Game Details:

"Populous 2" was created by Bullfrog and released in 1991. It is a real-time strategy game set in ancient Greek mythology. In the game, players can not only manipulate the terrain to help their followers prosper, but also use over 30 divine skills such as firestorm, tsunami, and lightning to defeat the enemies of opposing gods. The game introduces a skill tree system that allows players to customize their divine power combinations, enhancing the tactical depth and replayability, making it one of the most diverse works in the series.


Editor's Recommendation:

If you enjoy mythological backgrounds, strategy challenges, and god-creation gameplay, "Populous 2" is a classic you can't miss. Compared to the first generation, it has a richer divine power system, more complex combat strategies, and highly flexible skill combinations, making each game full of changes. It is not only the pinnacle of the "Populous" series, but also laid the foundation for modern god-like simulation games.


Game Walkthrough:

  • Skill combinations are important: prioritize unlocking offensive divine powers (such as firestorm and lightning) and control skills (such as mist and chaos) for quick suppression of the enemy.
  • Terrain manipulation remains core: flat terrain speeds up population growth, while digging water pits and valleys can block enemy attacks.
  • Recommended divine power combinations: Fire + Wind + Lightning is a common fast-attack combination, and earthquakes and floods can be added in the later stages to enhance destructive power.
  • Learn to anticipate enemy actions: the AI will react based on your divine power deployment, and it is crucial to pre-arrange defenses and interrupt skills.
  • Utilize the skill tree system: allocate skill points reasonably, adjust ability combinations according to the map and enemy types, and improve combat efficiency.
