Help me remember this old PC game.

It's been driving me mad. I can't remember if it's any good or not, I played it about 6 years ago. It's an RTS were you control a guy with a mask, which looks time something off a totem pole. I remember your dude could create natural disasters like volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes etc when you had enough mana (I think it was mana).

Sorry for the lack of info, it's all I can remember. I'm guessing it came out around late 90s.

Any ideas?

Sounds more like an RPG if you control just the one guy?

Definitely an RTS. I can't remember if you could control other people, but I remember you could build houses and such. The aim was typical of an RTS; build up your village and destroy the other persons.

Nah that wasn't it. The person you control was actually a person with a mask, not a hand or a creature.

Powermonger ? (or populus?)

Populous : The Beginning

I loved this game, the way the little guys used to talk was brilliant. I wonder if there is a mac version?
