Black & White 2 Redux mod

Hello everyone,

Hope you all are doing well since I made a major update on this mod. Since then, I've made lots of changes to the game. I reworked platoons (melee and ranged), created a Spanish translation with the help of Kelrok and fixed lots of bugs (I didn't document every bug in the change log to be honest).

Spanish Translation

This for sure took the most time creating and still isn't finished to 100%. However I finally got it into a playable state. Most of the stuff up to the last land and every new feature is translated but some work is still left to do which won't make it into the 1.6 release:

• Every dialogue which is originally used in BW1 (Missionary quest, Kidnapper quest and so on)
• Dialogues from BOTG. These will remain in English since BOTG wasn't released with Spanish language support.

Rework of Platoons

Platoons received a massive rework. Now you have the possibility to create sub-types of the original platoons like a fast melee platoon which is especially good against archers but not as good against melee.

In addition to the rework of the platoons the player can now summon undead platoons. In order to do that he needs to be at least 75% evil. As soon as he gathered enough evil points, a flag will appear above the graveyard for undead recruitment.

In the end here is the full change log for the next patch. You can also find the change log in the forum:

Additions

• Platoon Types have been added to add some diversity to troops
  
  • 'Charger': A fast melee platoon which can flank enemy troops and chase archers and catapults easily. However, these are weaker in combat
  • 'Heavy Platoon': A slow melee platoon which has more defense and a bit less attack damage
  • 'Shooters': A ranged platoon which has the ability to shoot arrows over a much larger range. But they are less precise and much slower in combat
  • Besides there are the normal platoons where balance is tweaked and in-battle-navigation has been improved
• Added possibility for evil players to recruit undead platoons with the graveyard
• Added Spanish language support to the mod. Some minor text hasn't been translated yet and some characters could be displayed incorrectly
• Added more dynamic music to the skirmish maps, land 7, land 10 and land 13. Also changed which music is played in the opening stages of the final land

Other

• Changed how much alignment you get after winning a land. After each land you and your creature get or lose 5% alignment
• Removed last 100 soldiers from being purchasable (new profile is required for this)
• Changed the description text of hand forcing in the tribute menu to mention mana consumption
• Changed land 4 lost sheep quest to trigger a bit later
• Building Hovels, Houses and villas no longer has an influence on alignment
• Building armories also no longer has an influence on alignment, attacking however a bit more
• Lots of other minor bug fixes
