Edwin P. Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Weather effect should vary by zone. Although you might have bad weather over the atlantic at the same time you could have clear weather over France. I would divide the map into several weather zones. You could have good weather in some zones and bad weather in other zones. Example: North Atlantic - Major Storm, Air Fleets Grounded, No Air Spotting by Air Fleets South Atlantic - Clear Weather Italy - Low Cloud Cover - Spotting Chance reduced by 50% for Air Fleets Egypt/Syria/Libya - Clear Skies Russia - Major Blizzard, Action points reduced by 2, Air Fleets Grounded.

J P Wagner Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I don't mind ressurrecting my old thread (and old nic) to once again support this idea... http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=000789 [ June 21, 2003, 12:07 PM: Message edited by: J P Wagner ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCPilot Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 How would you determine the boundries for these zones and how could a player know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 JP Wagner I like your zones, very clearly laid out. A most interesting read, especially on what effects weather. As for how to determine the zone - JP has it by country. The only other zones to add are the Atlantic and Eastern Med and Western Med. As for effects: Winter: Clear: No effect Snow: Spotting Chance reduced by 50%, spotting range reduced, AP reduced by 1 Major Storm: All planes grounded, AP reduced by 3, Can Not Operate in or out of region. Summer: Clear: No Effect Rain: Spotting Chance reduced by 50% Major Storm: All Planes Grounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Edwin, Good ideas. I'm done pushing for these things, they're out of the question for SC and we don't have any real info on SC 2; meanwhile we have amphibious ops in the Baltic during the winter and break neck advances through the Russian snow. Another old weather link for the collection. *Weather and SC. [ June 21, 2003, 06:21 PM: Message edited by: JerseyJohn ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 Thanks for the link. I know that it is unrealistic, I just keep hoping for an update that will include a new feature of game changing proportions - ie the three city supply source for Russia. Example: - Simplified FOW for Air Fleets Spotting Naval Units - Norwegian/Swedish Axis Invasion - Axis AI concentrates Air Fleets on the Eastern Front instead of keeping 2 or 3 air units in France - Allied AI move Egyptian Fleet to Atlantic or move navy ships to med to sink Italian fleet - New Tech - Post Surrender Partisans for Spain/Russia - Allies Attack Iraq/Ireland for MPPs - Axis AI more likely to attack Vichy/Spain/Denmark at Expert level - Axis Sea Lion if Axis spies radio in low level of land units in England and most of UK navy sighted in Mediterrean Ocean. - Random Scenario Selector; System selects a random scenario starting with a "1939" text string. - Random location for subs in North Atlantic - FOW On for Human, OFF for AI Option - Reclaim Tech Chits AI Routine (ie If Moscow or Rostov or Stalingrad falls Russia reclaims all tech chits to buy Corps/Army units) - Option to give AI opponent 1 free tech chit every game year (1939/40/41) as AI seems to avoid investing in tech chits - AI Tech Bonus Option (on/off). Who knows, Hubert said that 1.06 was the last upgrade and here comes 1.07. [ June 21, 2003, 10:20 PM: Message edited by: Edwin P. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
