Kapa1611 is pretty much right. It's just when you have an excess of population, i.e. more people than there are jobs to satisfy, you'll have "lazy" villagers. They're basically just spares.  As memory serves, even if you raised the totem in your village centre to max, the worship site seems to...

The name Wintigers does ring a bell from those days but I was never really in contact with him.  Hope you manage to re-connect.

As you say, the game had many versions during development.  Unfortunately, as was the case with many games made by Lionhead, they had to cut short development due to financial constraints. In B&W2's case, they were arranging for the company to be bought out and this would have secured their...

My memory's a little hazy on this, but I don't think there is any mechanism in-game to switch to the gorilla.  You may need to use a creature changer tool. Something else to look at though.  I seem to recall some conditional logic around the Mandarin.  One of the creatures available to for...

Hmm, assuming this is before you manage to free your creature on Land 3, I can't really offer much advice on that one. But in the spirit of trolling, I will offer this other tip for keeping an enemies creature distracted in general.  Just attach your creature with the leash of kindness to the...

It can be a bit buggy at the best of times.  But as memory serves, if you zoom into the fight enough, the controls should kick in.

Agreed.  My first few playthroughs of Land 5 were quite similar. Land 5 made for a good conclusion.  However, I wouldn't have minded the story taking a few more zig-zags on the way there via some other lands. Something that lets you feel like you've built up enough power to actually take on...

Ya.  Playing good was much harder (but more rewarding I found).  That said, I was easily hoping for at least twice as many lands (with good amounts of story in them) to give a much more epic experience.

True to an extent.  But when I first played through, I was not long after playing a Final Fantasy game.  So I was used to more drawn-out stories and it felt like B&W was shaping up to be something similar (albeit perhaps not as dramatic as FF). What I got was good.  I just wanted so much more!

Agree totally.  Which always made me feel a little cheated when I discovered Land 5 was the final level :( .

Just to add that once the plan for the wonder appears, you can pick up the artifact any time after that and use it again for another wonder. Keep in mind though that these giant structures will require a lot of wood.

I second S_Phil1690's opinion.  Seeing screenies like that gives me notions of trying to play the game again on my laptop.

Welcome to the forums GpaS.

Few things are as therapeutic as a good, healthy rant. However, I may be able to help.  As someone who's useless at modding, I've found myself to be not that much helpful these years.  But on these kind of problems, I think I can get you back on track. In general, it's always been much harder...

Sad news.  But it's not like we haven't heard much output from Lionhead in the last while.
