Populous 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods
0 plays 1993 #Strategy
Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods is a strategy video game and the sequel to the 1990 game Populous. It was developed by Bullfrog Productions for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS and published by Electronic Arts in 1991. A Mega Drive version, converted by PanelComp, was published as Two Tribes: Populous II in 1993 by Virgin Games.
Like its predecessor, Populous II is a god game, where the player is guiding their people in battle against the followers of an enemy god. Whereas Populous only generally alluded to undefined deities, Populous II is specifically set under the backdrop of Greek mythology. The player is a demigod, one of Zeus's countless children with mortal women, and has to battle one Greek deity at a time until finally facing his father. Zeus has promised to let the player into the Pantheon on Olympus if he can survive all the battles.
A data disk was released as Populous II: The Challenge Games. It was set in Japanese mythology instead of Greek
