haha, nice name!

i completed black & white today, the last level is level five. i was very disappointed that it was over so quickly. i think the game was a great idea, but it required too much micro-management. with some knob continually shouting "need food", "need wood" etc.

any online game i played was with zero, and all we did it for was to fight our creatures. i mean who wants to be off getting village belief? the game could go on for days by the time you have impressed them all. fuck that, just kill them all with lightening and then lob a missionary in there. sorted. gg.

but you do end up with a big red hand.

i can't see myself playing any more of that. back to starcraft.

game over.

I found it a bit of a disapointment myself when i played it through.I havent finished it yet but i could do so at any time - ive just been taking things slowly but to be honest you run out of things to do and it becomes soooo boring too quickly. After you've completed all the little mini tasks basically whats left is the micro-management of the towns which is AWFULL or tend to your creature if you have any time left.

I'd love to know too who actually beta tested this game - tis a bit of a shambles. There are so many fatal bugs + annoying alignment bugs which just ruin the game even further.

The only thing that stops me from giving up on the game completly though is the creature - when you have the time its great teaching it new things and seeing it change and grow.

The red hand is pretty nice - but the temple is even better when evil

ps - there is a tapping technique which lets you get more wood / food each time you cast the relevent spell which significantly cuts done the time you have to spend minding villages. Just place your hand over a high part of a structure (say the entrance of the store) and then click like mad. Tis a bug worth keeping in my opinion
