Here is a bundle with the main install of plus + the rebalance update, this is everything you need to play the latest version of plus with all the stability patches applied!
New patch v1.4.1:
- Fixed villagers memory overflow (mostly) by making old villagers die very fast (1 minute) this clears the game memory and prevent crashes.
- Villager balance fixes for several lands, reducing amounts and villager limits to prevent memory issues with villagers.
- Fixed an issue with alignment, lava/fire and some buildings and fields, giving almost infinite evil points if attacking enemy/player ones, this is no longer the case.
(To prevent further memory issues, don't make too many villagers (3000+ in a town) or spam too many temple miracles in short periods of time, this is about game limits and cannot be solved, even with the 4gb patch that's already applied to plus)
Instructions:
- Install BW2 with the 1.1 and 1.2 patches (Ignore fan patch)
- Install the main Bw2 plus, v1.0
- Install V1.4 Rebalance update
- Limit the fps to 60!
Enjoy :> (BLU)

V1.4 (Current)
Fixes:
+- Fix on land 4 in wich norse general does not despawn correctly.
+- Fix for crashes on land 8 (third japanese land) related to earthquakes, now it is done by events, these events happen when you capture/impress the central town and the evil brother town.
+- Fixed overall stability on all base game lands.
+- Fixed (yet again) stability on land 11 (last aztec land).
+- Fixed capacity bugs for "low level" houses.
Tweaks:
+- A lot of the expansion grammar has been improved.
+- Increased resource pickup speed dramatically.
+- Increased God Build ability speed by 20%.
+- Increased villager building speed by 60%.
+- Increased the above Speeds to give more agility to gameplay, but you must mind the resource cost! Godbuild also waste some more resources.
+- Creature now can pass through some tight spaces, preventing him from getting stuck too often, you still need to mind your creature for very narrow streets.
+- Alignment changes no longer decay over time, now it is easier to shift from good to evil or viceversa even in long gameplays.
+- Relaxed road building: Now roads can be placed on totally uneven terrain, this works on mountains and elevations, making it easier to build, works much like a pencil now.
+- Added new descriptions to temple miracles (Old gods lands expansion) with a more fancy UI and explanations, also a new post sign as a temple help in the first land of the expansion.
+- Now all temple miracles have the same physics of the altar miracles, in terms of distance and the same picking up sounds.
+- Increased the power of the lava miracle with more lava spreading around.
+- Increased the power of the decay miracle, the area of effect is much bigger, added new small effect changes and it is more lethal now.
+- Added a special portal in the first norse land to skip all the original story, this have some consequences however and must be done with a very specific tutorial described below.
- You will be send inmediately to the last aztec land of the original story with part of the tributes (2.000.000).
- Your creature will be fully grown up but in a reset state.
- Only for experienced players, don't do this if you haven't finished the game (vanilla or plus, as this mod also includes a 2 new lands in the original story)
TUTORIAL (SPOILERS!):
- Find the small island at the corner of the map.
- Place your hand at the center of the circle and wait 60 seconds, you will hear a sound that you are doing it correctly.
- 5 special stones will appear around the land, these are the locations (just click them and these will teleport, no need influence):
- Near the player mine.
- Near the inmortal guy cave.
- Iceberg behind the norse capital.
- Center land mountain, second most biggest mountain in the middle.
- Blue iceberg near the nut-oil quest.
- When you found all the stones, return to the island and leave your hand in the circle for 60 seconds
- A portal to the last aztec land will be available now.
Building New Abilities:
+- Ampitheatre: These gives huge ammount of impressiveness, buff the happiness in a big radius and also gives huge impressiveness bonus to other buildings. Massively reduce production of factories (render them useless if the building is near them).
+- Temple: Increases impressiveness of buildings near it.
+- Column: Slightly increases impressiveness of buildings near it.
+- Fountain: Slightly increases impressiveness of buildings near it (Very small boost).
+- Workshop: Increases production of the surrounding factories (Medium boost), removed the happiness penalty (works like half an university/prison), no more treated as an evil building, small boost to capacity for houses.
+- Bathouse: Gives a massive happiness to all buildings in a big radius. Massively reduce production of factories.
+- All Markets: Slightly increases impressiveness of buildings near it (small boost).
Building Changes:
+- Fertility Statue: The birthrate increase around it has been increased
+- University: Added a boost to happiness, so this can counter the unhappiness given by factories.
+- Prison: No more gives negative impressiveness. Now it works like an evil version of the university, gives a lot of production boost, gives very little impressiveness and reduce happiness - Tribute and building cost increased to match university.
+- Graveyard: Removed all productivity buffs, gives a tiny buff of happiness in a very large area.
+- Creche: Small buff to birthrate area and power.
+- Pub: Small buff to capacity to all type of houses. small buff to birthrate in a small area.
+- Skyscaper: Increased building cost (4000 per block), for max blocks of 12 for the greeks, and 8 blocks for the japanese one.
+- Streetlamp: Drastically reduced building cost (300 ore per lamp), don't give any impressiveness, very small happiness/production increase, suitable for both good and evil gods.
+- Garden: Slighly decreases factory production rate.
+- Torture pit: No longer decreases impressiveness, now it gives same bonuses as the wells, but gives lots of happiness debuff (for evil gods).
+- Head on spike: No longer gives negative alignment.
Balance:
+- Removed Siege engine, 100 soldiers and 100 archers from tribute menu, as these caused massive problems by spamming the purchase button (Crash and overflow).
+- Decreased impressiveness needed for the enemy capitals to a more reasonable limits to prevent slog and too slow progress.
+- Reduced land 10 (sacrifical land) difficuly to a more acceptable level, there's now a little more time to save the woman, the troops that attack the woman are much weaker and starting troops are much bigger and experienced, do not attack the aztec town near your city, you will lose!
+- Reduced land 11 (Aztec Homeland) difficuly to a more acceptable level, troops are still very strong but their quantities are reduced, drastically reduced the aztec big army, reduced the royal guards strength.
+- Reduced land 19 (Last Demon god land) to a more acceptable level, the final assault now spawn much less enemies.
+- Reduced land 20 (Demon god boss battle) to a more acceptable level, reduced the armies that spawn from the demon totems.
Possible bugs and notes that cannot be solved:
+- Volcanoes and lava can sometimes make your villagers scared forever even when the volcano end, this cannot be fixed, but can be workarounded by saving, quit the game and reload a save before the events happen (voclano), there's not an effective way to make the bug happen or not.
- This is mostly noticeable in land 11 (final aztec land), land 16 (bw1 land 1) and land 18 (third bw1 land).
+- Temple miracles cannot be removed from hand when yhe player keep the mouse action button pressed for a long time in a pedestal... I cannot fix it, the workaround is just clicking , not holding the button.
+- Some parts of the game are very script intensive, please, save ofter in case some weird crashes happen!
+- Remember that you can use modifer key to do a lot of things, straight roads, straight walls, repeat a building blueprint and even pick up soldiers! (you can sacrifice enemy soldiers in the altar with no alignment penalization).
IMPORTANT!: remember to start a previous land for the changes to be effective!
