Populous was its own beast, a god sim separate from the traditional RTS, city-building, and 4x games. It pretty much died with its third installment, Populous: The Beginning. That one was more of a traditional RTS with revolutionary polygynal models and play area, albeit with stripped down unit variety. Underrated, really.
While it didn't really have inspiration, it did have spiritual successors with the Black and White games after EA bought its publisher: Bullfrog.
Fucking EA. Ruining studios left and right.
