800x3d with W11.

Did Not Age Well... BUT
Worship Stone Heads, Vaults and the occasional Totem Pole. Produce villagers (Braves), train them, and turn them into a deadly army. Convert Wildmen to your tribe, or send out Preachers to indoctrinate your enemies. And when everything is in place, lay waste to your opponents along with your trusty Shaman and her myriad of amusing spells that can even transform the battlefield (Earthquake and Volcano on a 3D plane? Bring it!). If only you could remap certain keys and allow adjustment of the framerate to be as smooth as possible, but alas, it cannot be done. But that doesn't mean it's a bad game - it does offer a lot of enjoyment for the first-time player, like it did back in the late 90's. Mess around with your armies or your spells - and remember, NOTHING beats creating a backdoor with the Landbridge spell!
