Control the Lionhead Logo
Quick Tip for Black & White 2
As in the original Black And White you can control the opening logo for Lionhead. When the game begins, you can mess around with Lionhead's physics engine by left clicking on the box that fills up with beads and pulling it away, or up or down or do whatever else desired. Once you are ready to continue with the game, release the box and wait for the screen to change.
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.
Infinite Evil Points
Take 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.
Change The Villagers Names
To change your villagers name go to the folder where you installed Black and White 2, and go into:
C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios\Black & White 2\Data\Text
(above location is the default)
Here you should see a .txt file called 'Villager Names'. Change the names in the file. Leaving the 'M' or 'F' before the name.
Example: MJack Reynolds
Load up the game and press 'S' which will bring up all the names of the villagers, and look for the ones with your names.
Increase Impressiveness
Go to your game folder and navigate to \Data\Balance. Find the file PlacementData.xml and open it in a Wordpad (or any other editor). Find the third paragraph, which starts like this:
<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.
Infinite Ore
Go into the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios\Black & White 2\Data\landscape\BW2
(assuming the default installation of Black and White 2)
Open one of the Land[numer].BWE files with notepad. Scroll down until you see something like this:
CREATE_ORE_LODE("912.90,514.99", "Ore Lode Normal", 2914, 1000, 0.000000)
Change normal to infinite, and repeat in every Land file. Changes won't take effect until you move to the next land.
About Black & White 2
In Black & White you left the world behind because it was exactly how you wanted it to be. The whole world believed in you. As a god, your job was done. But since you've been away, things have changed. The tribes have discovered technology and are embracing the power it brings with a zeal bordering on the religious. And with new technology comes war. Are you ready for war? You had better be, because the people of Eden are and they need guidance. Whether you persuade them to fight, or encourage them to be peaceful... it's up to you.
