You need to vary it, but I like to go in this order:
One rock over the village to get their attention. "Eyes to the skies, peasants, shit's about to get real."
One FLOCK OF BIRDFACES (One of the best belief-harvesting miracles). This makes a good starter, and usually gets you a ton of belief to start you off.
One Artifact tossed over the village. Another big starter. Make sure to recover it.
One of each resource spell. Usually not too good but better than having to do the last step and/or come back later.
One healing, one of each shield (cast then recall), one forest (cast then recall). These are our final heavy-hitting belief-generating miracles.
One fireball above them (not into them, it's pointless to kill a bunch of them and make them start mourning). Semifinal step.
One storm, their final warning. Leave it running during the next step if you have to do the next step.
One lightning flash. Things under the storm are best because they'll be harmed but extinguished.
Water miracle for anyone you set on fire who lasts long enough for it to recognize your gesture. If you have a Miracle Packager (5 or 6 scaffolds?) you can keep the water miracle on hand for right after you cast it
Heal the people who are heavily damaged survivors of that last attack. They've earned it.

Wow.. I just exterminated each town and moved my own people in then set all of the initial population to breeders and gave them a bunch of food.

Too much micromanaging and rebuilding for me to like that answer. :I

Wiping them out and dropping your own people in is too much micro, but you're willing to go through that list you just posted?

Okay..?

I don't really see the point in hurling artifacts over their heads.  Artifacts give a major belief boost if they come to a full stop within the town's limits, but not while they're flying overhead.  Then it's essentially just a glorified rock.

I try to hurl them into the town (if it's outside my influence) so that they come to rest right in the middle of all the action.  Then you've got a bunch of people to witness the full glory of The Shiny Stone doing its thing.  Watch it some time, just toss an artifact into a town...  You'll get a standard whoosh of belief from having the large objects fly over their heads, but then once it stops and "settles" you'll see a much larger rush of belief just pop up.


Oh, and if you want to have your cake and eat it too...  Cast a shield miracle over them and then attack it.  They'll be impressed by your display of wrath, and also by the fact that you're protecting them from such godly retribution.


And yes, wiping them out and dropping in your own people is too much micro.  With that list of miracles you can immediately bring over a town of 100+ people, and they're all ready and willing to serve you.  Getting that many people through breeders will either mean a huge stock of breeders (which also means a heavy population hit to your other towns), or a very long time spent doing nothing but woo-hoo-hoo.  Also, you'll need to bring over each individual peasant one by one.

Of course, it's still a viable option if you've got some chemical warfare going on (toadstools), but other methods are generally a little too destructive of the buildings to be worth it (except for summoning a pack of wolves, which is also great fun).

I guess I just enjoyed wiping the little heathens out so much I didn't notice how much work it was.

[Pandarsenic]

Wiping them out is both easy and great fun.

Stabilizing the village once you own it is a pain in the ass.

Man...  The last time I tried to play this game it would always crash on the opening cutscene after plucking the kid out of the water... And that was when I was using XP, I'm even more doubtful to if it would run on Windows 7...

Edit:  Never mind, it's working fine now.  I just need to figure out why the only creatures I can see at the start are the ape, cow, and tiger...

SUUUUPER NECRO. Since I am home for winter break, I went ahead and reinstalled this gem. Would anyone like to play a multiplayer game with me at some point in the next 4 weeks? Timezone does not matter, I will stay up to 4AM if it means I get to play this amazing game with another person.

[Moogie]

I was waaaaay into the online stuff back when the official servers were up. As much as I miss it, it's a lot of work just to mess around in nostalgiaville for a while...

Mmmnneehh... trying to convince myself. Your avatar is making me feel guilty. I'll think about it. I don't have my old wolfie backup anymore, I'd have to train one up again from scratch. :/

[Mono124]

Yeeessshhhh goood.... feel the guilt flow from my avatar to you...

In a more serious note, I have also lost my creature... which sucks. I feel your pain.

[Argonnek]

Heeeeyyyyyy. I'm wondering if anyone with more experience with such things could answer this:

I've recently installed this game onto my computer (Windows 7 SP 1, 64-bit), but every time I try to get it to run, it doesn't. I'll see the "loading something into memory" light go on, and then nothing. The process terminates without even an error message to tell me what happened. Can anyone else get it running?

[forsaken1111]

Holy necropost batman. These are always fun to explore a few years later though.

I have nothing useful to add regarding your problem, I haven't touched this game in 4-5 years

[Akura]

Huh, I wonder if they'll ever reboot/remake this game with VR support. The original had something, but it required a peripheral that didn't really have a lot of support.

I've been waiting on a good god game. So far none of the attempts have looked all that promising.
