    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.

    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

    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

    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 :D .
