Populous was a world engine like this one offcourse this is way greater but i played pop alot and getting this one now
Re: Inspired by Populous the beginning i think it was simila There is a game called Godus which is being made by the guy who made Populous. It can be viewed as the successor of Populous. PA however has nothing really in common with Populous.
Re: Inspired by Populous the beginning i think it was simila I'd love to see/help out with a mod that basically takes most of the ideas from Godus and puts them into PA Godus is in the process of being "Molyneuxed" pretty hard. Check out their latest update http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwRlW8fwt4 towards the end peter expresses interest in adding a feature where you "can sculpt everything in the game" and hints at evolutionary patterns and stuff I'm getting worried Godus will flop due to over ambition and a lack of people keeping Peter in check So it'd love to try making an equivalent experience in PA making use of the planetary mechanics, destructible terrain, and massive unit count
Re: Inspired by Populous the beginning i think it was simila Yeah, loved Populous 3 :mrgreen: . And terrain and battle were a little like PA. You needed defense from all sides because of the sphere. And it had desasters and stuff. Was so great. But I don't think that PA is inspired by Populous^^. It's more like both are inspired from the real three dimensional spherical world .
