Storm:

Started playing in '99.

Is now known as I_use_hAx. Supertribe has been using multiple nicknames during his Populous-career, such as PowerTribe, Supertribe, TheProphet, Instinct, Clogs, ClassicalGas etc.

Dutch. Member of [[TDM]] until he stopped playing in February, 2007. Considered by many as the one of the best Populous player ever at [[Populous Reincarnated]], if not the best.

However, this turned out to be bs...

Pressure Point

2007-07-07T22:23:09Z

Storm:

Pressure Point is identicle to the [[Single Player]] level, [[Middle Ground]]. However 90% or more of the players do not worship the [[Stone Head]] which grants you [[Armageddon]], the level mostly only includes constructing, defending and [[adapt]]ing.

This is a level which goes in depth on defending with [[tower]]s. You each start with a good shaped, bunky base. [[Earthquake]]s will shape the land heavily but it will take many [[earthquake]]s to sink it down to water.

==Defending==

Remember on Pressure Point, If you don't have the upper hand, then camp. Wait until your huts upgrade and etc, until your population is at least 150+ and you have a few troops to spare. Always repair attacks on your defense and keep a steady number of [[firewarrior]]s on hand to refill those [[tower]]s. [[Brave]]s also serve as a good defense because they stall for time and can push shamans into the water along with extra pushes from a [[firewarrior]]. If you don't even want to waste as much as a [[brave]], patrol some [[Ghost Army|ghosts]], although [[brave]]s work better as [[Ghost Army|ghosts]] can still stall for time if they are in quantity.

==Attacking==

Attacking is very important on Pressure Point, because if your not attacking, your not winning! That goes for almost all levels, though.

Ok, most use [[Earthquake]] to attack [[tower]]s, but some do not advise this, [[Tornado]] works much better in some player's opinions.

Say at the start of the game you are building [[tower]]s and your opponent casts an [[earthquake]] on you. It probably hit about 3 [[tower]]s. If you built them good enough the [[earthquake]] should not destroy any of them and only catch fire which would take away about 3 [[wood]] from them. You can easily repair this by assigning one [[brave]] to each, and that would only take away 9 [[wood]]. Then it shouldn't take long to repair it, by then your opponet may have half an [[earthquake]].

Use [[Tornado]] on [[tower]]s, unless you see millions of [[tower]]s clumped together. [[Tornado]] is nearly guarenteed to destroy a whole [[tower]] and sometimes chips off wood from other [[tower]]s.

This is another vital part to winning, after you destroy your opponent's defense or part of it, you should build over it, otherwise a game could take a long time.

When your thinking, "Their defense is worn out, now what?", attack their village. The universal Pressure Point strategy is to back them up to their village then let hell break loose and cast those [[earthquake]]s and [[volcano]]es you saved up during your battles. Don't forget troops too! 2 warriors to an upgraded hut is quite good.

==Starting Off==

Here is a basic strategy to start off. As soon as the match starts convert largest group of wildmen, send 10 to fw hut plan. Your shaman should be done making pillars, so imediatly move her to the strip between you and your closest enemy. While she is moving lay tower plans across that strip and send men to it 1 per tower plan. Make 2 converts on the this strip. Then convert all the wildmen on the strip to the middle, make a line of tower plans down this strip on the side where you enemy faces until you reace the middle. Lay one tower plan on the first step of the middle. 1 man each plan. Your FW hut should be ready, train 6 fws fill towers from front to back on each strip. Convert some of the strip to your ally, leave some though. Lay hut plans when you have idle braves, 5 men per hut. Convert all the wildies around your base until you have 40+. Charge EQ and ghost, use ghosts to take fws out of towers. Keep warriors ready and keep repairing your defense with fws and landbridges, try not to waste eqs on towers and instead on huts and hills at the enemy base, use tornadoes/warriors to destory lone towers. Keep the pressure with warriors and move you defense closer to the enemy base.

==Adapting==

{{Expand|Defending, Attacking and Adapting}}

{{Note|
*Adapting is pretty much taking advantage of your land. 

*This really can't be explained but remember one thing, act as if its you going up to a defense and creating something you couldn't get passed.

Harvesting

2007-07-07T22:15:11Z

Storm:

Harvesting is one of the most rudimentary techniques used in online play. It allows a player to increase their [[wood]] surplus, by carefully controlling/monitoring the cutting process of the trees in the immediate proximity to their base.

== How It's done ==

Mainly used on Craters, Two on Two and sometimes Face off. Farming is taking a certain amount braves, depending on the size of the tree (E.G: If the tree has three wood you'd take 2 braves, if it has 4 wood [maximum] you would take 3 braves) and hold ctrl, click on the tree then to the wear the ground, repeat this until you have done the same routine 4 times (maximum you can do). Farming a tree with 2 pieces of wood is recommended as there's no point in doing so. That is the basics of farming. Another option could be, after ctrl clicking the tree, ctrl click it to a plan. That way the wood is already at the plan, speeding up the building process. And decreasing the risk of cutting a tree down fully. Of course there is no point farming on maps which have vast amounts of trees (Pressure Point, Dead sea) and other maps.
