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.

Starts in a broken multiplayer menu
And that's all you can do... I mean the only thing you can do from the initial game screen is to click and exit the game. All the executables D3DPopTB.exe, D3DPopTBUW.exe popTB.exe popTBUW.exe do the same thing - start up in this multiplayer screen. I guess that if other people in your LAN would start thi geme you would see each other and be able to start a game. But no one runs this game in any LAN, I wonder why... Anyway It would have been great to *not be forced to strat straight in the multiplayer screen* and be able to play the single player famous game... Perhaps that's why is 66% percent discounted, because the main part of the game is unaccessible
