This patch for Populous 3: The Beginning doesn't work with the 'software rendering' version of the game. Be also aware that it let's you enter any resolution, but the game actually only accepts resolutions up to: 1440x900 (for 16:10) and 1280x1024 (for 4:3). It doesn't seem to support 16:10 resolutions. For color depth, enter '16'. Cutting optimization online. Populous: The Beginning reverses this: you're forever ordering minions around, while reshaping the land itself is a rare treat. A cynic might argue -not altogether unreasonably -that this seismic shift in game design reduces Populous to the level of just another real-time strategy game. Populous is an award-winning computer game designed by Peter Molyneux for Bullfrog Productions, released originally for the Amiga in 1989. It is regarded by many as the first god game. It is the first video game in the Populous series, preceding Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods and Populous: The Beginning. Summary edit edit source. Apr 02, 1999 Populous: The Beginning.

Today Populous is the game focus. Populous and Populous 2 are already available for the Mac on GOG.com. Populous 3 – The Beginning was the only Populous game not ported yet. So here it is! Because of Populous 3, I made a game page for Populous and Populous 2 on this website as well. The games can be found now under the strategy section of the game ports. Enjoy!
In the third part of the Populous series, you control your shaman and the tribe of her followers in a difficult quest to conquer all 25 planets of a star system and ascend to godhood. For the first time in the series, the world is presented in true 3d, which at the time amazed both the players and the gaming press.The level of control you exert over your followers also takes you to a new level: you can order individuals or groups to perform certain tasks like gathering resources, constructing buildings, or attacking your enemies.
