Black & White 2

[Hellfighter]

i gone window shopping (do to NHQ was down had to go out see what in the real world around me) had no planes on buying any game, but as i was walking around the mall i seen this new story (DVD/Game type store not rental type one) i gone in have a look around came across this game's it was ether FF:X1 or Black & White 2 with a expansion pack

Black & White 2> USD-15.00
Expansion Pack B&W2: Battle of the Gods> USD-7.00
sold me i got them.

basic you a god who trying to help people on a planet to help with their daily life and save them from battles.

lay out is like a risk broad game only you zoom 3D type game in read scrolls and asker people cry for help hand.

not a first person type fighting game, you can have whole army's direct them were to move and fight all so.

i would rate it like 1-5
being 4 really good and the graphic game play is something i have never seen ether. more like a arcade type game

if the game is on and seat on main screen it will have a screen-saver play on, were you see some Movie clip of the game play Intro till you press the key-broad.

you do have four or five main animal charters to point to be their GOD to pray to and to control it action it can be a bad god or a good god count how you train it and treat it.

think it four: loin, Cow, Wolf, Ape. charters for control of.

Rated: Teen
do to: its crude humor, use if alcohol, violence.

i have not once seen any Alcohol ad's play it at all> not beer or wiskey ether for that matter.? i had two people get marry and had kids and a family. i never play that game Sims but in some ways it like that build a city so on like i seen in Sims ads on Tv but this game have war battle cry to it. life and death

Awesome game

[Hellfighter]

will it be nice if it had info on making up charters a PDF file with all the details.

right now i have a bug it making a " discple builder" the good guild don't say anything other then pickup a Disciple builder and put him near a builden on and on and on.......but i can't find one at all or know how to make one up.

right now i am stump

[Scott]

You just pickup anyone in the area and drop them over an un-construced building to create a disiple builder. It won't work if you place them over an already constructed building, you have to place a building frame first.

Are you on land 1? The tutorial land?

Here are some of my cities:

[Hellfighter]

i am on land two right now.

army not as big as your's is

i have like 3-5 units

[Scott]

hehe that's not even half the army I had. I usually built walls to keep anything out from the start then started to build up a huge army and went on a rampage.. it's hard to do that in battle of the gods though. that ones a bit tougher.

[Hellfighter]

Scott check this out seem there are mod makers for B&W2 out there

Forum Link: http://allboards.lionhead.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63

fans i think are making other mods for it.

i signup to Loinhead forum today checking them out right now.

how you like to have them mines last for every ehehe i found some info for that too

Pssssssssss i did not tell you this
Where's the Tiger
The unlocker doesn't change your current creature into a tiger, it gives you the option of picking the tiger on the creature selection at the start of the game. If you've started & want to use the tiger you'll need to start a new game.

For the specific location of the Tiger read this:

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)
the tiger stands by the stone heads behind the 4 standard creatures.

You just have to modify the game balance files.. if you want my modified ones just let me know.. Some of my mods include:

Unlimited Ore from mines
Unliited Food from fields
Unlimited wood
Villagers carry 5,000 worth of goods every trip
18+ people fit into the standard house
Villagers work longer, start working at birth and stop at 80 years, then die right away to reduce clutter
Building Influance ring increased
All Buildings/Miracles only cost 1 Tribute
Miracles only cost 1 mana
Big magic (Siren wonder, volcano etc) charges super fast.

etc

If you haven't built a siren wonder and used it yet do it asap! It's AWESOME lol. Great way to steal the enemy soldiers when there at your gates.

yea that would save me time on doing the math, love to have a copy of your's

[Scott]

I was wrong on some of my things (been a long time) but it's all pretty close. Just a FYI, for the food, ore and wood to be virtually unlimited you have to have a smelter, lumber mill and a grainery with at least one person working each. Fields will regrow food faster then you can use it but there has to be a villager working in them. I made it so production is extremly high with the smelter, lumber mill and grainery etc. After your villagers get ore from the mines they will take it to the smelter, 500 ore into the smelter will come out as about 20,000 ore or something close, same with wood and food.

Your armys will also start out as level 10..
All Buildings/Miracles only cost 1 Tribute
Miracles only cost 10 mana
Mana rebuilds faster
Villagers work longer, start working at birth (18) and stop at 150 years, then die right away to reduce clutter
Building Influance ring increased
Villagers carry 500 worth of goods every trip
18+ people fit into the standard house

For things like the siren wonder, volcano etc they still charge at the normal rate.. my game always crashed when I edited thoes parts of the files.

Backup your files before replacing them...

yea i seen this to night, i set only one guy as a breeder and he was mating with them ladys, what i seen was he did it with a freaking old hag! i would say like she was in her 80s

she jump up with her hands in the air and turning around about like she still have it lol

LMFAO

[Hellfighter]

hey scott i seen this in one of them Snapshot you taken what are they?



one look nullity and the other is some type of wizard tower?

i point them out to see on the image green arrows

[Scott]

Those are the 'wonders' like hurricane, volcano, earthquake and the siren wonder. You have to buy them with tribute and then you drop people over them to create worshipers.. you'll needs lots of worshipers though. it charges up (kind of slow, depending on how many worshipers you have) then you can use them against the enemy.

They all do what the name implies except the siren wonder. When there are lots of enemy troops at your walls then you can use the siren wonder to convert them to your troops. The siren will help you a lot in battle of the gods. That's pretty much how I build most of my army's in that one, and you'll need lots of them.

Your making me want to play this game again lol..

[Hellfighter]

i know what you mean i can't stop playing the fool thing its like i have the bug.

some ways it better then foul playing with some girl lol

i try to play the expansion pack battle of the gods it crash to desktop for some reason. completely exit out of the game as it trying to load the game in. weird i have to see about the updates see if they fix that.

i like the game a lot 4-12hrs play time.

can't zoom in too many of the charters are in a small area screen lag big time. trying to work that out.

scott do you know if any one made a no-cd patch for this?

[Scott]

Sometimes if the game crashes you just have to reboot before playing it again.. as for lag you'll just have to lower the res or get a better grahpics card. My x850xt just bearly made with without much lag. And google for the no cd patch.. there are a few.

[Hellfighter]

i read one has to disable all back ground item like any anti-crash, anti-virus and all items that are running in the back ground close them out totally.

the game is a hog resource type game.

when finsh restart your system it be back to normal.

not for online, lan, type at all for them who don't know. totally for use offline and its is a single player type game.

if your system is a low-end Computer like in a cheap system or a old outdated system you really don't what to buy this at all! its is really a hog resource type game.

you do need a great super graphic (video) card and a lot of RAM toboot 1gb or more.

this would not be a good buy for some one like Chris low ram in his system.

[Hellfighter]

scott i don't know if you kow of this

but there are two updates for the game

Version 1.1 and v 1.2 the 1.2 handle newer Ati video cards better and see what your really using.

--------------------------------

- Added: Lands 1-3 can be skipped by pressing ESC and making the relevant selection.

- Added: A confirmation screen for when you change graphics resolution.

- Changed: Street lights are now visible from further away.

- Changed: Improved the way that the game auto-detects graphics cards.

- Fixed: The Heartbeat sound has been removed.

- Fixed: A crash that would occur from ending a profile name with a space.

- Fixed: Removing USB headphones during gameplay will no longer cause the game to hang.

- Fixed: A crash when dragging a wall template to another wall tower, while it was being deleted.

- Fixed: The Good Advisor blocking the Land 1 tutorial videos.

- Fixed: A rare crash that occurred when a road blueprint rapidly changes height while creating a new spline point.

- Fixed: A hang that would occur on Land 3 if the Creature Teach menu is used to prematurely teach your creature whether to eat or not, during the Creature Tutorial.
