Personally, I preferred the older game. "Powermonger" just added on
layers of complexity I felt were unnecessary. Although, again, that
might be because I came across it later. Perhaps had I played
"Powermonger" first, I would have been bitching about how stupidly
simplified they'd made "Populous". ;-P

I was disappointed by Powermonger.  It sounded like the strategy game I
had been waiting for, but it turned out to be underwelming.  It's been
so long I'm not entirely sure why I thought I'd like it and why I didn't,
but I think the main problem was a lack of depth.

Can we both agree, though, that "Syndicate" was the better of both
games? ;-)

I might also agree, but Syndicate crashed a lot for me so I never got
far in the game.
