PowerMonger drops you into a leaderless world of farmers, shepherds, merchants, and thieves, each going about their own lives on a procedurally ticking simulation. Your job is to unite territory after territory under your banner, through diplomacy or outright war, while managing food stores through changing seasons because hungry soldiers simply refuse orders. Bullfrog's 1990 follow-up to Populous trades divine omnipotence for grounded logistics, a real-time strategy game where the living world pushes back against your plans.
