It's just basic knowledge I gained from reading everything on how the creature learns.
Just assume it learns EVERYTHING that is going on. That way, you know what you are rewarding.
This includes such silly things as Distance from Temple, Distance from Influence, How many non-believers are...
You rang?
1. I've read about 20 guides on the internet, but never managed to make my creature 'self sufficient'. (eating, sleeping, etc.) Help?

Read my post - as it answers alot of your questions, but, I'll answer yours a bit more.
Creature waters the fields - reward 20%
Creature Mind:
Watering OWN fields is GOOD 20% player reward.
Watering OWN fields is GOOD 10%...
Well, mouse movement issues are probably graphics related in bw2!
I suggest updating your graphics drivers! :D
And.. well.. Windows 7 has some issues with most drivers, did you do the Windows Preformance Index thingy yet? - It activates alot of functions!
Also, how is your anti-alliasing...
I assume an other program is interfearing still - Try installing the game in Safe mode.
Also, use Setup.exe once it is installed to get to a 'custom' level of detail.
I suggest shutting down ALL programs your pc starts, then try BW for play, if it works. Something is mucking up! ^^

Could you copy/paste the part of the text that is making the object? :)
Perhaps you made a typo, resulting in it not creating any spell in the first place! ^^ - or something..
It's difficult to help you, without seeing the actual problem :p
Perhaps the respawn time on the thingies.. whatyemcallit - is to long?
Try lowering a number - I'm not certain which it is anymore. :)
I suggest you check out land3.txt - there is a Wood wonder thingy spawner there - that respawn time is short - I think
Ouch.. Reonnen.. please learn to use the Enter key!.. T_T
reposted under a spoiler, for readability - I will enter my own comment below it.. once I am able to read yours..
After reading it.. there isn't much to add.. other then the advice to use enter more often.. and less long sentances.
I...
^^ it's why I'm at school to learn for Application-Developer :p
I was thinking some more, and I believe, how sad it might be, that you may need to re-install your game anyway - as continuing with an account, when you updated it after having played with it.. messes up quite alot! :p

Do you have a dedicated graphics card?
Or an onboard one? Such as Intel or something?
It sounds like your graphics processor can't keep up with the rest of the pc at times.
Freeze-ups, and low fps, during intensive scenes, or elongated play, all point at issues with your graphics card.

It is likely that you installed the game in a wrong folder, causing problems with permissions.
To say it more simply, Windows 7 does not trust Black&White, and does not allow it to save.
You should install it in a place where Windows 7 wouldn't care much, and just say "Well!.. You installed it...
Sorry, this distance is hard-coded into the game, and would require knowledge of .dll's or .exe files, or atleast, have applications that can read / write them.
Please remember that this game is very very very old. Low 'graphics' are to be expected.
This is normal behaviour. Unknown why though, it's probably to have nice screens :)
Or because 'twilight' / 'sunrise' is both good and evil? o.o?
Congratulations for finishing the game! :D
Profiles function on registry keys.
It is suggested, that before you copy your 'old' game onto the new one, you update it, and play it once, create a profile with the same name as your old game. And 'finish' creature tutorial. (Create new profile, then once the 'intro' ended, restart, and...
Gremuxula.. Just because nobody reports an error... does not mean nobody has an error.
Not many people complain.
I myself also tried your map.. My creature became afraid of me. - Because I slapped it when it wanted to play. Just 10% (one slap) eventualy.. it did not want to sleep.. so I...
CREATE_POT("3264.60,3432.65", 18, 1500, 10000)
You have one " to many :) also, no spaces after CREATE_OBJECTNAMEHERE, also, you have '0' as third argument.. that is size.. I think..
A higher number would make your fishy more visable, no?
