Overview and Gameplay
Shape the world as a deity and guide a growing population against a rival god. This Sega Genesis conversion of Bullfrog’s influential 1989 computer strategy game replaces direct unit control with terrain shaping, settlement growth, and divine intervention.
Flatten land so followers can build larger homes, generate more manna, and strengthen their civilization. Orders direct the population to settle, gather, fight, or travel toward the Papal Magnet. Progress spans hundreds of named worlds, with stronger opposition and harsher landscapes appearing later.
Controls And Mechanics
- Terrain: Raise or lower ground beneath the cursor to create safe building space or disrupt enemies.
