Cheats

Populous has built in cheats that can be activated using F-Codes after entering the correct word in the chatbox. This also activates debug mode which can be accessed by holding down 'O' and using the arrow keys. A few trainers have been created as well.

Built-in Cheats

These cheats can be activated by pressing Tab+F11 so that a box will come up similar to the chatbox in Multiplayer and then typing in 'Byrne'. Some rumours have been spread that changing the colours on the right side of the box will allow the AI players to use these cheats, this is not true. The built in cheats will not work in multiplayer.

Cheat	Code
Extra Mana	Tab + F1
Free Spells	Tab + F2
All Spells	Tab + F3
All Buildings	Tab + F4
Full Spells	Tab + F5

Notes:

• Will not work in Multiplayer.
• You can not receive Guest Spells using the built in cheats.
• Free Spells has no known effect.

Debug Mode

Debug mode can be acivated the same way built-in cheats are activated. These cheats do work in Multiplayer if an external program, such as a matchmaker, has not prohibited them. When used all other players will see your name tag before the variable your changing.

You can scroll through these cheats by holding 'O' and using the arrow keys. Up and Down scrolls through the variables and Left and Right changes the variable. Changing some of these variables can be useful in cases of editing certain game files or levels.

Trainers & Programs

A few trainers have been made to do similar tasks as the built in cheats. The most known one is Alacn's Populous Trainer which can do the same things but have an unlimited amount of spells. Using trainers in Multiplayer will resync the game and will not work.

The Populous MP Monitor lets you see each player's follower count, building count, statistics, which spells are charging, how much they are charging and what spells they have.
