Control
the Lionhead logo
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
platoons
It 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-game
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 tribure you will get. Set new records
to get more tribute each time. This is NOT a quest and doesn't show up
anywhere.

Change Building
Costs:
NOTE: This involves editing a game file. Always make a backup copy of
the file before proceeding.
If you are having difficulties with the game, you can edit the building costs to make it much cheaper to build. Use a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad to edit the "gamebalancebuilding.txt" file in the "Black & White 2databalance" directory. Upon opening the file, you will see something as follows:
//Balance file for
Black and White 2 Last Saved,#2005-08-24 22:58:35#,"probinson"
//Building
AZTEC_ABODE_A 280 0 3.5 80 6 2 3 2 3 2 10 0 1 1 1.5
150 0.7 0.6 0.5 0 0.4 -0.008
Each category (for example, AZTEC_ABODE_A, JAPANESE_ABODE_A, EGYPTIAN_ABODE_A, etc. until GREEK_MIRACLE_ENHANCER) has 26 numbers separated by a tab. These numbers correspond to the building's characteristics. However the only two numbers you need to be concerned about are the first two, which indicate the Wood (first number) and Ore (second number) requirements to construct that particular building. For example, the "AZTEC_ABODE_A" requires 280 wood and 0 ore. You can in turn edit all the GREEK buildings' cost requirements to whatever desired by changing the first two numbers that appear in each category.
For example, change the following line:
GREEK_TEMPLE 3000
1500 35 85.7142857142857 20 10 20 0
20 0 55 0 1 1 5 50 0.8 0.5 0.5 0 0.6 0.005
to:
GREEK_TEMPLE 1 1 35
85.7142857142857 20 10 20 0 20 0
55 0 1 1 5 50 0.8 0.5 0.5 0 0.6 0.005
The GREEK_TEMPLE originally cost 3000 Wood and 1500 Ore, but now only needs 1 Wood and 1 Ore after the edit. The following 24 numbers remain unchanged. This has been tested and works on v1.1, and can be applied to current games in progress. You may choose to start legitimately and only make use of this cheat at a later level.
