Play Populous Ii - Trials Of The Olympian Gods (europe) Online

Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods came out for the Super Nintendo in 1993, developed by Bullfrog and published by Imagineer in Europe. It was part of that wave of strategy games that tried to do something different on a console better known for platformers and RPGs.

You play as a god, looking down on a world from above. Your main goal is to guide your followers, making the land habitable for them while wiping out the followers of a rival deity. You don't control people directly; instead, you reshape the terrain, raise or lower land to create livable space, and cast spells like earthquakes or swamps to harass the enemy. The game plays out in a series of isolated, screen-by-screen worlds, and your power grows as your population does. It's a slow, deliberate game that demands patience, as you carefully manipulate the landscape to gain an advantage. The feeling is one of immense, indirect power, watching your influence slowly spread across the map.
