Weather
Twice per in-game day, when day turns to night and night to day, the weather of every exterior area can change. What it can change to depends on two things: what kind of place the area is, and what time of year it is in the real world.
- The seasons are the four real ones, on Central European dates.
- Each season has its own weather chances for each kind of area. A European summer makes a clear sky likely, and a European winter brings rain and snow.
- Grass size, density, height and colour change with the season.
Weather that hurts
A few areas have a second layer of weather on top of the ordinary one, and it deals damage.
- It can damage anyone standing in it every round (6 seconds): cold, fire, acid or poison, depending on the area.
- Damage resistance of the matching type reduces that damage.
- Some of these areas also have localised extreme events from time to time. They deal more damage than the steady weather and are short.
