Black & White 2 vs CivCity: Rome

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.

CivCity: Rome lets players focus on the great cities of the Roman Empire, guiding each settlement through detailed missions that blend classic Civilization mechanics with immersive city‑building. From constructing roads and monuments to balancing research, happiness, production, and culture, every decision shapes the rise of Rome itself.
