Hi folks,
I am >very< interested in the new game Powermonger, but I have been told
that it is a 'followup' {:-)} to Populous. So can I use it with
an 680x0 (with x>=1) or can I install it on my HD etc. ?

Now that I know how to get the guys in the boats, how do I get them to shoot at the enemy from offshore? When When using a catpult, do you manually have to aim it? Or is everything automatic during attacks using catapults? When attacking using a catapult, my men appear to all stay by the catapult. Are they all operating the catapult? Do they decide to make the hand to hand combat attack once they are out of ammo? At what point do they decide to quit using the catapult and start attacking with men? burn?

From what I can tell when attacking with a catapult no all your men are still fighting. It talkes 1 guy to manage each catapult you have. How you can tell is say your captain has the cataplut then camp outside of town and then go to attack town. The army will attack while the captain remains outside the town firing the catapult. (This is a good move anyways because I've found it easier to win combats when your captain stays outside of direct hand-to-hand.). Also since your captain starts with a bow you can always camp outside of town before attacking it and he will fire from a distance.
