I also found out how to train any creature spell up to 100% using only a single expenditure of mana, and how to raise the dead (well, sort of...  They were a little dodgy, to be perfectly honest).

Uh... do tell?

I literally "found" my disk earlier this morning. I'd be up for a multiplayer, too.

Build a spell dispenser or whatever they are called, drop your spell on it to make a one-shot miracle. Grab (not tap) the bubble and hand it over to your creature, it should partly learn the spell as if you had casted it. Make sure to make it drop before it actually cast it or eat it... stupid tiger. Rinse and repeat until it reaches 100%.

B&W1 and 2 were both definitely good games. B&W2 with its strangely good but out of place city-building and such, particularly the boring creature training mechanics, wasn't nearly so good as B&W1. I don't think I ever made it past the island with the meteors, though, and I never knew about enchanting artifacts and decorating worship areas for a bonus.. I might have to reinstall the game, but I've got a long backlog of games to be played beforehand.

So where could one buy this game?

Yep, that's the stuff.  So far as I could tell, that was pretty much the only use for those things, since they refused to actually generate new bubbles on their own.  I think the creature may even have learned the spell faster that way.

I really can't see why you'd teach your critter mega blast though...  Sure, the bragging rights are great, but it's awfully expensive in terms of fatigue and hunger, the creature can quite easily get caught in the blast (of course, I've had creatures unload an entire blast of lightning into themselves, so...), and it takes frikkin' years to get them to learn it all the way.  And for all that, there's not much more accomplished than what a good ol' lightning spell or a couple fireballs could whip up.

I mean, if I'm going to utterly demolish a town with an upgraded megablast storm...  I want to have the honor of doing it myself.


I think I made a critter eat a spell bubble one time...  I don't think it went over all that well.

Well, put it like this. Steam doesn't have it, Good Old Games doesn't have it, and even the EA Store doesn't carry it. So you may have to pursue other avenues. Or Amazon/Ebay.

Like I said, I lost my disk and full demoed the game. I still had my CD key so I didn't feel bad doing it, but.... it is way to hard to find a copy nowadays.

Well actually, I built them next to the level warp portal, siphoning my excess mana into water, food, health and wood miracles for use on the other end.

Does anyone want to try to set up a game using hamachi? I just want to know if it will work, and if it will, maybe we will play a small skirmish game or something.

EDIT: Network: B12B&W (will show up as B12BW when actually connected)

Sadness.

Also, I see your edit.
