After triing many things I've finally found the solution how to get Chumara to properly rebuild the base. The script still don't handle most of the things properly but it can give you a last challenge as after landbridging you possibly kill 'em all, unless you don't have any troops remaining. The fix will be included in the next patch that will fix Lightning Eel where the story text of Land of the Wilds is dropped by misstake. It was already removed but I forgot to compile the script. Also the first Launcher update is being prepared that fixes a survey bug, enables map preview feature and unlocks Strong mode that will be added as a mappack update soon. If you think that the first block is too easy then think again... Can you do it with fewer spells, troops, mana and wood, with your spell and firewarriors range reduced? Watch for the updates and remember to send feedbacks about strong mode.

News: Answering Feedbacks part 3
|
|
We got some feedbacks and questions since the last post so I collected some. Dezsike has been opend a topic on popre forums, so you can post there feedbacks and questions too.
 This Level is like a hard version of Crisis of Faith. [...]
This level reminds me of Dead Sea, Except for the swampy areas [...]

During the design progress, we decided to make some references to the original Populous (because this block is called Classic Worlds) and the history of the populous community. The most obvious is the Power of Faith. But there are much more references. On the first level you get the warrior training hut from the Dakini tribe. At the third map, you face with the Matak on a nightly planet and you able to get the swarm spell.
I found a question at popre forums. It might be useful. (answered by Dezsike)
| Hows the difficulty level (yet)? Easier / harder than Aoc/ usual Sp maps? What are the difficulty levels like you've been mentioning? |
It's easy in the beginning but will end up very hard on the last few levels. You can also set the difficulty with the launcher to make it easier or harder (not in the beta, it will be developed later)

It's about 13 hours since the Devil Worlds BETA is open and I saw alot of feedbacks arrived. Most of them included that some of the maps is very easy to rush. One of them (Legend of Kikikini) is easy because the attacking algorithm is bugged but I'm rewriting it right now with a completely new timing system bypassing the hard to time EVERY loops that only supports the power of 2. I'll introduce that to all maps but Lightning Eel where it works absoultely perfect for some reason. The map people find the most easiest is Power of Faith, and they are right. It just lets you even if you are a slow player to build up a huge army before let Chumara do anything. This will be changed with Update 1 that I'm working on right now. The time before the attack and the attack strength will be based on the size of your army so if you build up before worshipping the obelisk you will have to face an almost instant huge Chumara force. The most serious but is on Land of the Wilds where chumara is unable to rebuild (see the Known Bugs list on the survey window). If any mapdesigner around knows a solution for this please tell us in the Comments field. Thank You!
I suggest everyone who have a broadband connection to enable the automatic update check so the launcher will notify you when this and future updates are released. Aim to have the latest versions because many bugs will be eliminated in the future.
Edit: The update is released, please click the Updates button in the launcher. It's focused to fix the attacking bugs, the next update will be focused to the easy rushes. Also this patch fixes the invisible damaged ground bug on Power of Faith and Land of the Wilds. The full changelog and known bugs list can be viewed on the survey screen after exiting the game.

After 3 preview videos, now you can finally try Block 1: Classic Worlds yourself. Get ready for the surprises waiting for you while you adventure through the first 8 planets of The Solar System of Devil Worlds... And this is just the beginning! Many new surprises including new gameplay styles will be included in the future blocks. But let's not wait any longer! Click here to download the Classic Worlds BETA! Extract the archive to your Populous directory and start spmgr.exe to start the game (don't touch the archive located inside the SPpacks folder, the launcher will do it for you). This will start our launcher that will install and launch Devil Worlds. It doesn't overwrite anything so you can still play the original game. Also this launcher will manage the updates. There will be many of them in the beta stage so I suggest you to enable the automatic update check feature. As you will see, it's still in very early stage but we are planned to make this launcher a complete mappack manager where others can add their mappacks, enable multiple difficulty settings, multiplayer support, skirmish mode and many other cool features. Another feature you will notice after playing is a survey. It will ask questions about each map you checked that you've played and you can leave feedback. Please use this feature as we reserve the right to stop the development if too few feedbacks arrives. Also use this feature to report bugs you may encounter, as it's still a beta test, many bugs can occur.

Good news everyone! I'm almost finished the Alpha-ready version of the last map. As you will see, I made a complete new terrain style especially for this map. I uploaded some picture from the best parts. As you know, there was a mistake in the video of block 1. Unfortunately, I messed up the hdr files (Two different map had the same name) thats why Dezsike made a video from the Mystery of Kikikini except the Legend of Kikikini. (the right map wasn't finished when the video was recorded so it looked like the "World sized uberhole")
