	The Balloon also increases the [[Range]] of a [[Shaman]] and [[Firewarrior]], though [[preacher]]s have no effect in balloons. The Balloon also increases the defense of a unit but the [[Shaman]] is more suitable to damage from a [[Firewarrior]] while placed in a Balloon. Although the Balloon is effective against opponent units a simple [[swarm]] can make the followers dismount the Balloon immediately by either drowning them (If the balloon was over water) or making them run crazy when on land.

			Mounting a Balloon with Firewarriors and casting Magic Shield makes them completely invulnerable which led to this tactic being banned from most multiplayer games because of it's unstoppable nature. Also, mounting a Balloon with at least one spy makes you able to fake the Balloon's ownership and foster war between allies (theoretically).

	Balloons are a form of transportation in [[Populous]]. The Balloon can hold only two units. They also assume the color of the [[Tribe]] or [[spy]] that inhabits the balloon. They also make units move more quickly and also enable them to move over water which is otherwise impossible which makes them more effective than [[Boat]]s in traveling. They also take up lesser amounts of [[Wood]] during construction. Opponents' Balloons can be captured if one of your followers is made to sit in their Balloon.
