Black & White 2 vs The Seven Cities of Gold

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.

In this historic simulation, you command a daring voyage to uncover the fabled Seven Cities of Gold, navigating treacherous seas and uncharted lands. Balance the court's political ambitions with your own secret quest for wealth and glory as you build settlements, manage resources, and negotiate with indigenous peoples. The game blends strategic planning, tactical encounters, and business management, offering a deep, immersive experience set in the age of exploration. Every decision shapes the destiny of your expedition and the emerging kingdoms you encounter.
