had to cut this one in 5 parts for Dtube

i love those fireball shooting jerks, nothing gets close if you have enough of them

this time Playing Populous The Beginning
https://www.gog.com/game/populous_the_beginning
Works on Win 10, and Multiplayer is still a thing, the guys from
Populous: Reincarnated
https://www.popre.net/index.php
keep the Game / Multiplayer alive and there are some Livestreams
the game just needs a little love ( most people complain that it just doesn't work..they probably didn't even try to fix it)
to get it working on win 10,i just did what "ThanosRD" explains in the Comment section on the GOG-Site
i dont want this info to get lost in time so ill Copy it here for everybody else

First of all, I want to address all the things that people say about the game not working. The game works perfectly but you have to make some tweaks which are EASY:

+++Game will crash upon launch on almost all occasions because it tries to launch the Direct3D version of it which has issues. You can bypass that by changing D3DPopTB.exe in the shortcut target to popTB.exe.
Software renderer works, as is the Direct3D IF you do those small tweaks (check below)
While played in software renderer saves the resolution, when played via Direct3D does not and you have to manually set it every time. There is a fix for that too.
+++Game can go above 800x600 if you go to its shortcut properties and right after the last " of its target you type -allres (So it looks like this: "E:GoGPopulous - The BeginningD3DPopTB.exe" -allres)

The fixes:
1.+++Go to the Compatibility settings of your shortcut, click "Change settings for all users" and uncheck everything

+++While in the Compatibility settings tab, check Compatibility mode and choose Windows XP SP2 and "Run this program as an as admin" - Those steps ensure that software renderer runs OK. (that is the PopTB.exe). If you want to use the Direct3D version (D3DPopTB.exe) you have to do some additional tweaks.
Download dgVoodoo v2.53 or newer from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html (it is a safe site and needed for lots of older games) - Unzip the file and copy everything from its MS folder into the game's main folder. Also copy dgVoodooSetup.exe there and run it - Click on the . button at the top right. Then on the General tab select your adapter from the list of "adapters to use". In the DirectX tab, select GeForce4 Ti 4800 and click Apply. Run the D3DPopTB.exe and check if it works. - +++To set a fixed resolution without needing to re-apply it in every launch, download and run Resolution Changer from https://www.popre.net/downloads.php. Best res so far for me is 1280x720 on a 24" monitor

what i did is marked with "+++" in my case i didn't do the voodoo thing,and of course the Install folder will be different for everybody so dont just copy his ""E:GoGPopulous - The BeginningD3DPopTB.exe" -allres", just to make that clear xD

as for the resolution, im using a 27" screen and i dont get the "odd graphic glitches" ingame if i use 1600x900
and you'll see what i mean by "odd graphic glitches", if your resolution is too high once you play

and for the Patches, the Expansion + extra Maps, world editor, resolution changer you find all that on
