There are 4 angles in Populous: 3 main angles and worldview.

You need to decide on which of the 3 angles you want to play with - and you need to learn if you will be an active worldview player or not. This is very personal and changes from player to player.

Still, the most common angle is the Angle 2, and after that, the Angle 3 - the Angle 1 is considered by many as a really bad angle, since you don't see much of the map. You can change between all 4 angles using the keys " ' " or " « ".

If you only want to change between your favourite angle and worldview usage, just press ENTER or SHIFT+ENTER for a faster worldview.
