Populous III: Return of the Gods

Populous III: Return of the Gods is the third (technically fifth) game in the Populous series, and the first one in roughly 10 years, Populous DS being the last one made. The game is set to be released January 2018, but specific dates have not yet been revealed at the moment.
==Development==
Cryobyte originally approached EA about Populous, a game series made by Bullfrog Games, which is now part of EA. They quickly made a deal, EA still remaining the publisher of the game. The game started development back in 2011, but was quickly delayed due to higher priority games coming into play. Populous III quickly dissapeared from Cryobyte's main priority list.
Until about 2 years later, when work had then started back on it again, and even early development of the game had started, though it still remained a secondary priority, and was delayed several times due to other games from Cryobyte being pushed out. After time and time of being delayed, Cryobyte set aside a specific team to work on Populous, called "Shaman Studios", an obvious reference to the Shamans in Populous.
Development began, but due to the smaller team it had now, it took 3 years to create the game, but beta testers came in at around the end of 2016, the game being tested to make sure it would be succesful. Beta Tests came out well, and by 2017 a true month had been announced, being January 2018.
==Gameplay==
Populous 3 is far different from the other Populous games. Each player has a shrine, and this shrine is the thing that ends the game, the game ending when one players shrine is destroyed. This shrine is where sacrifices are made and mana is collected. Mana is the main resource in this game, and is used for Godly Powers. Mana is gained by your population of people, meaning the more the people the more the mana. Other resources are: wood, stone, ores, and wheat.
Wood is gained from forests, using lumberjacks to mine the wood. Wood is used to construct buildings, aswell as stone. Stone is found from caves and mined by Miners. Ores are used to create weaponry and more advanced buildings, and wheat is produced by farmers, and is the food source of the humans.
People in this game can be assigned to 6 classes: Lumberjacks, Miners, Farmers, Civilians, Warriors, and Shamans. Civilians are the normal people, yet to be assigned a class, though they still produce mana. Warriors are enlisted at the Training Camp and are your main fighters of your city. Shamans are special classes, and only one can be in play at a time. They give a boost to whoever is fighting and can also use some powers, not as strong as Gods Powers, but still powerful.
Lumberjacks are enlisted by sending Civilians into a Lumber House, and Miners are enlisted by sending civilians to the Refinery. Farmers are enlisted by sending them to Farms. There are many buildings in Populous, some more important then others, but they all have specific uses.
