With all the enemy’s armies down (And without using your own armies -o-) The
fucking Aztecs will cast the goddamn volcano spell. They don’t care about your
influence ring and they’ll use it VERY VERY close to your city. So it’s time
to say goodbye to your farms and some of your villies (Because I still can’t
believe that they’re very dumb trying to run out of the volcano if they’re
running to it) Power up the water miracle and use it to take off the lava
before it reaches something that you really appreciate (Of course, my armies!
They do A LOT for my city [LOL]) Anyway they laugh at your face (I mean, at
your all mighty hand) thinking about your weakness and how are you going to
beat them with just influence.
Think again... You Aztec jerk...
Just when it seems that you’re gonna lose, your Japanese friends arrive to the
east beach with a BIG army (If you’re good alignment and you don’t use an
army), hopefully the east Aztec city NEVER close its doors and you can take
the town center without doubt... You’ll get 150,000 tributes for this.
By the way... Don’t build anything in your main city until you get two Aztec
cities, if you build something where they used the volcano spell they’ll use
it again.
And...
The Aztec’s creature (A gorilla I guess), has his hitpoints increased each
time you defeat him, so, if you killed him 3 times try to figure out how many
hp will have in the next encounter. If you have your creature mastered as a
warrior, the Aztec’s creature will be no match for him so... Have fun watching
how your creature is saving the day =P
Ok, so, now you have two cities, but, what’s next? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey... Do you
remember those Norse guys? Yup! They arrive 5 minutes before the Japanese did
in the west coast to take down the west Aztec city, this one has its doors
closed so use the catapults to break them and take the town center for the
glory of the Greeks! (Ok ok I just enjoyed it typing it =P) You’ll get another
150,000 tributes for this. When you take this city, the Aztecs will not have
their creature anymore, so, enjoy killing him before do that.
With the two Aztecs cities on your side, your creature as a master warrior, a
huge army, and all a land for you, you can decide if attack them and take the
town center by force or just now with influence.
Taking the town with influence it’s pretty easy because when you get the two
Aztec cities the last one will not use the volcano spell anymore, for unknown
reasons. Use the smelter to increase the ore production and you’ll get the
land as soon as you can expect. You can use also the mermaid spell to call
some new villies to your cities.
Taking the town with your armies and creature will not be fun... All you have
to do is break their door, kill their pathetic army and claim the town
center. It’ll be yours in 30 seconds.
If you want a challenge, try to take all the cities by influence =P (Ok ok
I’m out of my mind =O)

Secrets [BW.04.01]
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norse Mini-game [BW.04.02]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 tribute you will get. Set new records to get more
tribute each time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move the Lionhead Logo [BW.04.03]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the game starts, and the Lionhead logo appears, you can move it with your
arrow keys or left mouse button and have a bit of fun with the small blocks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Infinite Evil Points [BW.04.04]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take over a town, and remove all food and population. Now you’ll keep getting
evil points for it, because you’re not feeding the "population". This will
keep going on forever.

Move the Logo During the Credits [BW.04.05]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the credits, you can move the logo by holding the right mouse button.
You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel.

Afford Anything [BW.04.05]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This little trick will only work on new games, just for the record.
Go to your Black & White 2 dir, and open the file
"DataBalanceGameBalanceArtefact.txt". Back the file up and you can play
around. You can change the values of everything in the tribute menu (the first
number after the name). Keep it above 1000, and you can play with it all you
want.
Make sure that the number behind "TOTAL_COST" is changed too, so it all sums
up correctly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase Impressiveness [BW.04.06]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to your Black & White 2 dir, and open the file
"DataBalancePlacementData.xml" with Notepad. Find the third paragraph,
that starts with ’<object type="abode" name="greek_abode_c">’. Change the line
<basevalue impressiveness="0.2" />
to
<basevalue impressiveness="20" />
Now place some villas, or other impressive buildings, and your impressiveness
will grow very quick, and makes you win the land.

FAQ [BW.05.01]
==============================================================================
Q: I installed the patch, and my saves refuse to work!
A: That’s not a question.
Q: I installed the patch, and my saves refuse to work! Why?
A: Better read the notes that come with the patch.
Q: How can I get the tiger?
A: By getting the limited edition of the game, or by getting a tiger unlocker.
DO NOT MAIL ME ABOUT THE TIGER UNLOCKER.
Q: How do I build gates?
A: Build a wall, then make the gate into the wall.
Q: How can I cast wonders?
A: It depends on how impressive you are, your influence, where the wonder is
located etc. Sometimes you can cast it within the influence of your enemy,
sometimes a little bit outside of it. Just try it out. It seems that the
more worshipers you have, the further away from your own influence you’ll
be able to cast the miracle.
Note that wonders need to have worshipers around it to charge.
Q: My villagers complain they need more sleep and free time. What to do?
A: Set the time to "ZzZ" etc, by holding the left mouse button on the horizon.
For free time you can also build "fun" things like a tavern, baths etc.
