Alrighty then, after walking for 7 hours in corn and on the brink of suicide I have decided to do a Let's Play of...

Black and White 2

So, what is this game, you ask?
In a nutshell: Your a god, and your trying to restore the Greek Civilization.
The long version.
This is also my first Screeshot based LP, so please tell me how I can improve.
Alright! First things First, should I be a Evil God, where I command armies, slaughter innocent women, and eat little children start wars, and basicly create my own little personal Oceania (Read: Nineteen-Eighty four).

Or...

Should I be a kind, generous God where I heal the sick and impress other tribes to migrate to my city (?).

Which God do you wish for?

[Corai]

Kill everyone that is not yours, but be generous and merciful to your followers.


Thats my suggestion.

[Urist Imiknorris]

We have always been at war with Eurasia Eastasia.

[Jarod Cain]

Spoil your subjects, make your enemies bowels quake when your name is mentioned, eat pie.

[NRDL]

Your people are cattle, your enemies vermin.  Blood for the Blood God. 

[Teneb]

Go for eficiency, thus, evil.

While you shouldn't really torture them, do not help them either. Just lead them to victory over the infidels.

[Bluerobin]

Normally I'm all for being a goodygoody, but I like this idea:

Kill everyone that is not yours, but be generous and merciful to your followers.

[Myroc]

Being a straight-up Good Guy^TM in this game is boring because that devolves into building walls around your town then just adding buildings and decorative trees until everyone decides to abandon their homes because you have a large amount of fancy pillars. Simultaneously, being a straight up Evil Guy^TM is similarly boring because you're just wasting everything and being inefficient for no reason. Killing off all your followers for the lulz, while funny, isn't going to get you places.

So, let us be the God of Glory and Conquest. Act like you're a few centuries late, and be the Roman Empire. Spoil your people. Then simultaneously build up a war machine and conquer everyone who doesn't belong to your people, then incorporate them into your culture. Semi-spoil them too. Grabbing settlements and small villages through impressiveness is fine, but the more major villages should be conquered. This includes the last city, because seriously, winning through impressiveness is far, far, far too easy compared to taking them by force.

[Bluerobin]

Yeah, I remember accidentally taking some villages through impressiveness a few times, actually. I should figure out if I still have my discs somewhere...

[Neyvn]

So many times did I win via Impressiveness while building my army for that final showdown. Each time I am in the process of leading my Armies through the gate when suddenly all their citizens flock to mine to join us. I was like.... Awww...

Go for Big Cities, Big Armies...

[Svarte Troner]

Breed out all your Greek citizens with Norsemen when you get the chance. _{^{Boy did I just sound like a nazi there.}}

HEIL SVARTE !
On a more serious note can we have dibs on villagers ?

[chewie]

First, heal the sick and impress other tribes to migrate to your city and then basically create your own little personal Oceania.

[kaian-a-coel]

I +1 those above. Be kind with your citizens, and crush everyone else with brute strenght.

[Naryar]

The main idea suggested in this thread is good. Treat your citizens with respect and fairness, give them nice towns to live in, and conquer and pillage the shit out of other civilizations. Same with your creature. Make it help and care for your villagers, but a terrifying warrior in it's own right. Creature fights are far too cool to pass.

Besides, not only the conquest game is far more exciting, the evil buildings are far cooler, but we're DF players, and the very epitome of videogame evil.

Wait, did I not mentioned the utter awesomeness that are the three evil wonders compared to the only good wonder ? Sure the good wonder is very useful and pragmatic, but the evil ones are extremely awesome.

It's really like Lionhead really agrees with evil being cooler than good.
