- I like the whole Populous series.
- I also don't see how to objectively compare PTB and WZ. Very different game types. It's like comparing pineapples and
honey dew melons... Some folk like one or the other better or both equally. PTB is an unusual hybrid of strategy and the
"god game" genre that designer Peter Molyneux invented. There is no formal resource management in PTB. The whole
Populous series has been hugely successful in sales and have also collected quite a few accolades and awards since
1989. This game also influenced Peter Molyneux development of Black & White (2001) and even as late as November 2008
it is rooted in the Powermonger game for the Ninetendo DS... That's 20 years of multiple successful incarnations & influence
on mutiple platforms (PCs, Consoles, hand-helds) and, OSs .. So many reasons why comparing these games doesn't work for me.

Well, i must confess: After reading your very detailed text, i very much agree.
Forgot to compare it the way you do. But okay, thanks for your reply.
