Enemy tribes also have shamans, and later levels have all three tribes on one world. In the campaign, the player must fight the opposing Dakini, Matak and Chumara tribes for dominion over the solar system. Unlike the previous games in the series, The Beginning allows the player to directly control the action of followers, by ordering them to build structures or attack enemies. Populous: The Beginning places the player in control of a female shaman and her following tribe. GamePro said that Populous: The Beginning was not a bad game, in fact a good one "but it's a different game-one without a quintessential quality that defined Populous." Reviewers positively noted the excellent graphics complaints were directed at the artificial intelligence and the inability of the game to decide between being a real time strategy title or god game. Populous: The Beginning plays very different from earlier titles, and was welcomed to mixed reviews. The game's original title was The Third Coming, before being changed before the beta release. The addition of terrain deformation and manipulation, combined with "smart" villagers who automatically attended to tasks, was considered by the developers to add an entirely new dimension to the series. Populous: The Beginning was the first entry in the series to use true 3D graphics Bullfrog waited four years to develop the sequel to Populous II so that the graphics technology could catch up to their vision for a new and different game in the series. Throughout the twenty-five missions of the campaign, the player leads their tribe across a solar system, dominating enemy tribes and tapping new sources of magic, with the ultimate goal of the shaman attaining godhood herself. Unlike earlier games in the series, which cast the player in the role of a god influencing loyal followers, The Beginning took a radical departure from the earlier games and placed the player in the role of a shaman, who directly leads her tribe against opponents. The PC version of the game was released Novema PlayStation version was later developed and released on April 2, 1999, later emulated on the PlayStation Network in 2007. Populous: The Beginning is the third game in the PC strategy god games of the Populous series, developed by Bullfrog Productions in 1998.
