a new unit that can change weather, its a cool idea but first we need a working mechanism to implement weather in game,then we can think about new units that take advantage of weather effects

Shouldn't this be discussed in AOF?

Well "gok" what units would be good in rain or hindered in it? Catapults?

I suggest you guys putting this in AOF, anyways I think weather could hinder units like slower speeds or sight. Possibility weakening some certain units units.

I think this topic is good enough to me but if you say so..

Can we test this out in game?

First of all where will the weather b shown? On the top right corner? How long should it last five turns, if we have icons of two weathers, the second can b sunny, then we can test out if effects of weather changes, I believe sunny increases sight of all units by 1, while raining reduces burning stack of all burning structures by 1 on first turn of raining only

For now I want it to be simply tested as a Terrain thingy. The effects can be added later. But if anyone else could, add different types of weather here.

Well we need typhoons and hurricanes!

I'm thinking about high winds.

Nhaaa, Hurricanes!!

If you want hurricanes how about you make it, I will work on the high winds.

Okay your on!!!

Then tornadoes to destroy units on the field, or maybe demolish your base.

I can see this happening, how about earth quakes?

We don't want an empty board where every unit was killed by weather effect

Me either! It just kills ships.

Maybe make this a trigger effect only. I really don't want a large fleet of ships getting wiped out by a hurricane and saving my opponent. Though it is reminiscent of a certain invasion of Japan, which began the term "kamikaze" because the entire invasion fleet forgot to check the weather forecast lol.

Well i think this should be a risk because there are multiple instances of this happening. Like the Persians when trying to get around the Greeks.

How about three settings for the weather?
None: No chances, absolute strategy.
Soft: Excludes Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, sandstorms and such.
Heavy:All weathers.

Right on! I was thinking on posting that idea.

how about this, I can edit it.

I think the different weather states must be logical (heavy rain -> normal rain)
Maybe a weather station/tech is cool, making the game less random because you can see the weather for the next:
Weather I 5 turns
Weather II 10 turns
Weather III 20 turns

We could keep working on this..

We need more image and less ideas.
