Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices.
The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer?
Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as rivers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction.
Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality.
Hello everyone,
finally I would like to present the new 1.8 version of the Redux version to you. Yet again the 1.8 update will be the biggest so far and features 1 new land, new and changed landscapes to the campaign lands, overhauled AI, new music and many other awesome features!

This update features many, many landscape updates. On most lands something was added, other lands were scrapped completely and replaced by new ones created by members of the Community. In this article I would like to present the new last Norse land landscape (Created by VandalBlueX) and the landscape for a completely new land in the campaign (Created by Bill).
One of the first tasks was to overhaul the AI. The goal was to make the opponent less predictable, more fun to play against and to make the AI system more efficient so that crashes and other annoyances are reduced. The AI will now get gradually harder with the Norse being the easiest and the enemy god the most difficult. The AI will now merge and split its platoons in different occasions in order to fill up almost empty platoons are start are more "chaotic" attack on the player. The AI will now attack and build buildings depending on the player alignment and generally will react much better to the actions of the player.
Something different are the new vortex scripts which allow you to take ressources and people from one land to another - as it was in Black & White 1. The vortex scripts was developed by Black & White Community Member Bill and continued/implemented into Redux by Boxhead.
In order to keep the game balanced the amount what you can take over to each land has been limited, the current limits are as the following:
I also want to give a shout out to Vociferous Music for her amazing music compositions in this mod!
We always listened and read the bug reports. We were able to squash many bugs which the 1.7.1 scripts of Redux had. Below you can find the changelog but not all changes were documented this time resulting into a much smaller changelog than it deserved to be. You can also find the changelog in the forum:

Thank you for this awesome mod
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much for this, this game is my frigging childhood!
Hi, does this mod get the game to work on windows 10 or does it require fan patches?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
hey guys! Black and White is a wonderfull game and im curious about if you are going to release this mod soon o.o
It's such a pity games like these have to die with time.
It would have been great to see well developed mods for this game, fixes, new creatures, maps, miracles, etc. Does anyone still play this from time to time?
I DO
Yes sir I agree 100%!!
I do. Just been playing through it again, as of Dec 2012. Still a great game with graphics that were ahead of its time.
Yeah I install it from time to time, it is a great game, but black and white 1 is better IMO
anyone having graphical issues like being able to see through items and what not?
I had that problem too, what helped me was running the game in compatibility mode set to Windows 98/ME
Graphics problem mentioned with missing squares in the landscape was due to number of cpu processors. Open task manager when game is running and set processor affinity on white.exe to be checked on CPU 0 & CPU 1 only. Go back to game and see if fixed.
i do ... can't seem to do anything about it :( ! I've been searching around for fixes but , seems like it's a hardware problem ! i mean , i have a pretty good rig , thats the problem it may seem !
