Black & White

Hint:
-----
Did you know, that if you search for the file names.txt 
in your Black directory, you will be able to edit this 
list of names that are allocated to your villagers. 
Make sure that you type how many names are in the list 
on the first line of the text file, so if you had 50 
names in your list, the first line would read 50. Add 
the names of your friends, or the names of your enemies, 
it will add a new level of villager interaction.

Custom villager names:
----------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; 
create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. 
Use a text editor to edit the "names.txt" file in the 
game folder. You can change the names contained in the 
file as desired, for example use friends or family. 
However, the number of names in the file must match the 
number listed in the first line. 

Dizzy evil conscience:
----------------------
Start the tutorial and wait for your conscience to stop 
talking. Repeatedly move your mouse in circles and your 
evil conscience's head will eventually start spinning. 

Unlimited food and wood:
------------------------
Activate a Food or Wood Miracle. Then hold the Hand 
over the door of the village store or workshop and 
quickly and repeatedly press the Right Mouse Button. 
If done correctly, a large amount of food or wood will 
be created for very little mana. 

Beach balls, bowling balls and bowling pins:
--------------------------------------------
Go to the God's Playground (press [F2] during game play) 
and exit out of the first tutorial by pressing [Esc]. 
Then zoom all the way out. Look for the small island off 
of the larger one. When you find it, zoom in on it. 
Rotate the camera so that you are looking at the small 
island and can see the large island in the distance. 
At the base of the small island you will see two beach 
balls, two bowling balls and some bowling pins with smiley 
faces on them.

Smiley face footprints:
-----------------------
Set your system date to April 1 and being the game. 
Your character will leave smiley face footprints in 
the ground.

Control:
--------
Since navigation is such a big part of this game, 
personalizing control is key to your success and 
enjoyment of the game. While point and click control 
is well developed, we found that it is quicker to assign 
movement to the keyboard. Map the movement controls to 
the AWSD buttons, like a first person shooter. 
Set Q and E for camera rotation, and R and F to change 
pitch. This will make controlling your god hand quick 
and easy, and keep your other hand free to use the two-button 
mouse and zoom wheel.

Double-clicking is another great way to move around the map 
and quickly zoom in on action you want to be a part of. 
Whenever moving around the map, zoom out and tilt down to 
get a bigger perspective. It will save you a lot of time 
and frustration to see the whole island and simply click 
to the region you want to be in.

While your powers only work within areas you control, 
you can affect areas outside of your domain for a very 
brief period of time. By quickly crossing outside of 
your realm of influence, you can grab valuable resources 
and even rival villagers that you can convert or sacrifice 
to gain more Miracle power.
