Either that or a network of portals, so you can come back to a civilization on a particular map later on and see how they're doing, while the newest map continues to play simultaneously. Then you would be able to attack particular worlds owned by a particular god, and when you've won all their lands you attack their home land.
That would be cool.

if they where to make a non-liner B&W 3, it would need be be on 1 massive planet, (continents/islands are ok, but skip the portals) Village management would have to be simplified =(, and there would have to be other gods, preferably in randomized locations for re playability. Not to mention the creature system/belief system of B&W.

Well if they abandon it, for me!

I have an ENTIRE blueprint for the best god game ever, just means less competition then.

I'd share it with them, but i'd want to see it done exactly to blueprint...

Of course, Lionhead if you're reading this, i have a full blueprint of the game mechanics (the programming code and other resources would be up to you). Feel free to email me at my email address on the forums if you're interested. i've spent the past 2 years refining the idea, just don't have an outlet. If you're interested i'll present it to you and you can say whether you like it or not. (ie, game modes, methods of winning, buildings, purposes behind things, how it actually AFFECTS things... because seriously? in BnW2 a lot of civic buildings seemed useless).

I'd recommend you take more of an RTS style approach to building purpose, along with adding a priesthood. I'd also recommending borrowing the idea of creating your own civilization and creatures and architecture and ruling paths from SPORE. Not to mention allow for diplomacy so you can take over abandoned or other towns without force, but without having to do by giong to war.
(seriously, i need that ore mine at that outpost and no one lives there. was is taking an abandoned town ?)

These are tip of the iceberg suggestions, but you should take a hint from the game Actraiser for the old SNES too as far as a leveling system (yes you heard me, leveling by population, along with allowing a one on one duel inside the enemy god's stronghold at the end of that god's story arc!)
Not to mention make it longer. I'd gladly pay MONTHLY for new content always coming out!

Anyhow, if you want a larger exposition on the full set of ideas, contact me. I want to see what you think.

Peter Molyneux said there'd be 5 B&W games (and 5 Fables more recently...), so it's not hopeless. I doubt they'll make a B&W3, it seems more likely they'll go on to make a completely different series.

Black and White 1 and 2 were both amazing games and I'm sure much of us would agree. I know there have been other black and white 3 posts but none of this matter. Little is spoken of at the Lionhead studios about this game since the release of Fable 2. I personally believe the Black and White series was much more interesting. (or at least had potential.) If they were to make a non linear black and white 3 with epic battles and get rid of the story, I think they could really be on to something. Make every person in the game more of a person and less of a moving mesh and texture. Let you make your own stories in some way and get rid of the linear, arcade like, story modes. This is just me dreaming but these games were simply amazing and have astounding potential to create an amazing game with today's technology. I personally believe both of these games were better then the Fable series. (sorry). Just because you had more say in what happened. Anyways, I think we should start some sort of petition to bring back the black and white series. Well us b&w fans anyways....

Yea I posted this in the mod section...
