"Populous: The Beginning" is a fantasy real-time strategy game, where players control a shaman leading their tribe across a solar system to become a goddess. This third entry in the Populous series features 3D graphics, a departure from previous games which had players acting as gods influencing followers. The game can be played in single-player with 25 missions or in multiplayer mode.
