Fun fact: In Land 4, you can take a proactive role in the defense of your village by *catching* fireballs before they damage your valuable properties - I mean people. Yeah.

@@Babaganuush There is another god, iirc, the BBEG who is undead or something, It’s been a while, and some minor gods that act as enemies.

I liked it because the old system was still there, so the new one was fully optional, even if I made a beeline for it myself. Oh hey, I just remembered I remembered a hot key tip in the first game that you can try out if you want, maybe in its expansion “Black & White: Creatures Isle,” if you plan to try it, and in B&W 2 - using the number keys can queue up miracles instantly, no need for finicky drawing! Hope it helps!
