Title: Populous, a horrible spin on a good idea
Review: I bought this game thinking it would be much like the old one. With a range of spells the molded the landscape, and relativly little control over your people. How wrong I was.The game took advantage of the booming RTS trend. All the spells you can cast are now only usable through a unit in the game that is called a shaman. And your following are no more then pesants. If they need a house, you have to tell them to build one. Otherwise they stand around waiting. If you need a warrior, tell them to build a barracks, then order a couple pesants to train. All in all, the game amounts to an RTS with ONE military unit and then some guy who can cast spells. Imagine Warcraft with only footman, and you have Populous.
