PalmPulus is a REAL TIME strategy game in which you fight against up to three computer players for control of a land. You must guide your people against the people of the computer players.

Your first task in PalmPulus is to provide your people with free land. Then, order them to settle and they start to build new houses. As your population increases, you will have to ask your people to conquer new territories and strenghen their positions. Finally, unless you suffer from severe defeats, you can lead your people against the other people, wipe them out and win the mission...

All actions in PalmPulus need 'mana'. Your mana will slowly grow all the time. The more and stronger people you have, the more mana you will gain. When you have enough mana you can disturb the doings of the other players with spells like destroying the nourishing grass, planting palm trees, placing stones or raising mountains.

PalmPulus works on black & white, grayscaled and color enabled devices.

The program itself requires ONLY 81 KB of memory space on your device.

The features of PalmPulus include:
- Multiple skill levels
- Variable map sizes
- Challenging computer opponents
- Comes with detailed help file, a step by step tutorial for first time players and even ONBOARD Help (34 KB needed on device)

PalmPulus is Palm OS 5 compliant and Palm OS 6 ready.

Version 3.0 (11/03/04) Update Description:
- grass has been split into 2 successive status: grass and then wheat. The buildings start to develop only at the wheat stage. The game became much more challenging with this change!
- added a 3rd computer player, only available on color enabled devices
- added a new sand ground type, which is unfertile ground that needs to be turned to fertile soil by your people
- the Grass Spell was changed to Sand Spell and it puts some unfertile sand squares now instead of just removing random grass or the new wheat squares
- upgraded the artificial intelligence of computer players so as to get them to be a little bit smarter
- added a High Score table to help you track your progress and your luck over time!
- spells buttons are shown only when the mana level has reached the level required to cast a given spell
- removed the onboard help because it was a huge pain to maintain both this documentation abstract software and the full PDF help documentation (also because many users told me that they never installed nor did they refer to this onboard help program!)

Version 2.0 Update Description:
- people (that is peasants, soldiers and knights) are now animated, you know which direction they are going to
- more realistic move switch of people: for example a peasant initially moving East will not switch directly to West, he will first move North or South, unless he was told to do so for a specific action like move to flag or attack. This avoids people from moving back and forth in a small area!
- new zoom map layout, allowing to see 16 x 10 cells in addition to the standard 8 x 5 cells layout and the full zoomed map
- PalmPulus can now launch directly the PalmPulus on board Help program and, vice versa, you can directly go back in your PalmPulus game from the PalmPulus on board Help and launch PalmPulus from the on board help
- merged the black & white and color versions for easier install on any device
