Though you're a god, you always have to do everything for the people. The people don't seem to do anything themselves. It seems like either they're lazy or they're far too stupid. You have to command them to cut down trees, farm, fish, build, and even breed. Food is rarely a problem, but the villagers tend to deforest the entire place rather quickly before you can even re-grow the forests.
Overpopulation easily becomes a problem.
The solution would either be to massacre the damned little ungrateful villagers or tell them to stop breeding. The people also demand far too much. But even if you use evil tactics, which seem very simple, you still need to worry about being receiving power from your worshippers. Black and White has extremely gorgeous landscapes and intense sound. The backgrounds are so well done that it almost looks real.
