This is purely hypothetical, since I doubt that lion head will bother with a BW3+4+5, but what do you think will happen in them?

Here are my ideas.

BW3 - Middle ages. 1000AD - 1400AD.
As your people rely on more technology, they believe in you less. When you take over a race, you get technology - e.g.  Gunpowder, steel, astronomy. They help your people move out of the dark ages and get more powerful, but it also turns them into atheists. you have a "belief" rating that has to stay above a certain level otherwise your people will do things for themselves, e.g. attack cities, build, make disciples etc. you can make disciple priests to make them believe in you or start holy wars.


Races -
Normans
Arabs
Mongols
The French
Byzantine (Greek ancestors)
Barbarians (have no homeland but attack you.)


BW4 - renaissance. 1400 - 1600AD
People are more likely to trust in technology than you. You can’t tell armies where to go, you can’t build, but you can influence people’s decisions, e.g. "go to war!" or "breed!” You can’t pick people up or throw them without a significant charge of mana. People create small amounts of mana but you need a lot to do anything significant.


Races -
England
Zulus
Ottoman Empire
China
America
Russia




BW5 - modern day. 1900 - 2000

You are a person. You can travel around in the real world, and you can influence people to behave the way you want - but if you act like a god and use your powers people think that you are a weirdo and ignore you. You can talk to people by typing things in and saying them. It is more about dealing with people one to one. Your conscience take the form of two real people and your creature is quite small and average – like a dog or a monkey. You as a god keep going around saying “I must reclaim the people who deserted and forgot me.” If you are an evil god, you can encourage terrorists and attack anyone who disagrees with your “religion” (you are a god, remember.) and if you are good then you can influence people’s behaviour by appearing and disappearing, putting people to the test to see if they are not sinners.

does this sound good? feel free to addd your own comments or post your own ideas.
 
??? hmmm sounds good actually, though I, like many others doubt that 3 4 and 5 will even be on the brainstorming board for lionhead.

4 black and white 5 its sounds a lot like fable.. dont cha fink?

but who knows... mabey the god has to go into a human or creature form.. I mean thats what the devil does to Adam apparently to religion.. good ideas though..
 
I'm sorry, I just don't like your ideas. I mean, I get them relying more on technology, but I want the old races too, and the same as BW1 and 2. Also, the creatures?
And I didn't like the fifth idea at all. You need to be a God, not a person. This isn't Force Finished or the Darkling or any of the crap. This is old skool Black and White I want.
 
If its BW3, you should be the "race" thats being raided by various countries. Along with the same gameplay as BW2 and a little of BW1.. There should be new troops and a tower that shoots out arrows. This time, you have more miracles at your disposal, the game will be more harder and hectic, making you focus on using your miracles to defend and so as your creature. It would be great if your enemies had a God to pray to; so your just not fighting against mortals, your fighting against GODS! It should be like Battle of the Gods, kinda hard.
 
oh, when i said "races" i really meant "new races" so youll have all the previous races plus the new ones. any obsolete races (romans, norse) would evolve and change into new more accurate races.

as for the fifth idea... you guys are right - it sucked.
'just goes to show... something
