Haha i was 9 and I only had the demo. I also wanted to badly have the full version but being 9 and without the internet it was impssible to figure out how.
@@nyccoyax3831 You were indeed lucky. Copies of this game were unobtanium because few stores stocked it. Played the demo until I was able to pirate it in the early 2000s. The biggest problem is that this game is wasted on modern displays; it really benefits from a true install on a CRT Win2k machine.
I need help The gog install supports direct3d/hardware rendering but not the 1.5 patch/ multiverse launcher after when I install the 1.5 enhancement patch or multiverse launcher it no longer supporst directt3d rendering but only software rendering (I tried selecting opengl and direct3d in launcher options. Even direct 3d option is no longer selectable in hardware select option exe and when i launch the original direct3d launcher executible it no longer works How do I get hardware rendering support after the enhancement/ multiverse launcher?
I love the 'Multiverse Launcher' version of the game, but for some reason(s) it does not seem to fully support the Intel integrated graphics cards (UHD 620). Even with -allres it's not possible to change the render resolution from 640x480. GOG version works fine with -allres in both software and d3d mode, Win11.
Find this several days ago, now playing non stop)) But one question... Hotkeys doesnt work( I have no idea what i have to do, imgui menu on, i`m click shift+f1 - nothing happens
Double check the settings you have selected in the launcher. Renderer has to be set to "Direct3D9", Input to "Raw Input" and Arguments has to contain the text "-allres -MULTIVERSE".
Oh, I didn't notice you added Devil System: Chapter 1 on the website! But where can I download the "Populous The Beginning Demo" map pack for the Multiverse Launcher? That would be a blast from the past 😍
Once I got to 275 population with some huts that had not upgraded yet, the game wouldn't let me build any more huts, was that a glitch or am I not understanding something?
@@PopulousTheBeginning So ....ok, That's kind of weird, is it possible to undo that? I understand hardware and engine limitations but I've never liked limit caps on buildings or units. Essentially, that means if you want to get really high population you can't have duplicate training buildings or very many towers then , hm Thanks for the response
Help! I can't download any of the campaigns. It keeps saying "The application has not been opened with administrator rights, which is a requirement whilst having the game installed in Program Files." However I did open Multiverse with adminstrator rights. How do I fix this?
Right click on MultiverseLauncher.exe, select "Properties", go to the "Compatibility" tab and check "Run this program as an administrator", then click Apply and try again. If it still doesn't work, you will have to install Populous and Multiverse somewhere other than Program Files, such as in AppData, Documents folder, etc. or your non-Windows drive.
Lots of improvements, might be worth loading back up for nostalgia's sake. Lack of population cap seems like it could mess with the balance potentially, but I guess it is unlikely to get well above 199 followers anyway
Can anyone help a brother out? I install the MVLauncher and try to download campaigns but whenever I try to download them, the launcher just restarts and a crash log comes up. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Also, "Best and ONLY RTS god game" I feel like you ought to give some recognition to Black & White 1+2.
The Sky actually looks better in the original Populous 3 version.I love the moving volumetric clouds in the original.Here the clouds are flat , and not looking good
I know its a good game, but with todays game engines, a game like populouse the begginning should be easier to recreate then mod the original no? I understand that todays adults dont have as much tolerance to crap as they had when they were a kid, but im on the side of progress and not reanimation. (
I remember when I was like 8 years old I dreamed of being able to play a different colour tribe lol.. now 24 years later its possible :)

@@mklizzar I was lucky my class mate introduced me to this game, he had it full on CD.

the last change is by far the most important one imo, gj tox

Weren't able to get the game running with the normal launcher. That one worked like a charm, thanks a lot
Hey this is gold!!
i just retrying to play AOC with downloads in web but with this launcher works 10/10 and more mods!!

I need help
The gog install supports direct3d/hardware rendering but not the 1.5 patch/ multiverse launcher
after when I install the 1.5 enhancement patch or multiverse launcher it no longer supporst directt3d rendering but only software rendering (I tried selecting opengl and direct3d in launcher options. Even direct 3d option is no longer selectable in hardware select option exe and when i launch the original direct3d launcher executible it no longer works
How do I get hardware rendering support after the enhancement/ multiverse launcher?
D3D is not compatible with either
wow this is amazing .. .tempted to come back .. :D

@@MegaBlu33 Yeah, exactly like that
How can I lower the speed of mouse? Even the minimum in in-game options is too fast.

Go to modding - more campaigns - and it’s at the bottom
@@PopulousTheBeginning Thanks man! ✌️
wait how do you disable the population cap?
Late reply, but it's simply disabled by default with the Multiverse launcher.

The 80 building plan limit is still there

I just find this gem.
Start installing.
Is there a skirmish vs AI, or AI in multiplayer?
Lots of improvements, might be worth loading back up for nostalgia's sake. Lack of population cap seems like it could mess with the balance potentially, but I guess it is unlikely to get well above 199 followers anyway
Play with the smarter ai and 1 of the more difficult made campaigns and try getting even a 100 pop without getting absolutely wrecked xD
Noelia says hello
How do you change tribe anyway?
settings in the launcher
Heroes!!!

late reply, but I guess Black and White isn't seen as an RTS?
These are decent, welcome changes.
Next update Hardware Rendering please, need my Anti-Aliasing :P
Currently being investigated
;) OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG
i play this game in my ps1 and it was ok
now for pc
it look i will spend some time here :)
So is this just an objective improvement over that last modloader?
Yep
anyone else experiencing a really sensitive mouse with this, even with the mouse speed all the way down?? its very odd, feels bad to play
The Sky actually looks better in the original Populous 3 version.I love the moving volumetric clouds in the original.Here the clouds are flat , and not looking good
I am sorry. I am too distracted by the 4:20 length of the video.
WHY is my game in small window mode can you heeeeeeeeelp
Tried pressing alt+enter?
Should have done "69" changes
GL improving it so much to create 69 changes :P
I know its a good game, but with todays game engines, a game like populouse the begginning should be easier to recreate then mod the original no?
I understand that todays adults dont have as much tolerance to crap as they had when they were a kid, but im on the side of progress and not reanimation. (
You’d think a company could create a spiritual successor to the game
Craig mate, there's just been another update (I think it's ver 3.4.1 to 3.5.4 now). There are no real changes I can see. What's new here? Cheers
