Weather

[COMMENT WAS DELETED]

Instead of natural disasters which are really rare why don't we add weather on top of that. Natural disasters might happen on top of that. Try using the search function of the forum to see similar ideas posted by me and others.

Not in a million years, this is a military strategy game, not a weather sim. It's easy to predict that many players will quit the game because of foreseeable issues with the natural disaster RNG and just pure annoyance at BS new feature. This will also make luck an even bigger factor that determines who wins. Might as well play lottery, with hopes of becoming a millionaire rather than getting tilted at losing virtual units and buildings.

To be realistic weather could also count as the x-factor because there is never a definite outcome that will happen in this game.

I feel like disasters should not be added but the weather sounds more like something that would work. I mean weather like rain, snow or clear sky that could for example affect units speed in small amount or plane's efficiency in the clouds.

Disasters are simply to rare and too big of a factor

I've taken natural disasters out, it's only weather now!

I think it’s a good idea

@Chimere

What are your reasons for disagreeing with weather?

I am guessing it is too complicated but there should be that in the side bar as part of the main sub-factors inside the x-factor

Weather could drastically effect the game and make it way more realistic. Conditions were not perfect every single day of the war. That's what "Fuhrer Weather" was for!

.. what value / benefit would have weather / climatic conditions in a game, where 1 day on a normal map equates to about half a year, so 1 hour ingame equals more than 7 days?

.. it would be just another, separate X-factor whether it's snowing or raining or if it's a sunny day or a moonless night, or if it's a spring-morning, summer-day, autumn-evening or winter-night at the moment when a unit / army shoots next time ..

(and it would be an annoying, flickering graphic if weatherr would shown and every few minutes the weather and time of day would change)

.. but anyway -- all such things as for example unfavorable weather / clime, blizzards, cloudbursts, morning dew, glaring sun, full moon, abrupt night blindness, fear in the dark, fail shots, sudden engine damages or axle breaks, unpredictable very experienced opponents, ambushes, diarrhea epidemic, low morale / lack of concentration due to poor breakfast or too little sleep (or whatever), tangled fishing lines, torpedo failings, drunken officers, the afterglow (later then), arrogance mentality and underestimation of the opponent, lost lucky charms etc. are already being abstract simulated by the already existing and unpredictable great X-factor.

@Chimere

Don't worry, I have blocked you as well. All I was doing was alerting you that I had changed the question. HOWEVER, you can vote again, but you refused to do that. What are your reasons for not doing so, and please don't coppy @Restrisiko

Ah sorry, was I saying that out loud? Well, I'm actually counting how many times people are suggesting "weather" in some way.

@Chimere We could all just stay peaceful here. If you voted no and do not wish to respond... then

Sidenote: Blocking does not work.
