The first release had 25 levels avaliable for users to pick from ([[Cray Bot]] only had 5) as well as the ability to fully custumize the avaliable spells and buildings in a match (which was not avaliable in [[Cray Bot]]). While the first release had no real scripts, it was a great start to a wonderful program concept and the public seemed to like it.

	Populous Skirmish ~~is still left~~ uncompleted~~; it is unknown as to whether~~ [[Khickman]] ~~will finish this program or not. The problem lies in the fact~~ that ~~there would need to be 150 scripts written in order to finish~~ the ~~software,~~ and ~~since that~~ is ~~an enormous task~~ to do ~~as one person,~~ the ~~likelyhood of such a task being completed without help is very slim~~.		Populous Skirmish will most likely go uncompleted. [[Khickman]] himself says that the task of making one-hundred and fifty [[AI]] scripts is much too hard for him to do. There is a possibility he will give the source code to somebody else and let them finish the program instead.
