Similar to the "knight" effect in Populous, each effect category includes a " hero", allowing the player to transform his or her leader into one of six legendary figures in Greek mythology who will wander around the map attacking enemies or perform some other nefarious act. Use of a power will deplete a set amount of manna and repeated use of the more devastating powers will empty the manna reservoir. Manna is generated by population existing over time - the larger the population, the more manna is generated. The six categories are linked to a global "manna meter" which needs to be filled to a certain level to enable specific powers for usage. These are sub-divided into six categories of effect: earth, water, wind, fire, plants and people.
