Forgive me if this is a little scrambled, but I've broken one hand and can't type terribly well. Obviously you've not seen "The Promised Lands," which is basically the same thing as Populous, only with new setttings. Western worlds (Where it's Cowboys vs Indians), Leggoland (Where it's... Oh, guess!), The French revolution (You get to play the aristocracy! Your symbol is the guilliotine!), silly land (Which is just plain Weird) and ComputerWorld (Where your walkers are bugs, the buildings are little computer stations and castles are complete CAM stations, your flag is the Commodore and the enemy flies Atari, and the holy symbols are a mouse and a joystick, respectively. The stones and trees are coffee cups, pencils, and cigarette butts, and the terrain is greenbar!).
