I have to agree that B&W1 was the better game.
It is a shame that a lot the content we both remember seems to have disappeared.
I do still play B&W2/ BOTG and B&W1 sometimes but that is mostly if I am waiting for an update for another game.
There are alternate versions of RunBlack.exe that removes the need for the CD to be in the drive. That should help.
It's the old copy protection that is not compatible with some CD/DVD drives that causes the problem.
Yes that is a small part of the old LH site but there are none of the things there that I was talking about. Not even broken links to important stuff like game patches, Language packs or the fun stuff like links to "out takes", "Missionary song pack" and other stuff like the video I posted a...
From a distant memory.
You will have to edit your grapics.config file you can use Notepad to load and save the file.
The graphic card 4400 is not existing then edit one of the existing card numbers to match and then 3 0 3 the rest of that line.
For example change the X1900 to 4400 or...
i haven't done any mapping for several years now but I can tell you that it is a scripting error for player 2 and maybe 3.
The map loads fine using just the Player 1 block in a test script adding player 2 block leads to a crash.
Rem-ing out
CREATE_CITADEL("1898.76,2964.97", 1, "PLAYER_TWO"...
No CD's are a way around the game manufactures check for a legal copy.
Now if you own an original physical CD and manual and use a nocd patch that is technically illegal but 99.99% you could not or will not be prosecuted.
If you bought a digital version of the game then the NOCD patch would...
I also have copies of B&W1 "both versions" :D yep I got B&W1 in the white sleeved box and the wife bought me the black sleeved version for my birthday. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it's the same game inside on the CD just the cover is reversed.
Jump ahead to 2007 my last B&W1 CD...
Just my thoughts on this issue.
The game was made to run on W 95/98/M/2000.
1 cpu core at 350Mhz or above and a 8Meg graphics card all to run in 64Meg of ram.
Those stats were a bit high end when the game was released.....
OK so 13y later the game is still the same but PC'S gave changed vastly...
Not a really serious problem now but could be leading up to one.
Every game is slightly different so you have to find the cause. I would first look at building is there enough housing or too much building going on.
Are your farms producing enough grain fast enough to allow villagers time...
It is very simple.
You don't really need to do this but it will help you to understand DL the script list from this link http://www.bwfiles.com/files/file.php?id=218
Then using notepad you can load a "anyscriptfile.txt" say twogods.txt and for example change every "Forrester" to a "Shepard"...
That would be great if there was any old style Tournament players left , but today most MP is mismatched noob V noob player.
Noob one has played B&W for a while and takes his current creature to MP.
Noob two has done some homework and trained and grown his creature specifically for MP.
The...
Villagers can be assigned the job sheppard in a map or land script but you can't make them in game.
The only disciples you can make in the game are placed next to fixed objects/buildings , with the exception of breeders.
Now here comes a potential problem lonely potential breeder meets sheep...
Yes P.MX is talking.
Sadly 99% of the old stuff was on the Lh site that was taken down without notice it was just a chance thing that I got it for another fan that could not access UK sites.
Here is the the earliest Vid that I still have. This is from when "Beardy" was a girl long before release.

That was ok quality 15y ago. enjoy !!
Glad you are happy with your creatures size , but it takes at least 6h in the map to max out your creature. When he enters his pen it should be -89% for full size.
Just a quick note for all users including upto W8.1
You only really need 2 files from this upload..............
Just move the Tiger profile from the download to the existing profile folder. Do the same with the creature mind.
Change profile next time you start the game.
Job done.
