beating Populous
I have been stuck at World 492 BILYDOR for some time. I am wondering if anyone has tips on beating this level?

Will try and report afterwards if succeeded.. Just on a side-note, did you really play all 491 levels through?

When you beat a stage, it skips to a higher one based on how well you played. So no, I didn't play all previous 491 levels, but I did play all the levels the game offered me. I was able to locate the mana counter, which I modified to beat certain cases. |

Tried some higher levels, but this game is harder than I thought. It's still one of those games where the game mechanics are not 100% clear, even after reading the manual. Still fun tho!

Thanks for trying. I think Level 486 SWAKOPPAL is where my troubles began. See if you can beat that as well.

Nope. Been meaning to try the level again. I had a problem where I finished the level and should have won, but for some reason (maybe the stuck mana counter) resulted with a loss.

I tried beating BILYDOR level again, but no luck. I resumed from WinUAE saved state and despite having more battle wins than the enemy I lost. This happened twice.
I then resumed another save state and jumped to BILYDOR, but couldn't win more battles to see if the other save state was faulty. Need to take a break as the mouse clicking isn't good for the hand. |
