Populous (series)
''Populous'' is a series of video games developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts. The first game in the series, '' Populous'', was released in 1989. At the time, it was hailed as revolutionary, and it coined the term "god game". Gameplay The games involved the player taking on the role of a deity and leading followers into battle against opposing deities, and intervene by using a variety of "divine intervention" that affect the world and indirectly, the people. The first two games were similar. In '' Populous'' and '' Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods'', much emphasis was spent on flattening the terrain. The view of the game-world was isometric. '' Populous: The Beginning'' was more like a conventional war-game than a god-game and uses true 3D instead of isometric 3D. In ''Populous: The Beginning'', the player is set in the role of a shaman instead of a god, but at the end of the game attains godhood. In an interview, the series creator Pete ...

Populous (video Game)
''Populous'' is a video game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts, released originally for the Amiga in 1989, and is regarded by many as the first God game. With over four million copies sold, ''Populous'' is one of the best-selling PC games of all time. The player assumes the role of a deity, who must lead followers through direction, manipulation, and divine intervention, with the goal of eliminating the followers led by the opposite deity. Played from an isometric perspective, the game consists of more than 500 levels, with each level being a piece of land which contains the player's followers and the enemy's followers. The player is tasked with defeating the enemy followers and increasing their own followers' population using a series of divine powers before moving on to the next level. The game was designed by Peter Molyneux, and Bullfrog developed a gameplay prototype via a board game they invented using Lego. The game received critical accl ...

Populus
''Populus'' is a genus of 25–30 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere. English names variously applied to different species include poplar (), aspen, and cottonwood. The western balsam poplar ('' P. trichocarpa'') was the first tree to have its full DNA code determined by DNA sequencing, in 2006. Description The genus has a large genetic diversity, and can grow from tall, with trunks up to in diameter. The bark on young trees is smooth, white to greenish or dark gray, and often has conspicuous lenticels; on old trees, it remains smooth in some species, but becomes rough and deeply fissured in others. The shoots are stout, with (unlike in the related willows) the terminal bud present. The leaves are spirally arranged, and vary in shape from triangular to circular or (rarely) lobed, and with a long petiole; in species in the sections ''Populus'' and ''Aigeiros'', the petioles are laterally flattened, s ...
