Populous: The Beginning is a god simulator and part-time strategy in real time. We play as a shaman girl. She leads a primitive tribe, striving to become a real deity. According to the plot, the heroine moves between spherical levels-planets, where she searches for new sources of magic.Populous: The Beginning is the third game in the series. Unlike its predecessors, it has three-dimensional graphics. The sorceress can change the landscape, which is also made in 3D. The gameplay is built around terraforming. The project allows you to raise and lower mountains, form rivers, create volcanoes. Such interaction with the environment provides tactical opportunities. The resulting earthen bridge will allow units to get to the other side. The resulting crevice will cut off enemies from allied natives. A steep slope will slow down enemies. And a high hill will give an advantage to shooters. In addition, the protagonist can use combat spells. For example, cast fireballs, create a swarm of wasps, subjugate little people to your will. There is no need to stamp out soldiers, as in other RTS. Units are born themselves. You can change their specializations at will. If a warrior is no longer needed, then he is allowed to be converted into a priest. The game also includes the construction of buildings. And there is also transport. You are allowed to knock out passengers from vehicles in order to then hijack them.
