Unlock your thrill with EA Play.

Get unlimited access to a collection of EA's top titles, trials of select new games, in-game member rewards, and 10% off EA digital purchases.

Your destiny is to become a god! But it will not be easy.

The world is presented in true 3D, which at the time amazed both the players and the gaming press. The level of control you exert over your followers also takes you to a new level: you can order individuals or groups to perform certain tasks like gathering resources, constructing buildings, or attacking your enemies.

Populous: The Beginning takes a slightly different approach from the previous instalments of the series.

It was a bold move for Bullfrog but the proof exists in the fact that, after all these years Populous 3 is still a great strategy god-game.
