Overview
Description

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.

Industry Giant puts you in charge of an industrial empire, letting you start with a simple factory, a store, and a few lorries and grow into a multi‑industry powerhouse. You’ll construct factories, buy raw materials, produce goods ranging from toys to computers, and use advertising to fill your stores and outpace rivals. The game blends easy‑to‑learn controls with deep strategic depth, challenging you to balance production, logistics, and competition across sectors like jewelry, furniture, automobiles, and electronics, all while aiming to become the top industry giant.
