You are opposed not only by the native inhabitants who fight fiercely to defend their homes , but also by roving bands of other invaders.

In addition, you must keep your army supplied with food and contend with forces of nature such as rain and snow that slow your marches. The layout of the game screen and controls is very similar to that of Populous. In the center of the screen is a scrolling map of a small area of countryside, viewed from a three-quarters perspective. You can move around this closeup map by clicking on arrow icons or by positioning the cursor on a tiny overview map which appears in the upper left comer of the screen.

Though the manual doesn't say so, you can also scroll around by pressing the cursor keys. As in Populous, the figures on the close-up map are very small, but their actions are quite lifelike. This sense of realism is heightened by the simulated 3-D effects. You can zoom in or out on the map, and even view it from any angle by using rotation controls. At the side and bottom of the close-up map are various control icons. By clicking on them, you can send your captain orders - instructing him to attack, to build weapons, to get food from a friendly village, or to march from one spot to another.

One of the most important controls is one that allows you to display an information window about any person or object on the screen. For example, you can click on a building in a settlement to find out what kind of building it is, who's inside the building, who rules the settlement, and what quantities of food and other supplies are stored there. By clicking on an individual person, you can find out the person's name, age, occupation, and loyalty. This feature allows you to learn a great deal about the little figures that go scurrying around the screen.

Another source of information is the game's many sound effects. In the Amiga version of Populous, you could always hear a heartbeat that represented the health of your tribe; in Powermonger, you can always hear the breathing of your captain.

When it's slow and regular, all is well. When you give your captain an order, he'll respond by saying "Yeah" - loudly and enthusiastically if he agrees with the order, or less so if he feels it's a bad idea. When your army wins a battle, the men cheer loudly. Sometimes you can hear the troops murmuring among themselves as they sit around the campfire. As you move around the map, you'll hear various local sounds.

Saws and hammers indicate that the enemy is building weapons; the bleating of sheep identifies a potential food source; singing birds tell you that spring has come at last.

Powermonger is chiefly a game of skill and planning. Brute force doesn't always win the day: If you kill too many of the local inhabitants, there will be nobody left to produce food, and no new recruits for your army. Since the conditions are different in each land, you must also vary your strategy. In one place, for example, food may be in short supply, so getting groceries might be your main goal. In places where there's a lot of water, your army may want to use boats for conquest, but taking too many will reduce food production in the fishing villages.

In some lands you've got to attack quickly and repeatedly to succeed, while in others you've got to bide your time and build your forces - or face instant annihilation. The game becomes even more complex when you take over a village that has its own captain.

Since he, too, comes under your control, you can give him orders just as you can your original captain.

Although Powermonger is not a fast-action arcade-style game, neither does time stand still while you're deciding what move to make next. Your army's food supply is constantly being consumed, seasons are always changing which determines how much food is available and how easy it is to travel , and your enemies are building weapons and perhaps even conquering villages themselves. If you have several captains under your control, it takes some fancy footwork or mousework to watch all of them at once.

It's quite possible for one captain to be attacked and wiped out while you're leading another captain to war. Although there's a lot to learn before you master Powermonger, the beginning worlds are easy enough to tackle after picking up only a few commands. As you progress, new twists and obstacles are added to each world, and you must learn new tactics to overcome them.

The deeper you get into the game's options and strategies, the more exciting and challenging it becomes. With game play that is deep and engaging, and extraordinary graphics and sound, Powermonger may become an even bigger hit.

Power Monger sets the player as a ruler struggling to reclaim the kingdom he lost during violent storms that destroyed his civilization.

You must first appoint yourself as the captain and build an army along with your loyal subjects. Create weapons, barter for food or items, and prosper as you prepare for battle against those who have taken advantage of your absence!

Take on PowerMonger, new from the makers of Populous! You are the leader of a displaced tribe, newly arrived in an uncharted territory - a living world where each individual has a home, occupation, and level of intelligence.

The game world is vast but it is only accessible in small increments. Basically, PowerMonger is played a little bit at a time as you work your way through unrelated plots of land to conquer. In amplification, it should be noted that the lands are unrelated in the respect that what you accomplish in one land has no affect on the next one; the only connection is that once victorious in any land, you are limited to advancing only to land that is adjacent to the one just vanquished.

In this manner, you work your way through the lands to the ultimate goal of total conquest. While Populous was limited to interaction with the terrain and population as a manipulative means to an end, PowerMonger presents a much earthier grass-roots involvement in which you deal with a living world where sheep can be slaughtered for food, the seasons change, troops are recruited and even carrier pigeons function as a communications device.

Even better, there is a definite need for a strategic approach many is the time your troops will be outnumbered to the major activity, namely wiping the enemy troops off the map. Very innovative and fun game. Surprisingly enough Peter Molyneux always lists this game as his biggest disappointment. I have no idea why maybe it didn't sell, although it was ported to consoles even.

I loved going to a new village, buying all the weapons they had, then killing them with same. Surprising omission from the Bullfrog collection of games available, brilliant game and its WWI expansion I would have finished it back in the Amiga days but so dodgy with the saves! A great classic in the God Game genre, a spiritual successor to the original Populous. With the recent resurgence of interest in these types of games, it would be a great time to bring this to GoG.

Take my money! I played this for hours. I almost completed the map.. Fantastic old game! My Sega mega drive version never came with a manual, so never figured out how to make anything except pikes and boats, always ran out of food and i would constantly find myself getting annoyed at the one stubborn villager left who for some reason wouldn't join my ranks.

The game still made me feel like a military genius! Never got tired of making a cannon and watching and hearing the awesome destructiveness. This game is a lot of fun! I'm also surprised GOG doesn't already have this. Extremely obscure, hard to master, intricate levels of interaction and simulation. I never could manage to get beyond 10 or so levels, but the level of simulation in the game won my heart x more than populace or any game that came since.

Making weapons and then going of eating livestocks on your way to peppering your neighbour with arrows is fun! Get the rights to sell it, make it work on modern systems and then advertise a lot.

Many of us old timers have heard of. Few have probably played it but their curiosity will get the best of the. It will sell good initially, drop a bit and then get a steady sale I think. I would love to see Powermonger on GOG.

Used to play the SNES version many, many years ago.
