Players can customize their deity, develop devastating elemental powers including a rain of fire, lightning bolts, and summon multiple effects for increased damage. Populous II for Windows was released by Bullfrog Productions in 1993, as the follow-up to their earlier hit Populous. It was followed in 1998 by Populous: The Beginning, which saw the series move to a fully 3D environment changed its focus to a much smaller population, while vastly improving the storyline, but somehow losing some indefinable element of its predecessors' charm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the game's introduction (which fails to achieve the levels of humour we've all come to expect from Peter Molyneux) explains, the player takes on the role of a demigod, one of Zeus' many children by a mortal woman. The ultimate aim of the game is to defeat Zeus himself, thereby earning a place in the pantheon of true gods. Along the way you will face myriad lesser deities, beginning with titans and demigods like yourself and later progressing to other famous Greek gods like Poseidon and Minerva. Each opponent has their own personality, which is reflected in their actions on the battlefield - for instance, Poseidon, being the god of the sea, is extremely proficient in the use of water-based abilities. There are a total of 1000 levels available in the Conquest mode, but you will not have to complete all of them - the better your performance on a level, the further you are allowed to advance before meeting another challenge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Electronic Arts","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":49311204213014,"sku":"88","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2008421655694_47379b3b-e1e6-4e04-9fb5-00562ce464f5.jpg?v=1729337480","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/populous-2","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
