plz Reply, and if its summint daft and imiture your gonna say, DONT BOTHA MAN.
But started playing again last week and chose the tiger.
Viscious little killer he is.
Try and download a training map called "Kilroy's Training Ground", and play that as a skirmish map.
It has endless miracles, loads of villages to take over, an existing village with endless resources so you can just concentrate on creature training.
I've done that, and Fakka is a 5yr old tiger on land 1.
He is highly violent
100% strength
95% fatness
Not at all frightened
Not at all playful
Black hearted.
I thought you could be evil and crush them into the ground and destroy their buildings?
I can't be bothered going through the single player stuff again, but I've been playing the skirmish games and teaching my monkey, which is quite entertaining.
P.S. Please try to be a bit more legible. You will get taken more seriously if you do.

strange, but that was almost the exact reply I was going to type, although with this part added :
picking up your villagers with a giant hand and pelting them at their own houses is enjoyable in a way I never thought possible. who said god is good?
The hole idea was great and the AI thing was just remarkible, even if you were disapointed in the gameplay you could set the camera to fall asleep to a picturesc bit of scenary, lol, B&W 2 looks ab fab as it has all of the no1 release and more, you can nbow teach your animals new spells etc, including tactics and commands to dis out orders, this comes in handy as you can assighn troops to your animal so he will train, command and support during village wars, the wars themself will involve EVEN MORE men than the shogun trillogy, WOW, it has a great new engine as well so the worries of your syster speed can be tamed.
search with google to find some pics and info etc, i did.
But you end up simply micro-managing the villages, as mentioned below, so your creature just does his thing whilst you plant trees and build houses.
A nice idea but buried beneath a shoddy base-building game. Still good laugh to train your monkey and make him mental
