There are four tribes in Populous: The Beginning; all of them are identical in ability. Each tribe is distinguishable by diffrent color, by a diffrent shaman graphic, and by diffrent building appearences.

Ikani

The Ikani tribe is the unofficial name for the Blue tribe; some players have speculated that this was the name that the developers were thinking of naming this tribe, though it seems the developers will even say that the Blue tribe is nameless. In terms of coding, the Blue tribe is called the Player tribe as seen in Single Player saved games. In Single Player, this is the tribe that the player takes control of to aid the Blue Shaman on her quest, to destroy her enemies and become a god.

Dakini

The Dakini are probably the most powerful enemy in Populous. When the player fights the Dakini, they have (50% of the time) their camp entirely complete.

Vault of Knowledges

The Dakini had multiple powerful and useful Vault of Knowledges. They contained spells like: Tornado and the Angel of Death. They also tried to prevent you from taking useful buildings like the Warrior Training Hut and the Firewarrior Training Hut.

Invasion of the Dakini

When the Dakini attacks they Swarm with a good strike force. On a mission like Archipelago the tribes use boats for a heavy attack, in that mission they also attack early. A Dakini attack force mostly has 4 Preachers, 6 Warriors and 6/8 Firewarriors.


Chumara

The Chumara tribe is popular for being on islands by themselves in Single Player. They are known for their use of preachers as well as some uncommon (by online standards) tactics to achieve victory.

They are on a island to themselves in levels:-

In level 19: Unlikely Allies the Chumara and the Blue Tribe are allies.

Matak

As far as Single Player is concerned, the Matak are probably the weakest of the four tribes in your adventure.

A mistake made in the demo version

In the demo version of Populous: The Beginning, the yellow tribe, which should be the Chumara, was named the Matak tribe
