Looks like Guide was originally unable to speak.

Old Khazar Death#

Prototype

Final

Nemesis: "Lethys, my ally. You have failed me. I, Nemesis, have arrived to take control."
Nemesis: "But I will not let them threaten my destiny."
Nemesis: "I will be the only god."
Nemesis: "Khazar. You have defied me for the last time."
Khazar: "Nemesis. No! "
Khazar: "I'm losing my…"
Blackey: "I can't believe it. Khazar wiped out like a bug! "
Nemesis: "Creature, you have something for me."
Whitey: "Oh no! Khazar's Creature! "
Nemesis: "Lethys, use your Creature to bring the Creed to me."
Blackey: "He's taken the Creed from Khazar's Creature!"
Whitey: "So this is what the Guide meant!"
Nemesis: "I will be the only god."
Nemesis: "Did you think you could hide the Creed from me?"
Nemesis: "Lethys, retrieve the Creed for me."
Lethys: "As always, I will do as you command. I'll send my Creature for it now."
Blackey: "He's got an element of the Creed!"
Whitey: "Does this mean all is lost? I fear it does!"
Whitey: "That must have been the Creed the Guide was talking about!"
Blackey: "And we lost it."
Whitey: "Maybe we haven't lost it forever, Demon."
Blackey: "I hope you're right, Beardy."
Nemesis: "Lethys, my ally. You have failed me. I, Nemesis, have arrived to take control."
Nemesis: "But I will not let them threaten my destiny."
Nemesis: "I will be the only god."
Nemesis: "Khazar. You have defied me for the last time."
Khazar: "Nemesis. No!"
Nemesis: "Khazar, I know your Creature hides a part of the Creed inside him."
Nemesis: "I do not need it. I already have the power that three combined Creeds brings."
Nemesis: "And I will use it to destroy you."
Nemesis: "Lethys. Retrieve the Creed from Khazar's dead Creature. It must not fall into our enemy's hands."
Lethys: "As always, I will do as you command. I'll send my Creature for it now."
Blackey: "He's got an element of the Creed!"
Whitey: "Does this mean all is lost? I fear it does!"
Blackey: "I can't believe it. Khazar wiped out like a bug!"
Whitey: "I understand what the old Guide meant, now."
Whitey: "The power of three Creeds must be combined."
Blackey: "But Nemesis said he has three Creeds."
Whitey: "Yes. But he's after the others to stop us getting them."
Blackey: "We've got to get them, then!"
Whitey: "Absolutely!"

Old Lethys' dialogue#

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_GOOD_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_L3_FREE_CREATURE_01", "He's free! We've saved him!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_L3_FREE_CREATURE_02", "Boy, we had to fight for it, though.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_L3_FREE_CREATURE_03", "Laetes, you were as pathetic as my supposed followers!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_L3_FREE_CREATURE_04", "Take your punishment.")

Here Lethys refers to his own creature by name, and punishes him by some way.

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_01", "Yet again you're too strong for me! I beg for mercy!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_02", "Please spare me. I have only one Village left. I will give you Khazar's Creature's Creed.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_03", "I'll give you the part of the Creed I took from Khazar's Creature if you'll let me survive.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_04", "And wait! I know a land where you can find another Creed element!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_05", "It's where you started. And the Creed lies within the body of the Creature you befriended.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_06", "I'll open a Vortex to take you there. But spare me. Let me go.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_LETHYS, "HELP_TEXT_LETHYS_SPEAKS2_07", "No! Without followers I cannot exist!")

Alternate version of Lethys' surrender. Notably, he mentions here that the Creed was inside the Guide. In the final game, he just says that it is located in our old homeland.

Old Nemesis' dialogue#

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_01", "Retreat, Ichor. The Village is falling.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_02", "You have failed me many times, Ichor. There can only be one more chance for you.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_GOOD_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_03", "Nemesis is giving up the fight for the final Village!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_04", "Look. His Creature's retreated to defend the mountain.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_GOOD_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_05", "But we'll have to deal with that lethal black cloud before we can get our Creature close enough to attack.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_06", "We'll have to find a way of moving the cloud to let our Creature get past it.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_07", "The fight's brewing!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_08", "We're winning! I don't believe it!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_09", "We lost. Incredible disgust oozes form my every pore.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_GOOD_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_10", "Ugh. We can try again when our Creature has recovered somewhat.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_GOOD_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_11", "We won! Nemesis' Creature is beaten! Victory!")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_12", "Yep. Was there any doubt? It was down to me, after all.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_13", "You failed me for the last time, beast. My revenge will not be denied.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_EVIL_SPIRIT, "HELP_TEXT_THE_BIG_FIGHT_16", "Hey, Boss. We're strong enough. Fight past Nemesis' Creature to get to that Mountain.")

Judging by this dialogue, there was supposed to be another fight with the Nemesis' creature, called Ichor, possibly replaced with the mirror creature in the final game. After this fight, Ichor would retreat to defend the mountain, and there also was some kind of a "black lethal cloud".

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_01", "Our battle gets ever more fierce.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_02", "And you are proving a worthy opponent.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_03", "But you are too evil. People will always respond to good.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_04", "You may be a god but ruling by fear is never right.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_05", "You will never truly have the spirit of the people on your side.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_06", "But your goodness is your weakness. People demand strength.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_07", "They understand force. They know pain.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_08", "You will never have true believers without fear.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS_09", "So do your worst and do your best. You can't win.")

Nemesis explaining why did we lost, which depends on the Player's alignment.

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_02", "Good. Creatures always let you down. I despise them.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_03", "I have one Temple left. Will you sacrifice your Creature for it?")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_04", "You have the three parts of the Creed.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_05", "To use this, the greatest of Miracles, you must send him up the Mountain.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_06", "To his death.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEMESIS_SPEAKS3_07", "Is victory really worth that?")

Speech that Nemesis' would have said at the end of the game.

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_01", "Before I banish you to the void I will tell you how close you came to becoming the ultimate god.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_02", "Had you sent both Creeds and your Creature to the volcano in my realm you would have triggered Eternity.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_03", "The power you'd have unleashed would have burned your worship into the minds of every human.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_04", "When the three Creeds of the same alignment, be they black or white, meet there, they fuse.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_05", "And an Eternity of ultimate power as the only god is the result.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_06", "I cursed your Creature to change his alignment.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_07", "To make him similar to me instead of you.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_08", "You have two of the Creeds and with the third inside your Creature,")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_09", "You would have had Eternity in your hand.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_10", "But I have proved too powerful.")
ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NEMESIS, "HELP_TEXT_NEW_L5_NEMESIS_EXPLAINS_CREED_11", "I have stopped you, changed your Creature and now it is over.")

Nemesis' possible victory speech, where he explain the Creeds.

Villages#

African tribe#

African tribe is mentioned quite a lot in the game files. Well, actually, it's used in game, but appears only in skirmish mode and uses textures of Aztec villagers, Egyptian buildings and even Celt worshipping music. It was most likely planned to be a full tribe, but left partially unused, using placeholder textures and music.

Soccer field#

Remember that soccer field that you can unlock with an add-on and eight scaffoldings? It originally was already in-game and required six scaffoldings. And moreover, it had a use - satisfy play desire.

Temple#

In Info6.txt you can see a lot of mentions of the Temple building. It's definitely not the one we have currently, as it is called Citadel internally, and it also has a variant for each tribe. Nothing else is known about this building.

Windmill#

ABODE_TYPE_WINDMILL 10

Unused (most likely civic) windmill building.

Old Wonders' mechanic#

Originally, wonders only could be built if your people had no desires, indicating by their new wonder desire. Most likely was removed because it was nearly impossible to satisfy all their needs, especially as evil.

Desires around Village Center#

ADD_TEXT( 1, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_NONE, "HELP_TEXT_QUESTION_ABODE_INFO_TOWN_CENTRE_04", "The flags around the Village Center indicate the desires of the people.")

Desires were originally located near the Village Centre.

Three abode ranks#

As we know, there's two abode ranks: small and large. But if you look into Info4.txt, you can see that there were three: shack, tent and hut.

Multiple food types#

DETAIL_FOOD_TYPE    Value
FOOD_NONE   0
FOOD_MEAT   1
FOOD_VEGETABLE  2
FOOD_GRAZE  4
FOOD_ANY    3
FOOD_MEAT_VEGETABLE 3
FOOD_VEGETABLE_GRAZE    6

Whatever food you use, be it fish or meat, it always looks like grain, and it's quite weird. Looks like developers originally planned to make food different. Strangely, there is no fish.

Multiple field types#

FIELD_INFO_TYPE_CORN_WITH_FENCE 3
FIELD_INFO_TYPE_CEREAL  4
FIELD_INFO_TYPE_CEREAL_WITH_FENCE   5

Multiple types for fields. In the actual game, there are only wheat fields.

Villagers#

Looks like you needed to feed builders.

A LOT more desires. Desires for playtime, repair, rain, sun, relaxation, sleep and wonder are all unused.

Disciples#

VILLAGER_DISCIPLE_PROTECTION  6
VILLAGER_JOB_SHEPHERD   4
VILLAGER_JOB_LEADER 5
VILLAGER_JOB_HOUSEWIFE  6

Unused disciples:

  • Protector was most likely used to protect the village from hazards, like wolves.
  • Shepherd is actually used, but only partially, as it has no icon and cannot be given to a villager manually. It raises and butchers animals.
  • Leader is the most mysterious one, as nothing is known of it besides that it was used to lead a village.
  • Housewife was used to do all the house work, likely was replaced by breeder.

Worshippers self-feeding#

Judging by what stages villagers can have, worshippers originally could feed themselves.

Quests#

Sacrificing the Invincible guy#

ADD_TEXT( 0, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_MAN, "HELP_TEXT_THROW_BLOKE_51", "Clever. Sacrificing me is the only way I can die.")
ADD_TEXT( 0, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_MAN, "HELP_TEXT_THROW_BLOKE_52", "Please don't do it. Throw me around some more.")
ADD_TEXT( 0, HELP_TEXT_NARRATOR_MAN, "HELP_TEXT_THROW_BLOKE_53", "Argh! As I die, my power is yours!")
