Populous: The Beginning

 * previous FAC

(self) I addressed the concerns from last time, but the reviewers didn't show up... so I'm renom'ing. David Fuchs ( talk ) 13:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I own this game and I stubled over this piece of text:
 * Oppose

"The game has no formal resource management; new units are created at houses, and training new warriors costs no type of resource. Only wood from trees is required to build new structures."

Training warriors costs mana as far as I know and mana is created by followers residing in houses. I would like to have this double checked. Regards, Daimanta 00:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe you are mistaken. The number of followers in general funnels into the amount of mana your shaman has, but at any time you can create any type of fighter. I've double-checked the manual, and I see nothing to the contrary. David Fuchs ( talk  ) 18:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I looked it in further and I have found some (weak evidence)

"This building takes any follower type (except Warrior) and makes them a Warrior. This process uses mana, and proceeds fastest whent[sic] the spell charge bar is full."

I believe I have read that training units costs mana in the game itself(probably level one), so you might want to take a look into either the tutorial or the first levels of Pop:TB. Regards, Daimanta 18:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've changed the sentence slightly. David Fuchs ( talk  ) 19:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Support: Very well, the rest of the article is fine with me. You have my support. Regards, Daimanta 19:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Support: Concise, informative, well-referenced, NPOV - great article (and milestone game). Can't believe this is the same article I created amateurishly over three years ago - User:David Fuchs has done an excellent job. -Kez 18:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support well written and well sourced. Good job!  Mi re ma re  21:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - I'd like to see "PC" linked in the infobox (as "PS" is), but that's all. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 07:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
