That’s the choice you must make upon returning to a warring land in Black & White 2. Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices.

About Black & White 2

The player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help the villagers who invoked them. The player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player is physically represented in the world as an avatar-like creature, which takes the form of a giant anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. The creature can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona based on how the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Black & White 2 features a more conventional heads-up display (HUD) system than its predecessor. Rather than the experimental HUD-less gameplay seen in the original game, Black & White 2 features HUD notifications that inform players of their creature's state of mind, the effects of their actions on their creature, the status of villages, etc. The user interface is almost button-less. The player sees little else on the screen but the world, the player's hand, and toolbars which the player can make disappear.

The only way the player can directly interact with this world is through the player's hand, which can be used to pick up people, trees, and food. It can also directly push and pull objects on the ground, allowing the player to directly participate in combat in a limited way. The player can also cast miracles for a certain amount of "Prayer Power" (in essence, "Mana"), which comes from the player's believers.

The player comes upon a scene of a Greek city being devastated by a huge Aztec army after being summoned from a "pure prayer". After the player saves a certain number of people, their people are transported to a new land with a handful of refugee worshipers, the player must re-establish a power base from which to eventually defeat the Aztec empire. To do so, the player must conquer the Norse, the Japanese and the Aztecs, either by peace or war. Throughout the game there is a theme of "The prophecy", which states that a tribe will be destroyed by the mightiest power in the world but will receive a god who will lead them to glory and dominance of the world.

The good and evil advisors return, both once again voiced by Marc Silk, except there were some significant cosmetic changes for the good advisor - now making use of the more recent graphical capabilities available for his beard and hair.

      For real was a huge help. Had no previous save data so I fired it up, was greeted with zero audio and my little dudes were stuck hovering around at animal selection. Restarted my PC and everything was working just fine. I get to listen to bad accents now while winning over towns and smashing people with rocks.

    Has anyone had success running this? I’ve looked through all the wiki/troubleshooting and I can’t get it to run. It installs, even opens to the main screen, I click “play” and nothing happens. The startup page disappears. I do get this error when running the install “CRC error: the file C:\Program files (x86)\Lionhead Studios\black & white 2\Audio\Dialogue\Speech.lug doesn’t match the file in the setup’s .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup may be corrupted; contact your software vendor.”

    I also uninstalled everything and re-downloaded the game from Old Games thinking an unstable connection corrupted a file but I got the same notification the second time.

    Any help is appreciated. I’ve been wanting to play this game since it came out and couldn’t afford it then and can’t buy it anywhere now.

      I also got that error and picked the ignore option. babel above provided this link (https://yummy-wakame.com/2017/06/how-to-get-black-white-2-to-run-on-windows-10/) with patches. It’s straightforward and following it will allow you to play. You might be like me and greeted with zero audio and the game will “stop” during animal selection. Simply restart your PC and try again, should work after that with no freezing and have all its lovely audio working. Contrary to the title of the link I am running windows 11.

    Downloaded the “deviance” version, burned it to dvd, but when launching the game, it asks me for the correct cd !!! So the case is simple, either you supply the crack or it is perfectly useless to propose it to us…

    Hellohello,
    Thank you for this upload.
    With both the ISO ones I can install it but then the program does not run.
    I’ve tried different compatibility options but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
