"The World's Fate":

Submitted by: Matthew Smith

In your B&W Directory, go into the scripts subdirectory. There are are files such as "Land1"
and an other subdirectory called "Playgrounds". Inside, there are files like "TwoGods".
Open any of these files like the ones mentioned above with Wordpad or note pad (MS Word
isn't so good at this).

Here you can edit atributes to the land, like miracles! You can also change the amount of
food and wood in your village store. Just change the nubers in the brackets. e.g. (500)
change it to (99999999).

You can also st your town belief and influence radius by editing Player and Town influence.
Try adding 99999999 to these attributes. As for miracles, it depends on what kinf god u
wanna b. If u're evil, you can change the "WATER_PU1" or "FOOD" Miracles to
"FIRE_PU2" - five fireballs! Or "BEAM_EXPLOSION_PU2" - the powerful megablasts!
Or if u want to be good, try adding "HEAL_PU1". Remember, the trick to this is trial and
error so make some backups of the scripts. You can also move or delete objects, be carful
wat u do though. You don't wanna wreck the game. Experiment with town belief and influence
multiplier, I advise not to go over 99999999 as it may cause side effects. Alaso, many
miracles will be listed in the scripts themselves, look for them and remember, many
miracles can have powerups represented by "PU1" or "PU2". HAVE FUN!!!



Hint:

Submitted by: Tahira & Rahir(The Creature)

I found an interesting way to teach the creature a miracle using only a single
one-shot miracle seed. Interested?
If so, read following:
First get the creature on the rope leash. Then give him a one-shot miracle.
About every other time you do this there will be a lightbulb saying how well the
creature has learnd that particular miracle. Then click on the ground to get him
to drop it before he tries to cast it. Repeat this chain of actions until the
creature has learnd the miracle 100%.

Tons of belief:

Submitted by: Filip Panoski

First charge-up a Forest miracle(if you have it at your
worship site of course)then cast it in a vilage you want to
take over.When it's fully appeared you'll get alot of belief,
but for even more follow these steps:

1.When it's fully appeared(there will be butterflies if it is)
click with the action button on the thing that looks like a stick
on top of it.

2.The forest will be charged for 0 prayer power.
3.Activate it in the same village.
4.Be careful not to activate it quickly because every time you
do it like this a smaller amount of trees will be created.
5.Enjoy!

In level 4 (were you must defeat the 3 guardian stones)
one of the stones is guarded by a shield. You have to touch
bells in order to make it disappear,
This is the sequence:
123
12352
1235231
123523141
make this stone the first one to disappear, because the
fireball rain it controls does the most damage to your
followers, and you need them !!

In the 3rd village there will be villager infront of
temple just below hill where the guru stands.

We can go to any village outside our influence by
throwing him repeatedly until we reach the village.

After you go through the training for knocking the
rock off the piller, go back to it and start knocking
it off over and over and you will keep getting water
miracles.

Unlimited Water Miracles:
-------------------------
Submitted by: rickHH
Use the following trick to get unlimited Water Miracles
on the first level. At the place where there is the
first silver reward, scroll on land one. After completing
it, knock over the rock again and it turns into a
Water Miracle.

Alter time:
-----------
Hold [Alt] and press 1 to slow down time or hold [Alt]
and press 2 to speed up time.

South Park spoof:
-----------------
Leave the game running without taking any actions.
Eventually, you will hear the advisors in a spoof
of South Park.

Easy miracles:
--------------
You can teach your creature some miracles easily.
Take either Food, Wood, Water, Lightning, Fireball,
Teleport, or any other miracle you can use and use
some/regrab it. Then put the rest back in the dish at
the worship site. You will get the same amount of prayer
power, so you can use it again.

Finding one-shot miracles:
--------------------------
You can sometimes find one-shot miracles under
trees and rocks.

Dice and a teddy bear:
----------------------
In land one (the first island), go above the cache (the
location where many children live), and zoom in until
you are "in" the house. You should see two big dice, a
small die, and a big Teddy Bear.

Unlimited Lightning Miracles:
-----------------------------
Take the Lightning Miracle and go the the edge of your
influence. You can win whole towns by jumping out long
enough for a brief shot and back in before it is used up.


Hint:
-----
Did you know, that if you search for the file names.txt
in your Black directory, you will be able to edit this
list of names that are allocated to your villagers.
Make sure that you type how many names are in the list
on the first line of the text file, so if you had 50
names in your list, the first line would read 50. Add
the names of your friends, or the names of your enemies,
it will add a new level of villager interaction.

Custom villager names:
----------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file;
create a backup copy of the file before proceeding.
Use a text editor to edit the "names.txt" file in the
game folder. You can change the names contained in the
file as desired, for example use friends or family.
However, the number of names in the file must match the
number listed in the first line.

Dizzy evil conscience:
----------------------
Start the tutorial and wait for your conscience to stop
talking. Repeatedly move your mouse in circles and your
evil conscience's head will eventually start spinning.

Unlimited food and wood:
------------------------
Activate a Food or Wood Miracle. Then hold the Hand
over the door of the village store or workshop and
quickly and repeatedly press the Right Mouse Button.
If done correctly, a large amount of food or wood will
be created for very little mana.

Beach balls, bowling balls and bowling pins:
--------------------------------------------
Go to the God's Playground (press [F2] during game play)
and exit out of the first tutorial by pressing [Esc].
Then zoom all the way out. Look for the small island off
of the larger one. When you find it, zoom in on it.
Rotate the camera so that you are looking at the small
island and can see the large island in the distance.
At the base of the small island you will see two beach
balls, two bowling balls and some bowling pins with smiley
faces on them.

Smiley face footprints:
-----------------------
Set your system date to April 1 and being the game.
Your character will leave smiley face footprints in
the ground.

April Fools Trick:
------------------
During the game on April 1st, Your monster will leave
smiley face foot prints in the ground instead of their
regular foot prints. You do this change your computer's
date to April 1st.

Hints:
------
Control:
--------
Since navigation is such a big part of this game,
personalizing control is key to your success and
enjoyment of the game. While point and click control
is well developed, we found that it is quicker to assign
movement to the keyboard. Map the movement controls to
the AWSD buttons, like a first person shooter.
Set Q and E for camera rotation, and R and F to change
pitch. This will make controlling your god hand quick
and easy, and keep your other hand free to use the two-button
mouse and zoom wheel.

Double-clicking is another great way to move around the map
and quickly zoom in on action you want to be a part of.
Whenever moving around the map, zoom out and tilt down to
get a bigger perspective. It will save you a lot of time
and frustration to see the whole island and simply click
to the region you want to be in.

While your powers only work within areas you control,
you can affect areas outside of your domain for a very
brief period of time. By quickly crossing outside of
your realm of influence, you can grab valuable resources
and even rival villagers that you can convert or sacrifice
to gain more Miracle power.

Five Teddy Bears:
-----------------
To get five quite harmless yet fun to throw teddy
bears, find the gold story scroll near the large
crater near the Indian graveyard. Select it and do
as the man says and after you finish the teddy bears
will still be in the crater and available to toss about
or arrange in any manner you wish.

More Bowling Balls and Bowling Pins:
------------------------------------
To find two very small bowling balls and ten
downsized versions of the pins found on the small
island just look near the bottom of the mountain
with the Celtic Wonder on top. There should be a
shallow ditch at the bottom side facing in towards
the mainland where you will find the bowling balls
and pins.

Another Toy Ball:
-----------------
To find another toy ball just go to the narrowest
part of the mainland and look for a medium sized grey
rock standing straight up with a very ponty tip.
Hiding behind it is the toy ball.

Belief:
-------
Choose a village that you want to get some belief from.
Make sure your and/or creature has Fireball, Water and/or
Heal miracle. Then, use Fireball to get some belief. Next,
with your and/or your creature, use Water and/or heal on
the flaming villagers to get even more belief. To get more,
you can rebuild the buildings that were destroyed.

Floating tree:
--------------
In the first level after the sailors build the boat, but
before you give them meat, put a tree on top of the boat
and make sure it remains there.Then give them what they
need. After they are gone, the tree will be floating.

The Angry Stone Heads of Doom:
------------------------------
To find the two angry stone heads go to the hill
near the crater talked about in how to get the five
teddy bears that has a big forest atop it. If you're
in the right spot you should be able to see the two
angry stone heads very easily. Note that if destroying
villages is your cup o' tea these stone heads are perfect
for it (which is obviously why I call them the
"Angry Stone Heads of Doom").

Get any creature from the start:
--------------------------------
Go to My computer, then drive C: Then Program files,
Then lionhead studios ltd, Then Black & White, Then
Data, Then Ctr, Then you will see a list of all the
creatures in the game, to get any of these, you must
swich places of one of the 3 started chars,(Ape, Cow,
Tiger) by switching the name of one of them to the one
you want. Then start up Black & White, Then when you
make a new game and get the creature quest finished.
You will see the creature you want instead of the cow,
or tiger or ape. Like Switching the BHorse.CBN file to
the BCow.CBN file. That will switch places of both those
creatures in the game.
[Make a backup before renaming any files]

Funny Trick:
------------
Submitted by: Pangeran Akbarsyah


Here's an interesting thing, during the tutorial, when you conscience
aren't talking, move your mouse in circles alot and the evil conscience
will start spinning his head.

Funny Names

Find the file names.txt in the game's directory and edit it with a text
editor like notepad to make any names you want.

Unlimited Food and Wood

When having activated a wood or food miracle,
hold the Hand over the door of the village store .
( Not in the middle of it !! )

Then press the action button ( right mouse button ) very quick
repeatedly over the Village stores door.

You get an insane amount of wood or food
( 20.000 )for very low mana costs.

Same thing with the workshop. click repeatedly over the door and
you get very much wood.

With this you wont have any probs managing your villages.


Unlimited Food and Wood

The unlimited Wood trick also works to supply new buildings, especially
the big "Wonders". Right after you set the scaffolds down, invoke miracle
wood,zoom in to get a clear view, hover your hand over one corner of the
scaffold,(not what will be the door when finished), then use the mega wood
trick. You may have to try once or twice to get the right position on
the scaffold, but your minion won't use up all the wood you just put in
the village store and shop, and you can continue to build like a crazy
person, (or your minion can)......Kewl?


April Fools Trick

During the game on april 1st (April Fools Day - You can change your
computer's date to April 1st) your monster will leave smiley face foot
prints in the groung instead of their regular foot prints. Enjoy.

White Mushrooms

I'm not sure about the other types of mushrooms but the small white
ones slightly increase the growth of your creature. Keep an eye out for them!


Cast spells out of your Power

To cast spells out of your area of effect, create a town center scaffold
and move it somewhere just out of your area. When it appears it will have
a small area of effect by itself. Now pick the scaffold back up and move
it somewhere close to the town center and put it back down. When you have
it at the area you want to cast spells, cast a spell and move out of the
are of effect. As you can go a short distance from it you can cast spells
far out of your main area of effect. I am not sure if this works if you
have downloaded a patch.
