They will be displayed as figures standing around the close-in map. Any of them can be assigned to different tasks, so while one captain is having his people inventing something, the other ones can command their followers to collect food or to attack the enemy.
Now that I have hopefully given you an useful overview on the most important aspects and functions within the game, I will continue by outlining the technical issues Powermonger is offering.
As Powermonger is a very deep-going game, providing many ways to develop strategies, you will notice soon, that its gameplay can be extremely addictive. You could literally replay the maps forever and still get play value from them. Unfortunately, there are no difficulty levels to be set for the game, but after having played it several times you will gain a feel for what processes and tactics are necessary to enable a good approach on the challenge.
In general, the handling of this game is pretty comfortable. The interface is laid out clearly and there are no disturbing menues to bother with. The VGA graphics are nicely done and satisfy due to the numerous and lovely details, although the graphical elements tend to appear relatively pixeled.
You can enjoy music only during the start-up screen, the rest of the game is merely synchronized by digital sound effects. These are quite well done, but you might want to turn them off after a while since they tend to become a little annoying, depending on your taste. For your convenience, the manual for this game is available for download, too, so if you should encounter any problems you could use it for troubleshooting.
Finally, it is time to sum up my opinion about Powermonger. Although this game has aged a little, I can clearly remember how much fun it was playing it back then, on my Amiga. The reason why I give the game only a 4 is because I think, that the graphical details on the maps are sometimes a little rough and furthermore I would have loved to listen to some in-game music and slightly better sound effects.
But let me assure you, Powermonger still is a milestone of strategy computer game history. Gamers who have already got in touch with Populous or Mega-Lo-Mania, which are rather similar in structure, will certainly love this one. Even if you have never heard of those games, Powermonger is a strategy experience you will not regret, except you miss it!

Having done so, you may then select from 3 levels of aggression or posture , pick your destination, launch your attack and observe the resulting battle. A defeated captain will be directly under your command and may subsequently lead an independent body of followers to further your regime, although orders are sent via pigeon, so take some time to be carried out.
Physical opponents aside, continually changing weather may wildly alter your intended course of action, or even render plans completely useless, try mounting an attack during the winter and watch the driving snow discourage your armies to the point of desertion! For example, any attempt to attack from either an open plain or the top of a hill will see your chances of success decrease, as the enemy will have observed your intentions and preplanned defences. Alternatively, attacking from the cover of a forest or the brow of a hill increases your chances of success due to your having the element of surprise!
The complexity involved in producing the fully manipulate polygon landscapes that make up Powermonger's areas, must be regarded as an achievement. The zoom and rotate facilities are not only excellently implemented, but add an extra twist, allowing full views of each game aspect, geographical and otherwise. Icon control is easily learned, although mastering the game itself will take considerably longer.
