Ok, let's start speaking of Playing PowerMonger...

How do you cope with the 12 carrier pigeons limitation? I find this the only
dubious point of the game, since it is easy to send by mistake 3 ou 4 pigeons
to a commander (forgot that the 2nd commander is selected, then change your
attitude... a pigeon takes off). Populous didn't have anything irreversible,
so you could battle fiercely for hours... PowerMonger seems more
"irreversible" (new towns do not appear)

Of course this may be only a first false impression, the game seems so rich...
