Linked Isles
From Populous Wiki
Linked Isles
The three player map Linked isles is identical to world 6: Building Bridges in Single player mode. It is found in the Map pack 'The Beginning'. Although this is a 3 player map, one can also do a 2 player version.
On Linked Isles, there are 3 obelisks. One is in blue's area, another in red's and the final is in yellow's. The one in Blue's land contains magical shield, Red's contains Boat House and Yellow's contains Invisibility.
There is also a stone head on each colour's land. This contains mana and takes 6 followers to worship.
Strategies On Linked Isles
It is a good idea to get these bonuses early on as one can then weaken their enemy with abilities that they do not yet have.
Another good stratergie plan is to 'steal' the opponent's obelisk bonus, thus rendering their 'special ability' useless if you can counteract it.
If you worship the stone head as soon as you can, you will be put in a string advantage as the other players will probably not have worshiped it so early on in the game.
