News: Answering Feedbacks part 2
News We are received another bunch of feedbacks since we've selected and answered some of them. Sadly many was them were just an empty survey sent with the default values. Please fill in the information before click the Send button and please only tick the maps you have really played, oh and please fill the comment field also. If you don't have any special to say, tell us what you've found good or bad, for example "I like the sky so much".
I've selected few more feedbacks to answer:

I can't play it when I select start
You have to put the Launcher (spmgr.exe and SPpacks folder) to the Populous folder otherwise it won't work. This will not overwire any of the game files even temporarily, it's because of the future Single Player mappack support.

omg i love this expansion pack!!!!
Thank you very much, we're happy that you like it, but it's important to tell you that it's not an expansion nor a sequel. It's entirely made just for fun.

hm . Sorry if i will offend but in land of wilds . i Cheated to see what braves would do to the prison i used a lb to chumara and they really rebuilded but they didnt atack .
We know that, but thank you for telling us. The attacking algorithm is not done yet because they can't rebuild without landbridging to the prison, but if they would do so you could rush them easily, that's the thing we want to prevent with seperating them to an island.

You can expect another patch soon, mostly it will update the terrain styles of Power of Faith, Land of the Wilds and Legend of Kikikini because the lava and damaged ground texture file (cliff) is not perfect. It's possible that we change skies to make them look similar in Software and D3D mode and also I'm working on the scripts to correct bugs have been reported. Don't forget to report bugs, your experience and feedbacks but please, only tick the maps on the main survey screen you've really played.

News: Answering Feedbacks
News It's about 30 hours since the Devil Worlds BETA is open and we have received many feedbacks. I've selected some of them and I'll answer them this way.
In case you want to join the Beta test click here. Extract the archive you download (and not the one inside the archive) to your Populous directory, start spmgr.exe and rememer to click the Updates button.

i had a problem building boat house . but then restarted level and there wasnt the bug again :P
What was that problem? I never had problems building the boat house, possibly you placed the plan and removed it, it won't give back once buildable buildings.

What a wonderful / awesome map : D never ever played something like this : D
Creative use of the game mechanisms is the way to do things the original developers never even think about it.

Make the cause of the first landbridge event known in the form of a hint.
You should read the informations that don't open automatically.

Start the level with a 15 minute time limit.
I've found another solution. I've reduced the 10 minutes to 6 minutes by default and now every people (including the Shaman) reduces the time by 5 seconds. This way you can expand your population to about 60 warriors but prepare for their preachers coming almost instantly that is hard to counter with only blasts - or at least it's more challenging.

matak warriors and braves sometimes don't kneel for the preachers near their boat hut. Instead, they seem to run in place and don't convert.
It's a bug with Populous, we can't do anything about it, sorry. You should blast them into the water.

Site News: Happy Birthday Populous Online!
News It's a big day in the history of Populous Online. The site is 6 years old today. To celebrate I've uploaded one of the old sile logos our site had in the past. To see it click here. This design and name was made in 2006 when JohnNet provided us webspace to host the site on. The number of visitors keeps increasing that really surprised us. Thank you for visiting the oldest Populous fansite, I hope you found everything you were looking for.
About the Devil Worlds Single Player Challenge, we just developed new things such a tornado fix on lava styles, conversation messages and a yet secret thing that you will see in the beta. You probably know that if you ever played Multiplayer but it would take away the fun of the surprise if I tell you.

News: Exams Over
News Phew, finally. Exams were hard and was alot in the past 2 months but now it's over and now I'll have more time for the Single Player Challenge. Please apologise for the delay, you will have the public beta soon. I've encountered a little problem, I've rewritten the attacking algorithm of level 5 five times already and it's still not working as I expected, but it's close now. Also Devilhu is remaking level 7 and 8, level 8 is nearly completed. I also developing the launcher that will do the miracle and load the Solar System of Devil Worlds and later other Single Player packs and also provides you a feedback interface to tell us your option about each beta map.
