Step into the role of a rising deity in Populous II – Trials of the Olympian Gods (Japan), brought to the SNES in 1993. Building on the foundation of the classic god simulator, this installment places you in the pantheon of Greek mythology as you command your followers, flatten land to expand your civilization, and unleash divine powers against rival gods.
How to Play
Your objective is to grow your followers' population and wipe out the opposing deity's forces. Use the D-pad (mapped to arrow keys) to navigate the isometric map and select actions. Raise and lower the terrain using the A and B buttons (Z and X keys) to create flat land where your followers can build larger settlements. The Start and Select buttons (Enter and Shift) open menus to cast miracles like lightning strikes and tidal waves.
Tips
- Expand early: Focus entirely on flattening land for your followers during the opening minutes. The faster they can build larger homes, the quicker your divine power regenerates.
- Strategic miracles: Don't waste power on small skirmishes. Save up for devastating natural disasters to wipe out large clusters of enemy settlements at once.
- Protect your leader: Your Papal Magnet acts as the focal point for your forces. Keep him safe and well-positioned, as his survival is critical to coordinating attacks.
