Black & White 2 combines distinctly different gaming genres into one game. You will construct sophisticated cities, raise armies and lead them into battle, and if that weren't enough, you get to interact with your giant creature, a sort of virtual pet that can also serve as your enforcer. There's so much in Black & White 2 that it's amazing it all blends together like it does. Though, it does go a bit overboard in some areas at times. Black & White 2 is considered a god game because you play, well, a god. Specifically, you happen to be god for the Greeks, though that's not to say that you're a Zeus or a Hera or one from the traditional pantheon. The setting is in a fantasy world that happens to be occupied by the Greeks, the Norsemen, the Japanese, and the Aztecs. The Aztecs begin the game by sacking the Grecian capital, but not before you manage to spirit away a handful of survivors to a faraway land to begin anew. This story is a huge improvement over the first game, because it offers a cause to see to the end, as well as a focused enemy to take down.
Let's go through a few things before we start; * I'll guide you as much as possible and how to do something good or bad, but by all means, please experiment yourself. * Be sure to get at least the first patch. It'll solve some problems, and allow you to skip the tutorial (not recommended). The path is here - http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/BW2/BW2Patch1_1.exe * Even though only the limited edition of the game was suppose to have a tiger, EA messed up, and you'll be able to find it with Google without too much of a problem. * If you plan to be good, you need to get a lot of influence. I quote a mail I got from James Frizell, with some tactics on how to get this done pretty fast;
1. Town layout is worth a lot of impress points.
A. Build roads going straight away from your main town center, and follow the perimeter of influence to connect them into pie shaped sections. B. Line the roads with houses, leaving a gap for a road to get into the center. C. Place impressive buildings inside pie shapes, and fill odd areas with whatever you can, linking it with road. You'll get a heck of a lot more influence, and I beat levels in half the time using impressiveness
2. Trees can increase impressiveness.
A. Leave some large areas big enough for trees. B. Place trees in there for a free 20 impressiveness points. If you do this throughout the town the points can really add up, especially when you place meadows in those areas (since nothing else can fit anyways).
3. Watering certain trees can make them grow into forests.
A. Use the water miracle on trees that aren't being used for impressiveness (trees won't grow otherwise). B. If this does not work try moving the trees to a very fertile area. This will essentially make your wood supply only as limited as your mana is.
4. Nurseries increase productivity.
A. Place these at the end of the roads in your "Pie" shapes, to spread the influence to many houses at once. B. Don't waste space placing these inside the pies, as your city will most likely spread out beyond your first "pie" row and the influence will be spread better. Children follow their parents behind and slow them down while they work. Build these every so often if you need faster workers in your land.
5. Creature poo and dead bodies fertilise fields.
Place the "poo" or body in the field and shortly afterward (much shorter if you had left them anywhere else) they will disappear into the ground.
6. Do not build Manors or Mansions for housing until you have the smelter.
Smelters increase ore by a large amount. I've found that I had no ore when I needed it when I started using these as my main source of housing in the beginning. * When you get attacked by an earthquake miracle, use the hand force skill to stop it. * If the enemy decides to attack with catapults, you can catch the rocks and keep them for yourself, or throw them back (depends on your alignment).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 1 [BW.03.02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objectives: * Quite a lot, just follow the instructions Bronze Scrolls: * Learn how to move objects * Assign villagers Silver Scrolls: * Help the farmer with the rock * Unblock the waterfall * Rescue the villagers in the valley
Main Objectives ---------------
After watching the intro movie, you'll be introduced to your conscience. Good and evil, as you probably know. They'll talk a bit, and then introduce you to the creatures. It's time to pick the creature you want to use for the rest of the game.
If you have the limited edition of the game, you'll be able to select the tiger (next to the monkey, lion, wolf and cow). However, EA left the unlocker on their FTP, and everyone was able to get it. Google for a "tiger unlocker" to find one. It's not big at all, and it's an easy way to get a tiger (it's your own fault, EA).
Once you selected a creature (by left clicking on it twice), you'll be able to do a tutorial, or simply skip it (if you have patch 1, at least). I suggest to do it, because you'll get quite some tribute for this.
The first thing you'll learn, is how to move the camera. To do this, use the right mouse button, and drag the mouse left or right. After that, you'll need to move the camera forth and back. Nothing hard there.
It's time to move the camera around. Hold your middle mouse button, and move right. Once that is done, you need to pan up or down. Click the middle mouse button in the highlighted area, and move up with the mouse. After that, you need to... yes... down.
Zooming in and out can be done with the mouse wheel. Now you know how to move around, and the most annoying part is done.
The good and bad guy will tell you the use of scrolls; bronze are tutorials, silver are side-quests and gold scrolls are main quests. Double click with your right mouse button near the bronze scroll to zoom in. Then left click to select it.
*Bronze* You need to move the rocks out of the circle, by picking them up with your left mouse button, holding it, and moving them away. Nothing hard. (1000 tribute reward)
*Bronze* Next to the last scroll, is another tutorial. You need to pick a villager up, and give them an assignment. Pick the guy up, and make him a breeder. Make the other guys a farmer, forester and builder. (1000 tribute reward)
Now click on the gold scroll to leave (or do the extra stuff first).
Extra -----
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Zoom out, and find a silver scroll near a big rock. Goal: The guy needs the rock removed. Reward: 5000 tribute Solution: Good - Move the rock away Bad - Drop the rock on the villager
Type: Silver Scroll Location: On a little isle. Goal: Unblock the waterfall by throwing rocks at it. Reward: 5000 tribute Solution: Throw rocks, until you hit the rocks on the waterfall. This will unblock the waterfall.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Next to the waterfall. Goal: Place some villagers from one valley to the other. Reward: 1000 tribute Solution: Good - Move them into the village Bad - Throw them away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 2 [BW.03.03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to learn about war (yes, it's needed). Your land is under attack by Aztec scum. You'll first save 10 villagers. After that, it's time to counter attack a bit.
Remove the guard fence next to the barrels, to they roll over the invaders. After that, set the other things on fire. Another volcano will be summoned, and it's time to leave, and start over again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 3 [BW.03.04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objectives: * Sorry, didn't write it down - will come soon Bronze Scrolls: * Learn how to change time * How to check your objectives * How to build roads Silver Scrolls: * Silence the rooster * The pregnant daughter Special Object.: * Clear the land of question-mark signs * Increase impressiveness and happiness by 30000
Main Objectives ---------------
We can now start all over again. Thanks to the Aztec invaders. How nice of them. You can look around a bit if you want. As you can see, you can't do anything outside the green ring, which is your influence. You'll also notice there are enemies around. When you're done, click on the gold scroll.
*Gold* Pick up enough grain, and put 200 grain in the storehouse. (5000 tribute reward) Assign 3 farmers to the field, so you have enough food for the moment. (2000 tribute reward) Pick up a couple of trees, until there is enough wood in the storehouse. (2000 tribute reward) Create 3 foresters, for more tribute. (2000 tribute reward)
*Gold* Next to the other scroll, is the next one. The town center will be explained to you.
*Gold* Find the next scroll. You'll learn how to build houses. You need to grab the house in your town center, and drag it towards a place that's available. Then you need to grab a tree, and drop it on the foundation of the house. This will help the villagers a bit. Build a total of 12 foundations in your village. After that, you'll need to create 3 builders in order to get the houses built. (2000 tribute reward) You'll also learn godbuilding. This is when you grab a tree, hover over the foundation of a building, and then hold the left mouse button. The building will be built really quick, but you'll lose some resources. Finish all the foundations until they are houses. (3000 tribute reward) We need more people in the long run, so we need to create 3 breeders. (2000 tribute reward) The good guy wants a population of 75 now. (5000 tribute reward)
*Gold* Waiting for the population to rise is a waste of time. Instead, click the next gold scroll to learn about the toolbar. You need to open the toolbar, close it, and open it up again. After that, you need to head to the tribute tab (or press F4). Tribute is used to build buildings, like the temple on your screen. Buy the temple, and build it. The temple needs ore to be built. The villagers can mine them in mines, or they can get them from ore rocks. Help the villagers by picking up a rock and putting it in your storehouse. After you did that a bit, finish the temple by godbuilding. Because you finished the temple, new villagers will join you. (5000 tribute reward) Wait until the tribe got to your village, and accept them.
*Gold* Now it's time to build an armory and create a small army. Buy an armory, and build it. Then you'll learn to create an army. Follow the instructions of the bad guy. You'll also learn how to move the platoon. It's time to take over the town, so do so. (8000+3000 tribute reward)
*Bronze* Outside your first time, near a mountain, is a bronze scroll. You'll learn how to change between day and night. Try it. (2000 tribute reward)
*Bronze* In town is a scroll to learn how to check the objectives. Open your toolbar, and check them out. You'll notice there are also special objectives. For now we need to increase the size of town and how happy the people are, and we need to find 20 signs.
*Bronze* One more bronze scroll remaining in your town. This will teach you on how to build a road. Nothing hard. (2000 tribute reward)
*Gold* Time to move on, and finally play around with your creature. Click on the gold scroll in your town. Use the leash on your creature (click the action button on it, or press L). Move him outside the pen, give him some grain to eat, and then leash him to the rock next to the field. Your creature will grab a villager, and wonders if it should eat the villager. Hold the left mouse button on your creature and punish (good, move from side to side with your mouse) or reward it (bad, pet it by stroking up and down). (10000 tribute reward). This is where you'll really have to decide if you want to become good or bad.
Now follow your creature around, teaching him what's good or bad. He'll have silly ideas like eating rocks, pooping on villagers etc. Do what you like about it. Also expand your village.
Keep going, and eventually you'll be told that you can move on. Click on the gold scroll when you're ready.
Extra -----
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Near the bronze scroll on how to change time. Goal: Silence the rooster. Reward: 10000 tribute Solution: Change the time from day to night a few times.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: A house a bit away from town. Goal: Find more out about the pregnant woman. Reward: 20000 tribute Solution: Follow the woman until she enters a house and you hear kissing sounds. Then pick up the father, and drop him next to that house.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Increase impressiveness and happiness by 30000 Reward: 10000 tribute Solution: Just expand your city, build temples, and be sure your people have what they need. This will happen as you play, don't worry too much about it.
Type: Special Objective: Goal: Find all 20 question-mark signs. Reward: 2000 tribute Solution: Sign 1 to 5 - In and around your first town Sign 6 to 13 - Near the town that's far away from your own town Sign 14 - Near the big statue near your town Sign 15 - On a beach Sign 16 and 17 - Near the town that decides to live with you Sign 18 - Near the town you take over, close to the water Sign 19 - Near the town you take over, close to the ore mine Sign 20 - On the left hill, that leads to the big statue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 4 [BW.03.05] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objectives: * Win the land Resource Object.:* Villagers must collect 4000 ore * Villagers must collect 4000 grain * Villagers must collect 4000 wood Town Objectives: * Make 12 breeders * Have a population of 150 * Build 1 field * Water the field * Create 10 worshippers * Water forest * Build 10 buildings on impressive areas Creature Object.:* Entertain 5 people * Collect 3000 food * Kill 2 platoons of enemies * Let your creature build 12 houses War Objectives: * Level up a platoon to regular skill Bronze Scrolls: * How to build walls * How to build an altar * Give your creature roles Silver Scrolls: * Nut Oil * Legion of the Undead Special Object.: * Increase impressiveness and happiness by 30000 * Deforest the land
Main Objectives ---------------
We need to get the Norse people on our side. We can do this with love or hate. It's your call now, I'm not telling you what to do. Well, I am. But not if you should be good or bad, that's your own decision.
*Bronze* Near your town is a bronze scroll, that'll teach you how to build walls. Just set the foundation, and your villagers will do the rest.
You'll see a lot of objectives in your objective tab, so let's start right away. * Let your creature entertain 5 people (by picking them up, and putting them down) - 8000 tribute reward * Create 12 breeders - 4000 tribute reward * Create a lot of houses and a big field. Then create about 10 foresters, 10 farmers and 10 mineworkers. For each resource you get 4000 off, gives you 3000 tribute reward. * Build a field with gatherers for an easy 3000 tribute reward. * Build an altar - 2000 tribute reward
*Bronze* Once the altar is built, select the bronze scroll to learn how to get mana (create worshippers) and to use a water miracle. (2000+3000 tribute reward)
*Bronze* The other bronze scroll allow you to learn how to give your creature roles. Make him a gatherer, and let him gather some grain. Don't give him a role for too long, because this will affect his free will.
So, back to the other objectives again. You'll most likely have all the objectives above done. * Build more houses. Not an objective, I'm telling you this. Do anything to keep your people happy. * Be sure you have 10 worshippers - 5000 tribute reward * Find a tree, and water it - 3000 tribute reward * Let your creature gather 3000 grain - 3000 tribute reward * Let your create build 12 houses - 10000 tribute reward * Get a population of 150 (don't worry, it will happen) - 10000 tribute reward * If you want to be on the side of evil, create a platoon, and let them fight until they levelled up to regular skill - 4000 tribute reward
By now, people will want to move into your city, because you're impressive. Open the gate, and let them in. When an enemy platoon gets near, let your creature destroy it. This is evil, but do this when you're good too. When you killed two of them, you'll get 4000 tribute reward.
It's your decision if you'll take over the land by force or by impressing the other villages around you. Both ways will allow you to go to the next land. Do any remaining objective you want to do first though.
To finish the "Build 10 buildings on impressive areas", the easiest way would be to first win the land. Then build impressive buildings (granaries, for example) on impressive areas, like mountains or inside the town of your enemy. When you have the building you want to build, hover over it on a piece of ground. Normally you'd only see how much it'd impress, but when it's very impressive (so on a piece of ground you should build), it'll say something like 800+170.
Extra -----
Type: Silver Scroll Location: On an isle, pretty far away from your town. Goal: Throw a barrel from one isle to another. Reward: 20000 tribute Solution: Just throw the barrel from one isle to another. Don't worry if it falls into the water, they seem to have unlimited barrels. You can also wait till you won the land, and then just pick the barrel up, and drop it where needed.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: At night, close to the big enemy town. Goal: Get a legion of undead. Reward: 20000 tribute, 12 undead soldiers Solution: You need to click on the tombs in a certain order to get access to this legion of undead. Read all the stones. Start with the one that has the lowest date, and move up from there. When you clicked all five of them, you'll get your new army.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Increase impressiveness and happiness by 30000 Reward: 10000 tribute Solution: Just expand your city, build temples, and be sure your people have what they need. This will happen as you play, don't worry too much about it. Be aware you have plenty of tribute to buy things with.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Deforest the land Reward: 30000 tribute Solution: You need to remove every single tree from the isle (after you won the land, of course). Quite a tricky thing to do. If you're going for the good side, I suggest to not to this, since ripping out trees is considered evil. If you plan to do this, buy the skill (with tribute) that allows you to grab multiple things in one go. This will speed things up. Good luck with it. You can also burn things down to speed things up.
Another strategy is to put a big building there (like the creature pen) and immediately remove it. The trees will be gone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 5 [BW.03.06] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objectives: * Win the land Resource Object.:* Villagers must collect 6000 ore * Villagers must collect 6000 grain * Villagers must collect 6000 wood Town Objectives: * Have a population of 300 * Build a Wonder * Build 5 fields on fertile ground * Build 10 Embellishments Creature Object.:* Creature collects 5000 ore * Creature collects 5000 grain * Creature collects 5000 wood * Get the creature to help build 30 houses War Objectives: * Create 100 soldiers * Take over 3 towns by force * Kill every living thing Silver Scrolls: * Monk Test * Save the lambs! * Forest Ambush Special Object.: * Enclose town within walls * Take over 3 towns by impressiveness * Increase impressiveness by 30000 * Link 3 of your influence bubbles together
Main Objectives ---------------
At first the land seems pretty quiet, but soon enough the Japanese will enter through the portal. It's time to win the land again - any way you like. However, being good takes ages. I suggest to take the small towns by force, and the big town by impressing them. They won't attack your town, so don't worry.
The easiest way to expand your influence (for various objectives) is by building a wonder, so buy and build one as soon as you can. Also get worshippers for it, because it allows you to transform enemies into allies.
There is nothing hard about this land, it just takes quite some time.
Extra -----
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Near your town Goal: Help the monk with his test Reward: 40000 tribute Solution: You need to buy the hand forcing skill with your tribute before you're able to do this quest. All you need to do, is hold your left mouse button, and "scrub" the stones. The monk will do the rest.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Near the town of the enemy Goal: Save the lambs! Reward: 40000 tribute Solution: Some sheep is pregnant, and for some reason, she throws them away high into the air. Catch the sheep, there are about 30 of them.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: On the island Goal: Help the spy get through the forest Reward: 40000 tribute Solution: I haven't completely figured out this one yet. You can rotate the signs, so the spy (and the bandits) walk that way. Your spy needs to collect all the gold shiny things.
There's an alternative strategy for this; when you won the land, burn the forest down to get a much better view of what's going on.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Enclose town within walls Reward: 15000 tribute Solution: When you have enough influence, surround your town with walls (and a gate would be nice). No real rush here, but the tribute is always welcome.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Take over 3 towns by impressiveness Reward: 15000 tribute Solution: Just build your main city, and soon enough people will want to live with you (note this goes perfectly fine with the war objective to get 3 towns by force).
Type: Special Objective Goal: Increase impressiveness by 30000 Reward: 10000 tribute Solution: Just expand your city, build temples, and be sure your people have what they need. This will happen as you play, don't worry too much about it.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Link 3 of your influence bubbles together Reward: 5000 tribute Solution: You can do this by taking towns over by force (2 of them), and then linking your bubbles together. If that's not what you like, you can just wait till you finished the land, so you own the whole land, and then link the bubbles. You won't see the bubbles anymore, but they're still there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 6 [BW.03.07] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Objectives: * Win the land Town Objectives: * Have a population of 300 * Create 20 breeders * Use Shield Miracle to protect person or people Creature Object.:* Creature collects 3000 wood * Creature kills 10 platoons * Use creature to break enemy walls * Get the creature to help build 30 houses * Win 3 creature fights War Objectives: * Only attack under cover of darkness * Take over 3 towns by force Silver Scrolls: * Solve the riddle of the seven samurai * Nut Oil * Guide the archaeologists to the ruin * Cure the sick town Special Object.: * Build a Wonder * Take over 3 towns by impressiveness * Change of heart - convert from good to evil (or evil to good) * Segregate men and women into separate towns
Main Objectives ---------------
In the previous land, the other man was mainly focused on defence. This guy isn't, and he's going to attack you with endless swarms of platoons. This is not a land you'll be able to take with just some love, I'm afraid. Start with getting 20 breeders (tribute reward), make fields, then make foresters, farmers and mineworkers (when possible).
Once you made a set-up, with some houses, and whatever you people want (build a wonder too for more tribute). Let your creature deal with the upcoming platoons and catapults. It should be able to handle it without a problem. If you give your creature a lightning miracle and a heal miracle, he'll be unstoppable.
Build a wall as soon as you can. Let's say that the way the platoons are coming from is north. Then build a wall north of your town, with a gate in the middle of it. Create a platoon of archers, and put them on your wall. They'll shoot at the upcoming platoons (which aren't archers, only swordsmen) and so much for that. They'll rarely send a catapult. If that happens, let your creature have some fun with it.
Expand your city to the east, since there's plenty of space. If you want to take the land by force, I wish you a lot of luck, but I just went the evil way. It's so much faster...
So I made a wall, defence and had fun. With a lot of breeders, there were a lot of people, and the ore in the mine is rather limited. Create an army that has 50% archers and 50% swordsmen. Then do the seven samurai scroll, and meet the samurai with your existing army. Be sure your creature is there too.
There are 3 walls, and the one that's most on the right is unprotected. Let your creature destroy the gate, and let your man take over the town that's near it. It contains truckloads of ore, plus the mine is rather full too. Be sure to build a wall with a gate around it when you can. Let your creature destroy the catapults that are near, on a mountain.
There is another town close, and it has a wall around it. I suggest to ignore it. The next town should be ignored too (it has no defence, but it's quite easy for the enemy to get back).
One wall is blocking the path to your enemy. Let your creature destroy it, including the platoons that are on the wall (with lightning it's a piece of cake). Capture the town that's nearby and let your troops rest here and whatnot.
Prepare for the final confrontation. Let your creature crash open the gate to the town of the enemy, and let your troops kill the platoons here (the samurai are really great for this) and take over town.
Once again, you can probably do this with love too, but I wouldn't suggest it. I needed over 3.5 hours to do it with force. Do anything you want, and leave for the next land.
Note: If you want to finish the "let your creature fight three times" objective, you need to at least fight (and allow the creature to resurrect) the other creature 2 times and win. Once you conquered the land, and kick the living shit out of the creature, he won't resurrect.
Note: I got a quite different strategy to beat the land. Build up your influence, so it reaches the small path ahead of you. Then block the path with big rocks and the platoons of the Japanese can't reach you. When you want to move out, simply smash them with a rock or miracle.
Extra -----
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Near a strange looking path Goal: Solve the riddle of the seven samurai Reward: 40000 tribute, 7 very good soldiers Solution: All you need to do, is find seven samurai statues, and put them on the right pedestal. Finding them isn't even hard, because they glow up and you'll be able to see them from miles away. In case you can't find them;
Violet - Near the wall that's closest to your town (the one of the enemy, mind you). Purple - Near the first torch you lit during the nut oil quest. Blue - Near the starting point, on a path. Green - Near the sick village, near the sea. Yellow - Behind the mountain of the city of the enemy. Orange - Near the walled Japanese city (near the one with lots of ore) Red - Near your town are some islands. It's on the one that's far away.
Head back to the start point, and place them in that order on the pedestals, from left to right. Note it's easier to find them in the dark, because you'll see them glow.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: Near your town Goal: Help the nut oil men again Reward: 40000 tribute Solution: If you didn't do the other nut oil quest, you can't do this one. All you need to do, is throw barrels to the big wooden torches. However, you have about 10 tries each torch, so don't play around too much. Instead, you can use fireballs, of which you have unlimited, and long as you have mana.
Just like the other quest, you can also wait until you cleared the land and just put the barrels there. What's also possible, is to simply use the meteor or fireball miracle.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: On the biggest island Goal: Guide the archaeologists to the ruin Reward: 40000 tribute Solution: For this quest you need the hand forcing skill. You need to uncover 4 runes, and then help them uncover the "hidden" tomb (it's not hidden at all, but whatever).
1 - Near where the men are standing, rub the ground. 2 - Under the tree on the kill nearby. 3 - Near the rock on the beach. 4 - Straight left of the first rune, near a hill.
Now throw the rocks away for them, and the quest is solved.
Type: Silver Scroll Location: In the town of the Japanese Goal: Cure the sick town Reward: 40000 tribute, the town will be able to migrate Solution: You need the hand forcing skill for this quest as well. What you need to do, is "rub" the illness away. Be fast, because else the people will get sick again. You'll have a painful arm at the end. If you solved it, the people will be allowed and able to migrate when you impress them enough (or you can take it over, but in my walkthrough I told you not to).
If you don't really care for the people, only for the tribute, start the quest right away, and simply let them die. When there are only a few left, cure the sick people from it.
You can also wait until you finished the land, then pick them all up, put them on one spot and cure them.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Build a Wonder Reward: 100000 tribute Solution: What do you expect?
Type: Special Objective Goal: Take over 3 towns by impressiveness Reward: 20000 tribute Solution: What do you expect?
Type: Special Objective Goal: Change of heart - convert from good to evil (or vice versa) Reward: 5000 tribute Solution: Not really worth it tribute-wise. If you planned to change sides, do it. Otherwise forget about it.
Type: Special Objective Goal: Segregate men and women into separate towns Reward: 10000 tribute Solution: Quite an unique objective. Make a town for men, make a town of women. I didn't bother with it, and you can't breed when you do this, but if you're feeling like it, be my guest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land 7 [BW.03.08] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to face both Japanese brothers. We now have to face mighty miracles (earthquakes) and fast non-stop attacks. Get ready right way, and start expanding your city, building what you people need, getting children and resources. The usual. When your influence is big enough, start building walls with gates. Let your creature take care of platoons in the mean-time, and be sure to destroy the catapults.
It's nothing you never did before, but it just takes some time. Just be aware of how big the armies of the enemies are.
On the fourth land, near the town you began, there is a path that goes down. There is a man in a cave here. Throw him away as far as you can. The further you throw him, the more tribute you will get. Set new records to get more tribute each time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Move the Lionhead Logo [BW.04.03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the game starts, and the Lionhead logo appears, you can move it with your arrow keys or left mouse button and have a bit of fun with the small blocks.
Take over a town, and remove all food and population. Now you'll keep getting evil points for it, because you're not feeding the "population". This will keep going on forever.
Q: I installed the patch, and my saves refuse to work! A: That's not a question.
Q: I installed the patch, and my saves refuse to work! Why? A: Better read the notes that come with the patch.
Q: How can I get the tiger? A: By getting the limited edition of the game, or by getting a tiger unlocker. DO NOT MAIL ME ABOUT THE TIGER UNLOCKER.
Q: How do I build gates? A: Build a wall, then make the gate into the wall.
Q: How can I cast wonders? A: It depends on how impressive you are, your influence, where the wonder is located etc. Sometimes you can cast it within the influence of your enemy, sometimes a little bit outside of it. Just try it out. It seems that the more worshippers you have, the further away from your own influence you'll be able to cast the miracle.
Note that wonders need to have worshippers around it to charge.
Q: My villagers complain they need more sleep and free time. What to do? A: I'm not completely sure, but I think you need to build some more houses.
