| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | From IGN.COM ... The idea behind the sequel is that the world has moved on. The villagers have a little bit more technology now, and they're more warlike. Fighting has broken out between the tribes. As a god, you're stuck in the middle of the ensuing war, and you have to choose which side you want to support. "I really like the idea of these huge, quite vicious wars going on, and you as a god returning to this land that you left in peace at the end of Black & White having to choose a side," explains Peter. You'll be able to help your side through the use of miracles, sending your creature into battle, and constructing useful buildings or walls to protect your chosen tribe. Although not a traditional RTS in the sense that you will be able to control every unit in the battle, Peter did say that Black & White 2 will include several traditional RTS elements, although he wasn't ready to go into specifics at the time of the announcement. While nothing is set in stone at this point, Peter did mention that he would like to have a system where you set up chosen villagers as leaders who will take your tribe into battle and, in his words, he sees Black & White 2 being "much more bloody and vicious" than the original. Your creature will again play a big part in the game, and you'll be able to bring over your creature's mind and alignment from the original, making him extremely useful even in the early stages of the game. Like you, he will also be able to build structures such as fortifications to defend your followers, and will be able to use tools and weapons as well. Following in the "sex and violence" spotlight of the Lionhead announcements today (and hey, who doesn't like sex and violence?), Lionhead is also planning on having a full breeding model in Black & White 2, where you can actually combine and morph different types of creatures. Peter also assured us that the development team is paying close attention to the Black & White community for inspiration, and will include several user-requested features in the final game.  MDLax84 has decided to earn his degree in Goatweed University. If anyone sees him cheating on exams, let me know ASAP!
