Let's Play Populous: The Beginning - 19. Unlikely Allies
Oh, the irony! The Dakini have grown far too powerful in this world shared with the Chumara, and when I arrived, the Chumara shaman immediately came to ask me for aid in removing the Dakini, promising me the planet's (meagre, it must be said) mana supply if it meant removing the Dakini threat. I imagine their ancestral hatred against the Dakini is stronger than their farsightedness, because with over half of the solar system under my control, continuing to ignore the larger threat in favor of a grudge match is foolish in the extreme. But I will indulge them, and watch my back in case they are trying to pull any of their Chumara tricks.
I feel like my leadership should be on display. Those who do not die will instead be converted by my twelve chosen preachers. I must keep them in line, though, and show the Chumara how I do things by staying near my followers at all times when orders are sent out. Lastly I will have to form an attacking base quickly: this world's magic is best harvested quickly, and even the trees have been warped by the magic.
~Thread Challenges~
*Follow Me, and I Will Make You Fishers of Men (Hob_Gadling): Have twelve preachers on the field at the same time.
*Can You Hear Me Now? (berryjon): Orders can only be given to units if they are in the 'line of sight' (or on the screen with) of the shaman.
*Technological Stagnation (Zore): You have five minutes to build up a base. After that you cannot build any new structures and must win with what you have.
