Black & White 2

so did anyone played B&W2?

i got a question relating to it

otherwise its quiet nice game

I played the first few maps but got bored.

yeh and i bet why

you can't make nice army?

No the game was easy but pure boredom for me I like either more fast-paced games or games with more tactical&strategical depth.
What was that question you wanted to ask?

I played it ALOT, quite recently actually

Tis a very good game and I had some awesome armies - Archers, Warriors and Catapults all grouped up

i really dunno how to make mass army?
every man i give to army, only few breeders, were lot of kids, but nobody grow up, so i couldn't make some bigger army o_O
i employeed only females...

Fertility statues EVERYWHERE. Lots of breeders, lots of homes/Nurseries etc etc. Look at the bonuses for everything and build accordingly. Plenty of Guides on the net too

yeh, i was in a map for like 4 hrs, but there were max childrens... i had nurserys, also the statues... but still they didn't grow up to make a prowerfull army... i mean they weren't growing up, so i lost all crop in the wh...
i tryed my best and they were happy, but kids didn't grow up... i couldn't employee people coz all were employeed :!

Use universities/nurseries etc to help 'em grow up, granaries to help with the crop, etc etc.
Thats the way to make the big armies - basically have loads of support buildings and a very impressive town; more impressive it is, the more little villages will defect to your side, and they bring ALOT of men.

yeah imigrations, but i achived impressive needed in each island...

so, apoint breeders, lot of houses and statues, nurserys and the kids should grow up?
but like i said, i maxed out childerns in the town, coz nobody grow up...

Most important: Plan the town.
Have a housing district, a town store district etc etc.
Work in "Sectors" from the town centre i.e
_B C
A O D
_F E

I did a REALLY good diagram, but the bloody posting thing deleted all the spaces So...
O= Town centre
A = Houses in neat rows, connected by roads, with Fertility Statues on every "Street"
B/C = Town Stores etc, with alot of Granaries (Mills)
D = Military Buildings
E = Universities/Nurseries
F = Public service buildings, such as bathhouses, taverns etc.

Surround the town with Temples to extend influence and hey presto! Perfect town.
With this kind of configuration you maximise the effects of things like Fertility statues etc, and guarantee alot of immigrations. Should be simple enough to raise a big army!
Universities and such ensure they grow up

yeah i know about the universities.
about Tempels, yeah i used that to extende the influence ring...

btw is it better to occupy workers on the crop field more, or in the granary? I also read that its better to make small crop fields than 1 big... and a granary in bettwen...

I still don't understand the feeding part thoo, at start got shitload of crop, but i occupy more workers and i ran out of food xD

btw, immigrants don't give you much of any army thoo :/
but am i doing right, occupy females, males are left to rally and army? Or should i occupy men too coz they work better?
