Black & White 2
In this strategy game, you reprise your role as a powerful deity in search of
a following and return to the once idyllic world of Eden, where the discovery of
weaponry and warfare has tainted the beautiful landscape. With the help of
your gigantic Creature that you raise from infancy, you must earn the respect
and worship of the natives. How you choose to do that,, whether through
nurturing them or terrorizing them is up to you.
Once there were many gods - all depending on the worship of humans to survive.
As their following increased, they grew in strength, and as their battle for
control intensified, destruction became second nature to the people of Eden.
This was chronicled in the past and has since passed into legend. But after the
devastation came peace. Without hardship, people stopped needing gods and
the gods simply disappeared. And without gods, life continued.
While you've slumbered, the path to evil has become even more enticing.
Warriors have been born, ever more fearsome weaponry has been developed, and the
once idyllic land of Eden is teetering on the brink. The Greek people -
your people - form the final barrier to total Aztec domination. Now a simple,
desperate prayer has brought you back and you must follow your conscience once
more. Will you establish secure and majestic environments that will become
the envy of peoples across the land or will your cities become evil citadels of
aggression with the sole purpose of supporting your war machine? Will you
devote all your powers to enriching your people's lives or will you watch as
they march to their deaths? This time it really matters!
Features:
Wage massive wars, sieges and battles or use your skill and power to keep
the peace.

Earthquake and volcanoes, which cause rivers of lava.

Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods
Battle of the Gods is the expansion disk for Black & White 2 and offers
player a host of new challenges in a much darker, more sinister game world.
Battle of the Gods takes the player back once more to the world of Eden where
something strange has started to happen. The Aztecs have not accepted defeat
lightly and by making a huge number of human sacrifices they have managed to
raise their own evil deity. Now the player must return to Eden to fight this
evil deity head on. As always in the Black & White world, the tactics
employed to battle with this new foe are up to the player - but if nothing is
done, this evil deity will take over the world.
The player's quest to rout this new foe will be made easier by their own
tribe, the Greeks, and of course, the creature. Both will be tested to the limit
by the evil machinations of the Aztecs and their god. The Black &
White world allows player the freedom to choose how they will rise to this new
challenge either by countering the evil deity's actions with good ones or
attempting to out do him with extreme evil. As well as fighting back with
huge armies, the player can also use an array of spells and, when the occasion
demands, an epic miracle.
Features:
New ultimate foe in the form of a rival god
Choose and mould a creature select from old favorites like the Ape,
Cow, Lion, Wolf and Tiger or use the brand new creature included in
Battle of The Gods. Alternatively import an existing creature from Black
& White 2
Battle with the enemy god over three lands including two hitherto
undiscovered ones
Battles are more satisfying thanks to an all new enemy unit AI system
but watch out for two new enemy army units and their ultimate weapon
their own new enemy creature!
Four new miracles boost the players choice of miracles
Three new player buildings all of which affect the simulation and the
player's alignment
