Well in the history I'm role playing, Moscowy is an aggressive, expansionist power that is proving a force to be feared in the East, which is looking to sink it's claws into the West once I can re-stabilize my Empire after a nasty multi-front war I'm recovering from/finishing off.

Hah! America doesn't exist yet! And if I expand fast enough, it might not get a chance...

Been playing a lot of Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots... the games I finished up this morning ended up dividing the globe 75-25 between me and Korea. I ended up not even having to fight them once. It took me a while to take out the British, and the last empire I took down were the Nubians, who didn't even have their capital defended. WEEEAK!

Gah, I hated Black and White 1. That dumb animal never learned, and I could never build the buildings I wanted... I didn't even bother to get the second one.

Well in BW2 you can select what action you want to praise it or smack it silly on the first time the little thought bubble pops out of his head, basically it's going between strike force and teddy bear (I like how impressive 10 tons of charging, snowy, lupine RAGE looks going at the walls). I don't know about buildings in the first one, you had god building right? My only grief is how much wonders cost, you sacrifice a good deal of city interactivity for even the Siren. It's nice though to completely subvert my enemies wonders with a simple shield spell. (Which also works well to toss enemy soldiers a few 100 feet breaking their necks :twisted: )

I read that B&W1 was a lot better, but I've only played 2.

Didn't the first one have online play, and more creatures, and creatures that weren't total robots at that? And a better story?

But didn't it also not let you make armies?

Also, I think that maybe the reason the creature never learns is because it's a dumbass. Pick a smarter creature.

With the first game, I never played the storyline. I just had fun casting spells with the cursor and teaching my creature that farms are where poops go.

I got Tiger Woods today, made a pretty damn accurate portrayal of myself. I had hair all over the place, a 5 O'Clock shadow because I often forget to shave, It even got my gut right. I even suck at golf!

Well not really, I was playing about par until the batteries started dying on my Wiimote and it would take the shot from however far I had it back before it lost comunications... Also at first the announcers were comforting, the crowd was cheering, happy to be watching a game that watching is typically more boring than watching paint dry.

Then as the game went on, the crowd started to sound like they were going to take me out back and browbeat me, and the announcers were complete and utter assholes...

Pretty accurate... Fun too.

Does it allow you to toss your club at said announcer for saying I suck like I did to a freind of mine.

No I wasn't trying to hit him and it was a putter so he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Also I like to turn on the radio while playing... I know the backgound sounds are supposed to be realistic, but I don't think airplanescount as good videogame music.

What good are the clubs if you can't use them to beat the shit out of people?

There should be a sidescrolling fighter minigame!

I picked the tiger. The cow and the ape can go to hell!

It was a nice tiger, just... Dumb. I could never get it to do what I wanted it to.

And in the first one you made buildings by stacking these Building Box things that were a pain in the ass to do. Instead of making Stadiums and stuff, the best I could make is two boxes into a Large House before I couldn't stack any more.

Yeah, there's your problem right there. The Tiger is the jock of the animal kingdom. The ape and cow are the smart ones.

Granted, I wouldn't choose them either. Well, maybe I'd choose the cow if I was going on the good path and I felt like it.

...

...the only reason I haven't started playing with all the animals is the fact that I cannot skip the thrice accursed intro.

And the building thing sounds difficult. B&W2 you just have the buildings and you feed them trees and ore rocks. Or have your creature/villagers build them.

...

...My wolf has ADD, I swear.

This reminds me, Creature combat in B&W1 is much superior to B&W2. First off, you can't control the creature. Can't have it block or attack, just gotta leave it off to fend for itself... maybe throw in a few miracles, but in such close combat you're gonna hit them both, whether it's with healing or fire.

Tiger is a "secret" animal, you need special edition or unlocker (download off the web easily) to get it. And when it fights you it's hella cheap.

B&W2 sucks, but it's addictive as hell.
