| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
In the original Black And White you were able to control the opening logo for Lionhead. Lionhead Studios has brought this back. When you begin the game, you can fool around with their physics engine and left click on the box that fills up with beads; and pull it away or up or down; or do whatever else desired. When you are ready to continue with the game, release the box and wait for the screen to change.
Replenishing platoonsIt is possible to replenish your platoons with female villagers (if the villager at the top of the hand multi-pickup group is male and you hold down with the action button), while only male villagers will form platoons. This effectively increases your military population. They will appear just like normal villagers while in the platoon, but will have the relevant equipment to the platoon. Note: This has only been tested with Greek melee infantry.
Norse mini-gameOn 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 tribure you will get. Set new records to get more tribute each time. This is NOT a quest and doesn't show up anywhere.
Cast miracles anywhere:On land 7 (The 2 Japanese Brothers), find the Norseman who will not die you can pick him up anywhere except in your enemy's realm. Place him next to the desired target (armies, walls, creatures), then cast miracles on him. This will kill, destroy, or heal your target but not him. You can use this to heal your creature outside your realm. Note: You must cast the miracles directly on him. as it is difficult to throw them.
Infinite Evil PointsTake over a town anyway possible and remove all of the food and population. Now you should be getting evil points every few minutes due to the fact that you are not feeding the town, although nobody is living in it.
Easy killsUse your fire miracle to set fire to a tree, and then pick it up. If you then hold it over enemy troops, there health will deplete and eventually the squad will die. This works even in the enemy's main city.
Increase ImpressivenessGo to your game folder and navigate to \Data\Balance. Find the file PlacementData.xml and open it in Wordpad. Find the third paragraph, which starts <object type="abode" name="greek_abode_c">. Change the line <basevalue impressiveness="0.2" /> to <basevalue impressiveness="20" />. Then open one of your saved games and place several villas. They will make your town massively impressive and you will win the land you are in. This will affect all saved games.

You must buy the fire miracle first. You get a tree and cast the fire miracle on it and it will set on fire, then put it over the enemy's building and it will destroy it quite fast.
