*Completing the Blind Woman Challenge by uniting her with her brother now gives the correct number of potions left rather than zero.(V1.01)
Also here are a list of Improvements that will also come along with the patch:
IMPROVEMENTS:
*Black & White will now allow people to skip the tutorial and/or Creature development section early on land one if they have played the game already. If the current profile already has a Creature, or there is more than one profile on the machine when a new game is started then a requester box appears asking if you want to skip the intro.(V1.01)
There are four options in this box:
The first is to start the game normally.
The second is to skip the beginning tutorial and quests and go straight to selecting your Creature.
The third is to skip all of the story quests on land one; this means that after selecting your Creature, he automatically gains all initial knowledge, the big Creature Guide doesn't exist, and the vortex is open. You can of course still spend as much time as you want on this land.
The fourth option is to keep your original Creature. This option is the same as option three, but you don't select a Creature, and your old Creature remains. If you select the last option and your current profile doesn't have a Creature then option three is executed instead.
*Pressing 'S' for villager statistics now displays the sex of the villager using shading and colour.(V1.01)
*A new switch /NOLOADMUSIC has been added. This allows booting up of the game on many machines using 1 CD to play over a LAN. The game will not refer back to the CD for music if this switch has been used.(V1.01)
Lionhead have also been brave enough to venture some FUTURE FEATURES. Here is a quote taken from the page:
"The following features are in the immediate pipleine (together with more bug fixes). More details to follow with later news releases."
So there are some more Bug Probelms to be fixed!
FUTURE FEATURES:
4th June 2001
The Creature dancing to MP3 files
11th June 2001
The villagers playing football
18th June 2001
The villagers engaging in village banter
25th June 2001
