version: v.1.1
This patch addresses a few issues that were found after shipping the game to the manufacturer, as well as a few balancing tweaks that we feel really improve the Gameplay in the Lands. The exact changes, along with the known issues and installation procedure, can be found in the 'ReadMe' with the patch.
Release name: 黑与白2, Hei yu Bai 2; Year:.
A known issue with this patch is with the save system. Save games from the retail version of Black & White 2 (i.e. Version 1.0), are not compatible with the v1.1 patch. If you have old save games, it is recommended that they are removed from your 'My Documents'->'Black & White 2'->'Profiles' folder before starting a new game with the patch. This will then prevent any conflicting problems between the two sets of save games. The above procedure isn't vital, it is just advised. The patch is not vital either.
A. Patch Installation
To install Version 1.1 of Black & White® 2 you will need a full copy of the game installed onto your machine.
Double click the Black & White® 2 Patch 1-1.exe. This will launch an installer that will patch your version to the latest version of Black and White 2, version 1.1.

C. Known Issues
1. PLEASE NOTE : After installing the version 1.1 patch, you will need to start a new game for the patch to properly take effect. Your existing Black & White® 2 save games will no longer work. Save games from version 1.0 of Black & White® 2 will not be compatible with version 1.1 of Black & White® 2.

The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology.

Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality. Hello everyone,I hope you guys are staying healthy as a new version of the Redux mod is nearing its public release. Most probably this version is content-wise the biggest so far. The AI got some neat changes preparing it for a future patch, how the game represents good and evil was improved, the influence system received a major overhaul and the most outstanding part the remastered music.As you might've guessed I couldn't do so much work alone in this short period of time, so I want to point out many, many thanks to Vociferous who did all the music and textures and we are really excited to hear your thoughts about the new update.
Also make sure to check out Vociferous' youtube channel which you can find right here. Version 1.7 has been released! Find the download links below:English VersionGerman VersionSpanish VersionMusicFirst of all the music. Vociferous did an awesome job remastering many of the Black & White 2 soundtracks. Currently finished themes are:. All 4 epic themes including siren, hurricane, earthquake, volcano. New ultimate good and ultimate evil alignment music for the greeks, carrying over the flair from Black & White 1.
A new credits song. Various new quest themes. New ambient themes like the evil creche musicIn addition to the music listed, it is planned and already partially done to recreate the Black & White 2 combat music.
However it doesn't made it into the current patch as it isn't fully finished yet.If you want to have a taste of the new music you can listen to the hurricane, earthquake and volcano themes on newgrounds: Textures and AmbienceNext up the textures and the with them connected ambience. We thought that good and evil wasn't represented at its full potential so far, so we decided to give the textures a bit more personality, as the good textures are generally a bit brighter now whileas other good alignment textures were changed in color drastically.
Also the evil textures generally received a darker look to them.Besides you might know the system in Black & White 1 where sky colors and lightning were altered when you moved inside the influence ring of another god. This is now also integrated into the Redux mod. Highest Rated (2 agree)Lionhead Studios go far into the past, their roots lay in the Bullfrog which made really good and innovative games like Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Powermonger, Magic Carpet and a few more. These were really, really advanced games for that time when they were released. However, they split up and most of them went to Lionhead studios, who started the series called Black & White.
The first one was really original, the theme is always the same. You're a god, and it's up to you what you'llJul 19 2012 by PastTime.
