I started playing the B&W2 game about three days ago and now I'm done with the last island in the main game (haven't tried Battle of the Gods yet). I'm assuming the game isn't totally linear in the sense that there is a replay value (although I buy games not to be replayed but to have different experiences altogether) - Can anyone give me some tips as to what I should do next (to get my money's worth so to speak)? - I'm sure I'm missing something here because three days to finish a story is really very short !

There is somewhat of a replay value. when you start over you can get some items you didn't buy and change your alignment by trying different methods. i've played it 3 times through before.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing... and focusing on building... The problem with trying to remain a certain alignment (I'm trying to reach 100% this time) is that you can't obtain all the necessary tribute to buy all the stuff. Also, I prefer the first lands to the last ones and I can't do serious building on them since I'm required to follow the progression through if i want points to buy stuff... It would be nice if they had a sort of "sandbox mode" ... guess I'll have to rely on Mods and Cheats to make gameplay more interesting at this point (I found some nifty ones out there but still trying to find directions as to Mac installation)

edit : found the readme file that goes with the mod  

just didn't see it because it's not the usual  "README!!!!"
