Black and White: Difference between revisions

The sequel, ''Black & White 2'', added a significant wargame element where players could decide if they wanted to be defensive or offensive rulers, defending their cities from oncoming attacks or taking the invading armies head-on, in lieu of the usual god-game elements. The sequel also addressed many of the most vocal complaints about its predecessor, such as the unwieldy building interface.

* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: Your guides in the game, an old man who floats on a rainbow-spewing cloud and a wisecracking little demon. [[Talking to Himself|They use the same actor, strangely enough.]]

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In the first game, {{spoiler|your consciences believe that this is what your Creature is doing to unlock the third Creed Fragment. Thankfully, it survives.}}

* [[Human Sacrifice]]: Drop a villager onto your altar for [[Mana]], evil points (see [[Karma Meter]] below), but curiously [[Bloodless Carnage|not blood]].

* [[Infant Immortality]]: [[Averted Trope|Nope.]]

* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: The end of the first game, and all that it implies. Fusing {{spoiler|the three Creed pieces doesn't just kill Nemesis, it kills ''all the other Gods on Eden'', regardless of their alignment or involvement in the Nemesis Conflict}}. It's even worse when you realize that B&W1-era villages were more than a little dependent on their Gods for survival...

* [[Karma Meter]]: The world is your Karma Meter, and we mean that quite literally. The game offers numbers if you go menu diving, but the way the look of the entire game changes is a much more immediate indicator of your god's moral standing.

* [[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]: You can only recruit men to your armies.
