Black & White 2: Tip (How to Make Buildings Cheaper)

Lionhead Studios Easter Egg: The moment you launch the game, the Lionhead Studios logo appears. Squares begin to fall near him. With a simple click of the mouse, you can grab and pull them. In the Black & White 2 \ data \ balance \ folder, find the gamebalancebuilding.txt file. Open it and pay attention to the lines like AZTEC_ABODE_A 280 0 3.5 80 6 2 3 2 3 2 10 0 1 1 1.5 150 0.7 0.6 0.5 0 0.4 -0.008 At the beginning of such lines are the names of buildings for each of the races presented in the game, then 26 numbers. But we are only interested in the first two. They indicate how many units of wood and ore are needed to construct a given building. By changing them to lower values, you will greatly simplify your game. As an example, consider the line: GREEK_TEMPLE 3000 1500 35 85.7142857142857 20 10 20 0 20 0 55 0 1 1 5 50 0.8 0.5 0.5 0 0.6 0.005 Change it as follows: GREEK_TEMPLE 1 1 35 85.7142857142857 20 10 20 0 20 0 55 0 1 1 5 50 0.8 0.5 0.5 0 0.6 0.005 Now for the construction of the temple (if you play for the Greeks) you will need one unit of wood and one unit of ore instead of the initial 3000 and 1500.
