Weather and Night Time

Post by Tankhead »

We can have a icon in the corner of the screen show what time of day it is and weather that changes every certain amount of turns. Certain weather or time of day affects certain
Ex 1: undead gets a tough or morale boost a night
Ex 2: all range units have reduce range at night
Ex 3: windy days or nights range units have a less chance of hitting there target.
Ex 4: scaled folk get a morale boost when it rains
Fire type attacks are weakened and lightning attacks are boosted.
Weather should change every 10 turns and daytime nighttime changes every 15 turn
This will change dramatically on how people play in AOF

Ok what about instead of having a exact AOF time every certain amount of turns the icon shows day and night time?

At first time it was supposed that each turn counts as one day.
One. Full. Day. 24 hours.

maybe add time too. But not to influence the battle, just for decoration and ambient.

If doesn't modifies any stat (eg Sight) than is no reason to add night cycle.

Feel like this should be brought up as its important

3 Big Things that could change age of games

- Day time/Night time cycle
- Terrain Affects
- Weather

With those 3 things in so much could happen with any of the games

Yes we need this so that maps get more interesting. Though I don't think scaledfolk should get a speed boost in rain, just move normally. As for undead they should be getting some boost from nighttime. Weather could be rain, wind, snow, sunny.
Rain: negates everyone's movement by 1. Puts out fire status on units/buildings.
Snow:negates everyone's movement by one and aquatic units by 2.
Wind: negates 20% accuracy from projectiles.
Sunny: no changes

I think snow terrain affects already slow movement speed by -1 plus it snowing would be -3 in total, kinda alot
Maybe snow should have a curse like affect
"Freezing" with a %10 - %15 - %20 chance on all units ( sieges included )

Also snow should lower sight by - 2
Rain by -1

Weather should have a percentage on working. So it becomes unpredictable.

With that concept

Sunny - high chance to hit

Windy - somewhat a high chance but lower than sunny

Rain should have like a moderate chance or maybe a little lower

Snow - Rare

Ok, what else are we missing? Images? If you want to save time you could find them by going into one of the links through the introduction page. My favorite and most helpful link is number 1, the first link. But I suggest going on the 3rd set of images since that set allows you to download images singular, except certain ones but I know you could edit them. It's just quicker and could help for a substitute image until we get something better in.http://pousse.rapiere.free.fr/tome/index.htm

Kinda confused on what you mean. I was just thinking they're would be a certain type of filter when a type of weather comes up

Sunny - normal weather (What have now)
Snowing /mist /rain - reduces Sight
/accuracy ranged (if Implemented)
(no need for movement reduction since that carries the tile.
Night - reduces Sight and morale for certain units, increase for others.

Random events - earthquake, firestorm, tsunami, flood. Etc
(dmges in area and applies corresponding effect )
Or positive effect (spring - morale and hp increase for nature units)
