[[Image:Populous_Cover.jpeg|thumb|185px|right|''Populous: The Beginning Cover'']]'''''Populous: The Beginning''''' - is the third of the PC strategy god games of the Populous series, developed by [[Bullfrog|Bullfrog Productions]] in 1998, and often considered the definitive version. Developed by Climax, a version of ''Populous: The Beginning'' became available on the PlayStation in 1999. | | #redirect [[Populous: The Beginning]] |

| ==Overview==
| |
| | |
| ''Populous: The Beginning'' is slightly different from the other two ''Populous'' games in that instead of playing as a deity from the beginning - capable of divine intervention, you instead control play through your tribe's [[Shaman]], whose destiny it is to achieve divinity. The female [[shaman]] leads the Blue tribe through a [[Solar System|solar system]] of 25 planets, each time mustering her tribe against the opposing forces of the Red, Green, or Yellow tribes - each with its own [[shaman]], and later levels having all three on one world. Whilst the objective is always to eliminate all of the members of the other tribes, there are often only specific ways this can be achieved - through use spells gained from worshiping at the world's "artefacts" ("[[Stone Head]]s" for single use spells, "[[obelisk]]s" for multiple use spells, "[[Totem Pole]]s" for drastic spell effects, and "[[Vault of Knowledge|vaults of knowledge]]" for permanently learning the spell); or from building up a land-base, and breeding and training an appropriately sized army to bring upon the opposing tribes. You play the game from an overhead isometric perspective which enables you to quickly move about the globe of the planet you are on, viewing a 3D map which depicts the landscape, structures being built, and people maneuvering about - all done in realtime. A sidebar shows the status of the [[shaman]], shows tallies of the different kinds of followers (see below), and has specific information about what is available to you under the Buildings, Spells and Followers panels. The [[shaman]]'s spells are granted through [[Mana|mana]], which can run out without periods of follower rest, and is represented in the Spell Charge Rate bar. [[Image:pop2in.jpeg|thumb|left|Screenshot of ''Populous: The Beginning'' on the PlayStation.]] Throughout the game the [[shaman]]'s most important assets are her followers. The most basic and versatile kind, available from the beginning via the shaman's ''[[Convert]]'' spell used on the primitive, bearded "[[Wildmen]]", are the bare-chested [[Brave]]s - who build, gather materials, and can worship or fight for you. Later the tribe gains the knowledge to build training facilities, that will allow the [[Brave]]s to become armored [[Warrior]]s. These are the best at hand-to-hand combat and serve as the primary fighting forces to be led against the enemy. Along with all other followers can guard your home land-base with [[Guard Post]]s, or around the shaman with the G-key guard command. Later you can train mitre- and vestment-garbed [[Preacher]]s, who convert attacking enemy forces to your tribe (but cannot convert enemy [[Preacher]]s, who will attack them); horn-helmed [[Fire Warrior]]s, who are almost as weak as [[Brave]]s at hand-to-hand melee, but can shoot poweful fireballs at enemies from a distance; and eventually the combat-weak, black-cloaked [[Spy|Spies]], who can inflitrate and steal knowledge from the enemy tribes, and sabotage their buildings and projects, disguised as a member of the tribe. Buildings are upgraded as they are inhabited for periods by followers. [[Brave]]s, by gathering [[wood]] from surrounding [[tree]]s as when they are first built, can reconstruct the [[Small Hut]] into a [[Medium Hut]], and eventually into a [[Large Hut]], each different in its architecture as well as size. You construct buildings - Huts and training facilities - around your [[Reincarnation Site]], where your [[shaman]] will be reborn if killed to create a land-base to defend your tribe against the enemy tribes with, especially with the help of positioned [[Warrior]]s, [[Priest]]s and [[Fire Warrior]]s, and [[Guard Post]]s and [[Guard Tower]]s. Land-bases can be further adjusted by the terrain-altering spells ''[[Landbridge]]'', ''[[Erode]]'' and ''[[Flatten]]''. In later levels you gain the knowledge to construct [[boat]]s and primitive [[balloon]]s to attack your enemies with.

| ==Mythos==
| |
| | |
| The Populous solar system is home to 25 unnamed planets of varying landscapes, from blood-red and volcanic, to twilight sky and purple seas, to expansive verdant green plains. Unlike the worlds, the recurring enemies represented by the opposing tribes are named - the Green tribe are the "[[Matak]]", the Yellow tribe the "[[Chumara]]", and the often-dominant Red tribe are named the "[[Dakini]]". As well as the names of the tribes, we are given a glimpse at the tribe's language. The game makers also took care to give the followers of the tribe some sort of tribal language, to bring home the theme of the game as a war between primal tribes in the beginning of the worlds.

| ==Review==
| |
| | |
| ===Gameplay===
| |
| The gameplay in Populous is excellent. You have total control over everything in the game; where you want your people to go, which spells you want to cast, where you want to build at, and you can even re-shape the land with spells. You can use [[boat]]s or [[balloon]]s, or make your [[Shaman]] get some excersise and walk. You can also choose which spells to charge and when to charge them.
| |
| | |
| Those are just positive things, there are also major glitches in the game aswell.
| |
| | |
| All in all, gameplay gets an 8/10.
| |
| | |
| ===Graphics===
| |
| The graphics are pretty good. We now see much better graphics in games, but considering [[Bullfrog]] made this game in 1998, they should be cut some slack.
| |
| | |
| Still, though, the graphics are excellent.
| |
| | |
| Graphics gets a 9/10.
| |
| | |
| ===Strategy===
| |
| Populous is a major strategy game. It is, in player's humble opinions, one of the best strategy games out there. There are many different strategies you can use to defeat your enemy. Just choose the right one.
| |
| | |
| There are different strategies for different levels. On some levels you have to get to a specific island quick. On other levels, you have to build faster. It all depends on the player and the level.
| |
| | |
| Strategy gets a 10/10!
| |
| | |
| ===Sound===
| |
| The sound is pretty good. I must admit, there is a large variety of different sounds. In the background you will hear animals. You can hear the water splashing. You can even hear the wind blowing!
| |
| | |
| You can hear [[wildmen]] grunting and eating. When you cast a spell, the [[Shaman]] will say a different incantation for each spell.
| |
| | |
| Sound gets a 7/10.
| |
| | |
| ====Difficulty====
| |
| Hard
| |
| | |
| ====Learning Curve====
| |
| About an hour or two. It takes a long time to get as good as some people are, though.
| |
| | |
| ====Artificial Intelligence====
| |
| Good. They play correctly and nicely. The AI may not be clever at times, E.G. walking into [[swamp]]s constantly, they normally have pre-built bases to increase the difficulty and avoid [[rushing]].
| |
| | |
| ====Total====
| |
| 8.5/10
