Game Bugs Encountered
----------------------------------------------------------------
>
Note!!!
This is a list of all the bugs i have either heard about on different forums
Or i've encountered myself.
If you've found bugs that i haven't listed here please mail me.
From: lowriematt@hotmail.com
Info on solving installation problems
1. Go to the control panel
2. Go to the system icon
3. click on performance tab
4. click on file system and on the hard drive tab put your read ahead
the farthest possible left on the slide bar(no read ahead). click ok.
5. stay in the system-performance area and click on graphics button
and then move the slide bar to only basic accelerator function(2nd to
last on left).
Press OK.
6. Click apply and you should have to restart.
7. Install by going to the control panel and clicking the add/remove
programs. Click install.
8. after installation you should be able to reverse my steps and run in
regular setup.
On Level 5 there is a bug when your creature gets cursed:
The curse makes your creature shrink down almost to the size of a villager
and it'll stay like this everytime you play in Singleplayer,skirmish or anything.
This curse will not go away even if you finish the game and there isn't a way to
solve it until the release of the patch which is expected in the next week.
The game has a problem working on a drive other than C there isn't a way to correct
this as far as i know other than changing your drive letter.
Some people have managed to get the game working when it is installed on another drive
but then they have a problem saving or the game becomes corrupt after a few hours play.
As far as I know there is no way to fix this.
Some people have had problems when there creature is leashed to them whilst they complete
the rock
chucking contest on the first land.In some cases the creature dissapears completely and
for other people
everything but its shadow vanished.There is away to fix this apparently if you give your
animal a villager
there is a chance that he will come back this doesn't always work though.
If you have encountered this problem please tell me what video card you were using at the
time.
Some people have reported that all of the games textures are screwed up if you have this
problem please
mail me with your video card make.
In land 1 some people have encountered problems with the quest where you save the drowning
fishermen.
Apparently after they've gotten everyone onto land some of the villagers continue to drown
and this of
course means that they fail the quest.This seems to be a random bug when your creature
takes them out but
it always happens when you use your own hand. (it is a bug if you are able to use your
hand at all)
On Land 4 in the if you try to sacrifice one of the wandering skeleton villagers they will
get stuck in the
sacrifice dish thing.This does happen but not very often.
Some people have reported not being able to get there creatures to drink at all.In fact
instead of consuming
water the stupid animals walk on it!
Sometimes when you zoom out really far your consience will report which way your village
is situated and
then fail to dissapear.The only way to get rid of him is to restart your game.
Some people have failed to install the game at all if you know a way to solve this please
mail me.
Many people get a black screen a few seconds into the game (after the lionhead logo
appears) you can
either use Defroster to get rid of this or disable all sound options under the black &
white setup options
menu.
Some peoples savegames have become corrupt after the end of level 2 if this has happened
to you please
mail me and give me the specifics.
After about ten minutes of play the game just quits without an error message of any kind.
This seems quite rare but it does happen i don't know how to fix it though.
After capturing a town fireworks will appear at one of your old villages this doesn't seem
to cause any other
problems though.
On some systems the game crashes when displaying any of the games cutscenes Defroster
seems to fix this
though.

Frequently Asked Questions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE
At the moment this section only contains questions that  i've seen on the boards
if people ask me a question alot though i will obviously add it to this section.
Where can i get my grubby paws on Defroster?
Go to www.planetblackandwhite.com to download it ( 2.2 mb)
What is the point of the ' Future Room ' ?
The ' Future  Room ' doesn't do anything at the moment but in the Future (excuse the pun
)
It will hopefully display a list of all the possible downloadable upgrades for the game.
I left my computer on Black & White for 12 hours and my creature hasn't grown one bit!?
Your creature needs proper nourishment to flourish and this means that most of the time
leaving your pc on (especially if you have dumb creature ) won't do you any good.
In The first level walkthrough you mention having a Lion, how did you get it!?
Once you get it on the fifth stage you can go back and choose it on level 1 or you could
just hack it using the wonderful info from voodooextreme.com which can be found in this
guide.

ask me to do so in your email
>From shancez@another.com
The bug with fishermen on the first level:
Because it's a challenge they can drown in any water, including 1cm deep water, so you
have
to put them near the grass to do any help at all.
How to kill Guru/Yogi
I know it's being good,but build loads of wondersand and you can pick him up, he hangs
around inside
his temple,but you can still pick him up and toss him around a little.If you don't want to
complete the
challenge, and your careful, you can send your creature to go and eat him.

Help with dissapearing textures
"The 'screwed up' textures problem affects voodoo series cards. This is easily fixed by
experimenting with  different driver kits. Certain driver  kits and versions of 3dfxtools
can
cause this to occur.There is no definite driver kit to sort this, just uninstall your card
software fully and install a different version until it goes away. This problem usually
effects
other D3D programs, for example rollcage 1/2 and the ultraHLE N64 emulator. This is the
only
fix for this 'bug'... more a driver problem than anything to do with the game."
If anyone knows anything interesting that i haven't mentioned in my
guide, please mail me?
I will be eternally grateful

The game works perfectly on my machine but I encountered problems running it on this
configuration
Pentium 3 500mhz
64mb Ram
32x CD
32mb ATI 3D ( not a Radeon)
Win ME
The game crashed frequently but i think the cause was probably one of the following
things:
64mb Ram which isn't really enough to run this game nicely
ATI 3D
Win ME can 'cause problems with games if it doesn't like something on your pc
The CD Drive caused alot of problems with ME before i managed to get it working
Another machine that i didn't have problems with was this config
Celeron Coppermine 500mhz
128mb Ram
24x CD
32mb Voodoo 5 5500
Win 98 SE
As you can see it has a healthy amount of ram which this game seems to need to run nicely
The Voodoo is a much better 3D chip
Teac CD Drive didn't have any problems and i easily got it running
Windows 98 is much more compatible than ME when it comes to gaming
If anyone has encountered problems with their systems please send me the specs
and i will include them here

The Creatures
> <
Please note that I don't support hacking your
creatures skin via the method given in my guide
and if you mess up it is your problem I only
included it to get people to stop asking about
this.
> <
A challenges section describing how to unlock all of
the different creatures will be included at a later date.
The Ape
The Ape is the most intelligent creature in the game and is perfect for someone who wants
to play a passive game.
This is one of the first three creatures you'll be able to get your grubby paws on.
Brown Bear
The Brown Bear isn't particularly intelligent, but its other attributes make up for this.
This creature is effective when physically assaulting enemy land but it takes alot of
effort to get it to learn spells due to the fact that it isn't to smart.
This is a good creature for either good or evil players.
This creatures has to be unlocked with the completion of a challenge.
Chimp
I'm still busy experimenting with the Chimp, but so far it seems to be one of the more
intelligent creatures.
> From what i've seen it isn't bad in combat and even though i am in no doubt that the
ape is still the brightest of the animals the Chimp isn't that far off.
You can unlock the chimp on the third island.
Cow
The Cow is a great starting creature for any passive player due to its gentle nature and
decent intelligence.
This is one of the first creatures that you get.
Gorilla
After playing with the Gorilla for a while i've come to the conclusion that the only thing
lacking
with this creature is its intelligence which doesn't appear to be exceptional by any
stretch of the
imagination.
To activate this creature you must download an activation file from one of the following
sites:
www.planetblackandwhite.com
www.bwcenter.com
www.bwgame.com
After you've done this goto the special creature hut on the first or fourth island and
exchange your
current animal.
Horse
I haven't experimented with this creature enough to comment to much but it seems just like
a real life horse
with the stats you'd expect from this animal.Decent intelligence,fast runner,reasonable
strength etc.
Just like the Gorilla you have to download the activation file to get this creature
working.
Leopard
Whilst this creature isn't to bright it definetly has its plus points with great speed and
fantastic combat
reaction times.In fact the only real problem with this beast is that just like the Tiger
it is a complete and
utter idiot.
This creature requires an activation file.
Lion
My personal favourite the Lion along with the Ape is probably the best all round
creature.
This guy has Fantastic strength, he's pretty good in one on one combat,he's quick and you
definetly can't
say anything bad on the intelligence front.
This creature has to be unlocked via the completion of a quest
Mandrill
I haven't experimented with this creature enough yet the one thing i can say though is
Boy is this one ugly SOB!!!
This creature needs an activation file
From: bhutchy23@home.com
I've been experimenting with the mandrill and I rather like him. He is a lot
smarter than the gorilla and nearly as strong. Over all a very well-rounded
creature, much like the lion only one step down in every aspect. Best thing
about him is he has natural tendencies towards evil. He learns evil actions
much quicker than good ones. Of all the creatures I've had time to
experiment with, the mandrill ranks up as one of the most evil creatures in
the game.
I didn't see anything in your FAQ about natural tendencies, but I have
definitely noticed some creatures are just more evil than others. It took me
forever to get my cow to be evil, but only a few hours to get my mandrill
totally evil. That didn't make sense because they have the same
intelligence. Until I get some more solid info on this I just assume a
creatures nature by what he is. From what I've noticed creatures are
generally what you would expect them to be based on their real life animals
(cow & sheep good, tiger & leopard evil).
Ogre
You can unlock this creature using the guide on hacking in this faq.
Try this at your own risk.
Polar Bear
This could've been the best creature in the game if they'd just made it more intelligent.
As it stands this creature is probably always going to be chosen on the basis of looks
rather
than statistics.
It's a pitty really.
This creature is unlocked via a challenge
Rhino
The Rhino activation file is not yet available for download.
Keep checking the net though 'cause it is expected any day now!
Sheep
This Creature is just not good enough on any front with a lack of intelligence and general
strength.
There really isn't anything that stands out when talking about the sheep and i'd say it's
best left alone.
You need to complete a quest to unlock this animal.
Tiger
One Word :
DUUUUUUUMB!
The Tiger is easily the dumbest creature in the game and the Lion is so much better in
almost every area
including strength.
The number one dumbass is selectable at the start of the game.
Tortoise
I haven't tested this animal.
You have to unlock this creature via the completion of a challenge.
Wolf
Except for mediocre intelligence this is a pretty decent creature and it looks really cool
when it is evil.
You'll have to complete a challenge.
Zebra
I haven't tried this animal yet.
If you have please mail me.
I suspect that it is a very intelligent horse.
You need to complete a challenge to unlock.

How to Raise Your Creature
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
----------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goto
http://www.bwmaps.cjb.net/
To get nice "sandbox" type maps to train your creature
These work very nicely because of the lack of enemies
and loads of one shot miracles can be found everywhere.
If you are interested in joining a clan for evil creatures goto
http://www.creaturesofdeathmegaarmy.homestead.com/
and apply for a place.Just make sure your creature isn't nice!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alot of these actions are considered good, so obviously
if you want to be evil you should just do the evil alternative
mentioned or just attempt the opposite
If you have any other info please mail me
The game keeps track of what your creature believes and what you teach it about things.
Everything that happens to your creature revolves around a few basic principles.
Greed is different to Need thus if he is hungry, he is eating purely because he feels like
it but
if he is low on energy then it is regarded as a good action due to the fact that he really
needs nourishment.
Other examples are:
When your drinks because it is dehydrated, it is a need so it isn't considered greedy
When your creature drinks just for the hell of it, it's ovibiously being greedy and
greed=evil!
You should only let your creature eat when he is around 75% hunger, otherwise it is
considered over
indulgence
Be very careful about stroking your creature after eating, because this can encourage him
to eat more often.
You should encourage your creature to be curious, because this makes it easier to teach
him things.
Some people that I know consider encouraging curiosity to be a good action and due to this
when they play
evil they will smack their titan instead of praising it.
Do not go over the top when punishing your creature, because even if you are evil you
don't want it to
resent you.
If you don't smack it enough though it is more than likely that it'll begin to disrespect
you and this isn't a
good
thing.
Also the creatures make alot of decisions based on their personal belief system so if you
have a tiger, you
shouldn't
go over the top when it eats a villager because it naturally considers this a good
action.
You must also be careful when telling your creature not to poop on things, because this
can have a very bad
affect.
In some cases people has reported that there titan has stopped doing its business
altogether,and even though
it hasn't
been proven this could be detrimental to it's health.
If your creature takes food from your people it is an evil action, but if you do it
yourself it is considered
neutral or good.
It is considered evil when:
Your creature takes sheep from a villager's flock
Eats fish that are in an area that has been claimed by a villager
Steals food from a field
And when it eats the remains of dead villagers and/or their animals
It is considered good or neutral when:
Your creature takes food from the village store
Eats wandering animals which don't belong to any particular villager
You take food for it
It casts miracles and eats the food from them
The more your creature fights, the better he will become at it
There are a few ways to make your titan more adept at fighting:
Engage in more skirmishes with rival creatures
Beat him yourself (with your hand)
Make sure he sleeps in his pen
Give him good long walks up steep hills and mountains
Make him carry rocks and other heavy objects around
Get him to play beachball (you get a ball on Level 1)
Get him to throw stones-this is also a good offensive action for evil players
Smack him if he gets frightened-this will reduce the chance of losing a fight
Tips on making your creature grow nice and big
----------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure it gets plenty of rest
Make it sleep in it's pen
Keep it's strength up
Make sure it's fat is at 50% or maybe slightly more
Don't let it get too fat because this isn't good for it's growth
Try not to do too many miracles because this detracts from it's energy levels
and it needs energy to grow.
Pay it loads of attention
Try to avoid letting it faint from exhaustion or damage because this may stunt
it's growth.
Let it rest at night
When feeding it force it to eat alot and then slowly start feeding it slightly less
until you are satisfied with the amount it is eating and it's fat levels
Naturally meat is more fattening than grain and fish just like in real life
If you know anymore on creature growth please mail me

Patching the Game
It seems that quite a few people have had
problems finding it on planetblackandwhite
if this is the case,read the details below.
This requires the download of DeFroster from
www.planetblackandwhite.com
The Download is 2.2 mb and you'll will need winrar or another zipping utility to extract
it.
Once extracted make sure you have 200mb free hd space because the setup will extract
certain files to your
harddisk.
After installation just run the game and your problems should be solved.
If they aren't then you'll just have to wait for the release of the official patch.
Many people seem to be having problems finding the files so here is an extract from the
readme telling you
how to do it manually:
"***OPTION A: (Manual: Move the audio files yourself)***
1) Insert Black & White CD-ROM
2) Open up two explorer windows
3) In the first window, locate the audio directory on your Black & White CD-ROM (ex.
E:\Audio)
4) In the second window, locate the Black & White install directory (Default:
"C:\Program
Files\Lionhead Studios Ltd\Black & White")
5) Drag the Audio directory from your CD-ROM (e:\audio) and drop it into the same
directory
where the audio directory is on your hard drive (C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios
Ltd\Black & White")
Notes:
*You are essentially moving 222MB of music
files and placing them on your hard disk.
*Drop the audio directory from the CD-ROM
ALONGSIDE, not directly ON TOP of the audio
directory on your hard disk.
6) Hit "YES To All", when you see this: "This folder already contains a folder named
'Audio.'
7) Hit "YES To All" to any other copy messages.
8) It takes approximately 3-12 minutes to copy the files depending on the speed of
your CD-
ROM."

Playing Evil
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------
-------------------
Some people may say playing evil is easy, but its not!
In fact if you don't think properly about your next devious deed you can ruin the whole
level for yourself.
I've been playing evil since i bought the game and i've got to say that it is much more
fun than being good
( well at least until they release the patch that makes micromanagement slightly easier
).
I plan to make this guide as indepth as possible and because of this it might take a while
for me to fill in all
of the islands.Currently i'm  analysing level 4 and I hope to have my guide for it up
within the next week.
Until then happy reading!!!
From: bhutchy23@home.com
You know
how the game tells you if you give your creature a one-shot miracle he'll
cast it right away, but it never seems to work that way? Most people say he
has to know the miracle first. Still others say its totally random whether
or not he casts it. Well the truth is one-shot miracles and miracle
dispensers work just like everything else in the game. The creature has to
learn how to use them by watching you pick them up and cast them. Once he
has learned to use them a whole new world of opportunity opens. If your
creature doesn't know the miracle you give to him he will try to cast it. Of
course he will fail since he doesn't know the miracle, but his % in learning
that miracle goes up just as if he had watched you do it. This is great
because you don't have to worry about whether or not he is paying any
attention to you casting it. Also once he has learned the miracle he will
cast it using his own energy, then if he still feels like casting he will
grab the miracle off the dispenser on his own and use it. Now there is
nothing wrong with your creature using one-shots that are in your influence,
but there is opportunity for evil here. If your creature comes across a
dispenser or one-shot miracle while outside your influence he may grab it.
Comes up on the creature help as "your creature wants to steal". If you let
him (or encourage him) he will grab the miracle and run like hell back to
your temple, then set the miracle down and go back to whatever he was doing.
I was raining hell down on an enemy village in a skirmish game and next
thing I know there are half a dozen one-shot miracles in my creature's pen.
That was with the tiger too! Imagine what kind of damage an intelligent
creature could do!
Not on the evil side, but definitely cool: I taught my creature to poop on
his fallen victims after combat. This is easiest to teach on the first
island. Your creature considers all other creatures as the same thing for
the most part. So when he had to poop I clicked on the creature guide (since
he is one of the only creatures that will just stand there), then gave him a
good rub afterwards. After doing that once or twice he learned that it is
good to poop on other creatures. Since he can't do it while fighting, he
does it after (supposing of course that he needs to, but that is easily
arranged). There really is nothing better than watching my creature beat the
**** out of someone then give it all back.
Level I
You may think that because this is a tutorial level you can't be really really evil, but
on the contrary this
island is
great for teaching your creature all of those nasty tricks!
Just by playing this stage for a few hours, by the time i got to the second level my
Citadel had massive
nasty spikes with
bats flying around it and my creature was starting to grow teeth and nails that could
decapitate an Elephant!
Here are a few of the things that i did on this level to be very very evil:
When my creature picked up Sable and threw her instead of smacking him i gave him a good
stroke and a
villager as a reward.
I then put the leash of aggression on him and we had a nice game of villager catch.
After the stupid woman said that she'd taught me everything that she knew about animals i
thought what's
the point of keeping her
alive and promptly fed her to my drooling Lion.
When my consciences told me to try chucking stones at the rock pile instead of doing that
, I used the leash
of learning and chucked them
at a nearby cottage instead!
Needless to say my creature started joining in and pretty soon after that the little abode
was nothing more
than a pile of smoking rubble!
So onto the fishermen saving quest, what may i ask is the fun in saving a bunch of dumb
villagers who
spend their lives catching food and
drinking gin!?
Well after that woman rather bluntly told me to save her husband and his friends i decided
that i wasn't
going to tolerate her insolence and I
chucked her loved ones into the sea! She then went on at me saying that she wasn't going
to forget this and
i thought screw this promptly hurling her into the waves as well!
Since I'd already unlocked the rather boring, tedious sheep i didn't really see the point
in doing it all over
again so my creature ate quite well that night with the farmer making a good pudding.
(even if he was
rather full of gristle)
The Hermit was irritating me, so i dropped a rock on his head and those stupid titantic
imposters shutup
quite nicely when i hurled them back into the sea! (it seems they didn't need a boat after
all)
Now it was time for my creature to learn the art of contamination.
After  I fed him six cows,three children and a rather overweight woman he made a rather
large poop.
Now we couldn't just have that piece of crap lying around 'cause it would just be a waste
(even though it
did seem to give the villagers a
sudden urge to bring up their breakfast.)
So being my creative self i put my creatures leash on and promptly hurled the warm soggy
brownies into
the village storage!
I don't know why but the little people didn't seem to like it?!
A small price to pay for my lion to learn a new trick though.
After you've done all of the aformentioned things a few times your world should start
looking very evil
indeed.
Good Job!
Level II
<
Aaaaaaah!
Level II and a whole load of new people to torment!!
This is where micromanagement comes in and being evil you wouldn't want to satisfy your worshippers
needs would you?!
A lovely new ability makes an appearance in this level along with spells, the chance to sacrifice your
minions!!!
You wake up in the morning and what better way to start the day than by sacrificing a newborn child in
front of its parents!!!
Watch them scream and beg as their little one perishes within a burning furnace of flames!!
That got their belief in you back pretty quickly didn't it?!
Use your creatures poop supplying tricks to bring even more pain to your people's digestive systems before
you burn them with
a well timed fireball!
There are other tribes in this land as well, and that means more pain can be caused than ever before!!
At one point you will be given the chance to save some villagers who've been poisoned by their own food,
but being evil you're not going to
help them are you!? No, it's a far better idea to let them perish as you giggle with glee and when every one
of them is dead steal the bad consumables and utilise them in your evil ways!
This level ends with your creature getting captured by your foe but as you leave the island don't take your
followers; leave them to suffer and starve in a crumbling world instead!!!
From:  bhutchy23@home.com
It is considered a majorly evil act if you take over Khazar's main village on the second
island. As soon as I took over his main village Blackie came up and said to
"look out the window for a full moon tonight", and it has been there every
night since. I wasn't even very evil at the time (a few small spikes on the
temple is all), and still wasn't very evil after. I assume its an Easter egg
since I never noticed any kind of moon before. Special treat for the
betrayal or am I just unobservant? Blackie hinted that the moon will turn
blood red eventually when I am evil enough, but I'm not there yet
Level III
>
Oh shame, your poor creature's been captured!
Make the most of it, because this is your only chance to show any sort of compassion in
the whole game!
There aren't many quests on this land, but the ones that are featured can be quite
useful.
On a small island across the way from your citadel there is a hill, on top of this sits a
Yogi.
(No Not the bear you idiot!!)
He tells you not to follow him but you're evil so stuff him!
This can be quite difficult, but once you've successfully chased all the way he'll give
you some rather useful
help.
1)After you've claimed the first village Lethys will set your villagers on fire (Burn Baby
Burn!!) and the
Yogi will
give you some water miracles to put them out. Of course if you're truly evil like me,
you should forget
about helping
them, grab some popcorn and watch the fireworks!
2)After you claim the second village Lethys will send a pack of wolves in and the Yogi
will help you again.
Now if the wolves devoured your villagers, i'd encourage you to leave them , but
unfortunately they don't
so use those
fire miracles to burn the forest as they run through it and enjoy the steak!!
3)Finally, he supplies you with the blueprints for a wonder.
Wonders are for goodie goodie's but if you want you can construct it. (Don't say i said
it was a good idea)
After you've captured the third village, you will be able to visit an old hag's hut,
situated near to your newly
aquired establishment.
She says that she can give the power of youth to the old, and if you bring her three or
more adults to
transforms she gets dizzy.
When this happens bring her a little boy and she'll make a mistake, luckily this error
gets you a secret
creature. A Chimp.
You shouldn't use it though 'cause it likes to be good EEEEEEEEW!
To help you with all of your villager-destroying tactics there is a little man situated
near a waterfall close to
your village.
If you zoom in you'll hear his cries of "You can't hurt me!" and "Please don't throw me
around?!" and you
shouldn't have any
problems spotting him sitting next to a campfire.Even though he's very irritating he can
actually be quite
useful, since wherever you
throw him he creates an area of influence which obviously helps when it comes to village
wrecking.
When you're done with him, prove to him that only you are immortal by sacrificing him,
this doesn't always
work but when it does it bags
you a whole load of prayer points! ( of course all of the good gods would miss out on
this!
HAAAAHAAA)
After you've done all of this claim the last village to finish the level, just don't
forget to beat the **** out of
Chugworth first!
Level IV ( coming when patch is released )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason that I'm waiting for the patch is that
until it is released there is no point in progressing
past level four because of a bug listed in my guide
that destroys your creatures  growth and strength
permanently.If you wish to submit your own strategy
for the level please do, but I won't be updating mine
until i feel an adequate patch has been released.
