how do i git gud at this game? i can handle the creature but the rts portion always eluded me. i've heard you're not meant to micromanage the villagers much
I think you're thinking of Black and White 2, 1 doesn't have an RTS element and the game is all about just spamming villager birthrates because the more followers you have the farther your influence spreads.
>spamming villager birthrates
Well yeah but you can't just assign them to make babies if there are no houses, they won't frick. And also they will empty the granary instantly without enough grain fields.
The main problem is that all your villager spawn young, and then you expand and as they procreate, and another generation is created, you eventually run out of building space at which point you're stuck with an aging population and no more babies. Eventually the majority of villagers is lost that way unless an equilibrium is achieved by sacrificing villagers or moving them to new settlements.
>moving them to new settlements
how are you meant to do this? when i just build houses and "assign" them to them they don't seem to behave correctly, the new village never expands organically

That's just for the long term equilibrium. I used to play the multiplayer map as a kid, but wanted to have a neat village. I'd have a lot of villagers, but not so many buildings, and then like 80% died off. That one generation was too aged to meet the replacement requirement. The game's an interesting simulation in that way.
For new villages just keep adding women. A few reproductors should inseminate them all, but will give up if there are no houses to fill or if they're all pregnant.

the guy that founded deepmind worked at lionhead and hired a bunch of people from game dev
including the guy that did the ai for the creature in black and white
really freaks me out how a dumb monkey I couldn't get to stop shitting on villagers and killing them was part of the journey to alphago/alphastar/etc
It's not like all those fancy AIs have a standard to compare to. They just throw processing power at a bunch of algorithms, and the technology happens to be fast enough to produce a satisfying result.
The thing is though, you won't know just how stupidly inefficient what they're doing is until Go or Chess become solved games.
Yes, moron. Read the sticky >Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007
Pic related is "retro" on this board.
It's not a stupid definition, but it doesn't fit the moronic demographic that frequents this board. Half the threads are some half-assed attempt at reliving the nostalgia of some shitty item from the "retro era", or talking about emulators, hardware, ecelebs, emulator settings. It gets even worse when some homosexuals make an ebay thread to talk about collector bullshit like it has anything to do with actual gameplay.
the feeling of pride i got from raising a functional tiger that was jacked, helped out villages economies and knew spells... after my first 2 creatures were absolute shit eating morons
How does the song go again?

Sheep have many uses, and it is a long journey...

i would pay 60$ for this on steam. beyond comfy
or you could just download it for free from archive.org
Don't those PC games on archive need CD keys?
if it's an image of the retail cds, then yes. can't zoomies even google cd-keys these days?
no one is going to come and arrest you for using a googled cd key to a 20 year old lionhead game anon. it doesn't even check for online iirc

Precarious balance. It's by no means a perfect game. The future room was never implemented.

I always thought this game was shitty.
Then I played it as an adult.
And I realized that its still shitty.
Is this even retro?
Yes, moron. Read the sticky
