I want a new strategy game and these are two of the games I'm thinking about. Can any of you guys recommend either or another game?

I am interested too, I loved the first Black and White but heard the new one isn't as good. I tried Europa 2 but was confused by all the options (didn't have a manual either)

Yeah, the reviews of Black and White II say it's very similar to the first game with not many improvements, but that could be a good or bad thing depending on what you want from the game. I've never played a Europa game before, and I was worrying that it might be very complicated. When I was younger I'd have probably loved learning all of the intricacies, but these days I want a game I can pick up and play and learn at a reasonable rate.

If you liked the first Black and White you will like the 2nd- kind of like the Civ games in that regard.

If you have not played Black and White at all it is quite an entertaining game- although I would say it is more of a "god game" than a stratgey game.

That looks like it could be a lot of fun. I've just downloaded the demo version from that website so I'll have to try to learn the basics.

Black and White is one of those games that I was really looking forward to, but got bored quickly playing it.
