I generally don’t like RTS games. I click my army and then click a target? Other than strategy, that’s not my kinda style. BFME2 changed all of that for me with the powers, the lore, the characters, the Warcraft 3 vibes, the awesome skirmish mode!! Man and the mods for this game are insane. The community is one of the most dedicated ever. I get that this game may never get to gog but we can dream.DariusSoScarius

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
