Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods 2006 Cheats

Afford It All

This is a cheat not every one knows.
THIS WILL NOT WORK ON PRE-SAVED GAMES! You Must Start A New Game!

Go to the directory for Black and white 2, and find the file "GameBalanceArtefact" in \data\Balance\directory.
Copy the file to your desktop for safe keepings. You may need it later on.
Once done, open the file. You will see all these numbers= Tribute value of all the items.

Look for the most valued one-
ARTEFACT_EPIC_WONDER_NUMBER_VOLCANO 100000
Dont look at the other numbers, just change the "100000" directly to the right of any artefact. This WILL change the value in the game.
You may do this to every one. "BUT DO NOT GO BELOW 1000" This may make the game not work properly. But remember to change the total cost to whatever it now adds up to at the end of the file.

Nothing good ever lasts long. At least, that's the lesson you'd have to take away from the new Black & White 2 expansion Battle of the Gods. After securing Eden and making everything nice and peaceful (or nice and burning depending on your temperament), you thought you could settle back for your day of rest. Not so. The pesky Aztecs have managed to call forth a new god to challenge your supremacy on the islands of Eden. Now you'll have to face off against him and his undead army.

The original Black & White 2 never really made you feel like you were competing with another deity. In the absence of any sort of rivalry between two opposing gods, victory in the last game was sort of inevitable, no matter how poorly you managed your people. That's not exactly the case in Battle of the Gods. Here you'll find yourself presented with an immediately hostile adversary. To be fair, the challenge still isn't terribly overwhelming but it does provide a little more excitement and personality than was found in the previous game.

For one thing, the evil guy you're up against is a Chatty Kathy. He comments on the fight pretty often throughout the game. Hearing his rumbling, totally evil voice call out to his creature to bring in more villagers to sacrifice definitely helps you get caught up in the action. And when you see his hand roaming around your buildings or tossing rocks at your armies, well, then it's just downright personal.

Still, he's not as formidable an opponent as you might expect. Though having him tossing stuff at you definitely creates a distraction, he seems more content to solidify his own position and let you take over the neutral towns at your leisure. He's no more aggressive in his use of his armies or his creature. Rather than trying to overwhelm you at once, he prefers instead to send out his armies in bits and pieces that are easily destroyed by all but the least attentive players.

But he does have a few new tricks up his sleeve. Since he's got this whole death fetish, his armies are made up of undead warriors. They fight and die just like regular soldiers but their appearance is at least visually unsettling. It's not nearly as unsettling as his own creatures; the undead monkey from the first island is pretty chilling. In any case, the big bad one doesn't present much of a threat to you either in terms of military might or development of impressiveness.

A handful of new buildings add a few more tactical options this time around. A blacksmith can upgrade your soldiers for instance, making them more effective on the battlefield. Hospitals heal damaged units, letting you save the mana you normally spent on healing for other miracles. While the new buildings are nice, none of them really alter the game in any significant way. They merely serve as small supplements to your existing strategies.

I'd like to have seen a little more sophistication in the military side of the game. Sure, you have a few extra spells (one of which even allows you to form your own undead soldiers) but Battle of the Gods is still basically just a numbers game. Get enough troops together, point them in the direction of the enemy and sit back and watch the action. While there's definitely a compelling challenge to creating a good army, leading it into battle is still a little too hands-off for my tastes.

Those players (like me) who don't happen to have their original Black & White 2 saved games need not worry. The new expansion lets old and new players hit the ground running. To begin with, you can select one of two starting packages -- one good and one evil -- that give you a variety of miracles and bonuses to give you a leg up. You can also elect to start off as neutral and fine tune your own starting package. You'll basically be given a ton of tribute to spend how you see fit. Since you get so much tribute to start with, you'll find yourself springing for that lava wonder fairly quickly.

Black and White 2 - Battle of the Gods is a game for the PC, which at times, requires a bit more help than a quick hint, tip or code. Many Strategy / Real-Time games such as Black and White 2 - Battle of the Gods have various guides written for them on the web.

Full Storehouse

Use the Life Miracle on your Storehouse and it will become full.

More tribute

Win the land and when the capital town is migrating, pick up as many people as you can and kill them. Use your Life Miracle on them all, then put them with the rest of the migration. Before they get to your town you can pick up their flag and put it in your town. Then the people you killed must migrate again and you will get more tribute.
