Land 3, cause little pressure, and of course immortal man.
God - Can't remember enough
Creature - Ape Duh
Unlocked Creature - The turtle
Strategy - First playthrough was burn everything and expand. Second playthrough, actually teach your creature to win villages for you.

why did the god sim genre die?

you do mean african-american&racist

I'm trying it out now. Works flawlessly in 1920x1080 with the 1.41 fan patch. The patch also allows you to skip the tutorial if you wish.

Thanks for reminding me this exists. I’ll reinstall it now.
Is the second game any good?

Who owns the Black & White IP nowdays? Think we'll ever see a new one?

Personally I think 1 is where the creature AI and (to this day) awesome technology is, whereas 2 is better as a comfy builder game with gimmicks however they removed a lot of awesome tech and vastly dumbed down the creature.

Finished the temple. No issues at all so far. I'm surprised at how well it runs actually, considering I'm on Win10.

Microsoft owned lionhead studio before it got the axe so I would assume they do? I was replaying B&W2 recently and I really wish they had kept up with the series. Would probably be a mobile game if they brought it back today

Fuck meant to reply to

I discovered an issue with patch 1.20, but it's easily fixed. Installing 1.20 removed most of the game's music, strangely. But go back into the ISO and simply copypaste the audio folder into the install folder. Fixed.

Well Yea Forums?

I remember being so proud of my creature when I taught him to set his poo on fire and throw it at villagers.

Thanks bud I was literally just to ask about this problem

Ape is the patrician choice. Cow is ok too but tigga is for faggots.

Peter Molyneux and his bullshit promises
The genre is doing OK. There's a bunch of Indie god games coming out.

>Is the second game any good?

Better interface. It's more straightforward but loses the feeling of discovery the first one had.

Always the monkey.

>There's a bunch of Indie god games coming out.
Can you give some names? I haven't followed the genre in years.

They're not as good as B&W but some are decent

>Equilinox
>Birthdays the Beginning
>Universim (Early Access as of now)

There was Reus released few years ago.

Molyneux released Godus but that thing was shit and a carpal tunnel simulator.

From Dust is a nice little mini nature themed god game.

Most indie vidya channels on youtube usually showcase these types of games.

We really need more B&W

I always loved the 2nd island. You had that big open field to build a large town on - also there were some side quests and stuff to do but mostly you could just mess around and gradually expand. Later islands became too plot/quest heavy IMHO.

I always found the 2nd game kinda soulless in comparison to the original.
