Black & White 2
One of the best games I've played. Only game to get me hooked to the point I played it almost every day for more than a few weeks.
So fun.
For those who haven't played it, I can't be bothered explaining it, but basically you make a town kind of like Age of Empires, the difference being your a God and can do whatever you want (within your power limit) and can help out your people by building stuff or gathering resources or making armies or using miracles to kill people etc etc.
You also have a creature which is a giant animal that you raise like a pet to do your bidding, and, like you, can get good or evil, but also fat or muscly, lazy and can do certain things more than others.
These creatures got in the Guiness book of records for the most advanced game character, having AI and a distinct personality each time, a developed mature creature can take up almost 2mb of memory itself.
If you want to know more read a review.
Creatures
Cow and Army seiging town
Good Lion (using creature miracle) vs Evil Wolf
Army invading city, and Meteor Mircale
Evil Lion, city and god hand
Good Cow and God hand
Young evil monkey
Monkey and God Concience
Flaming city (fire miracle) and armies in battle
Anyone got it?
The only complaint I have, is a big one. No multiplayer. The original game concept wouldn't work at all, because throughout the single player game, the enemy doesn't have a god. (I think, I haven't beaten it yet)
But with a few changes it could work.
For example tribute would be aquired through taking over towns but also creating troops and killing stuff, gathering resources, happy people, impressiveness, etc. rather than quests, but comes easily. You start off with the bare necessities and can buy buildings, and depending on how well you play, how strong your military is or how impressive your city is you can afford better stuff and miracles than the enemy and giving you the edge.
Creature battles would be awesome.

I think there was one major problem with Black & White 2, where were the scenarios,a nd as you said, no multi-player.. The game was also unnecessarily heavy. But still it was much better than Black & White 1, even though 1 had much longer playability due to scenarios
