Balloon

Balloons are a form of transportation in Populous. They are more effective than boats in traveling and take less wood stocks but they can only support 2 units.

Uses for a Balloon

• It is very useful if your shaman is in a balloon as she can move faster and has a larger spell range.
• It supports all units of your tribe.
• Enemy balloons can be captured by any follower.
• Units can also travel above water with balloons.
• Spies can change their balloon colour so it looks like your enemy's balloons.
