Give me a challenge!!!

[Reonnen]

      I've been a large advocate for the Black & White series, i have played black & white 1 all the way through and then onto the multiplayer which was just a great experiance, and even bought Black & white 2 the day it came out.
        Black & white 2's difficulty is like child's play to its predecessor i have said this before on this forum and have asked for a map where the enemy has soldiers by the thousands and will therfore provide a challenge that cannot be overcome in mere hours, or even multiple tries, mainly i would like this because i found the fighting to be one of the best new parts they added to the game (because it felt like it was missing in the first one)and the most exciting.
        I have played most likely all of the custom maps for this game but find that they all lack large invaisons or armies. I once got to experiance a large battle of nearly 1500 and the first land against the Japanese where the continued to send units who stacked outside my gate until it was nearly 800 or so men and i just lined my wall with archers send out all the warriors i could and my creature and it almost made up for not having a skirmish mode because these huge battles reminded me of the old screenies of B&W 2.
      So please if you have the ability i would love larger armies but other then the last land you can't find a much larger opponent.
Maybe these picture will inspire you like they inspired me to buy the game.

(notice in the older engine the creatures were just as big as they were in Black & white 1

There are two problems with doing this unfortunately!

1) The game simply can't handle, on any system, a certain amount of troops. Generally on maps i've tested and made, 1,000 troops in the same area can crash the game. The risk increases as the amount of troops increase. It's a risky business! I simply think the game wasn't designed to cope with such numbers, despite what the images suggest.

2) Platoons are just so darn tricky to script! They are the hardest thing to get to follow commands correctly. I still haven't been able to successfully script a platoon that will take over a town centre when gates are knocked down. It looks like it works on paper, but when the game reads them it doesn't come out right! Getting towns to recruit an army over and over with intervals is also stupid. The loop which is created in the script sometimes just mysteriously ends, among other problems. They also don't act normally; sometimes enemy troops can simply walk through the player's and not respond to their presence.

Troop numbers, as well as problems when scripting, make the creation of large and tactically operating armies difficult to achieve. I don't know how LH managed, but i think they may have had a better understanding of the ridiculous way in which the scripts act. My map 'doom coliseum' generates your army of 500 to try and defeat the enemy's army of 500, but that's admittedly quite boring! Give it a try if you like though.

B&W2 Battle of the Gods expansion "Bonus Level" sounds to me just what you need.
Have a look for some old posts.  I got up to wave 23 before going back to my builder roots.
