The Neptune hate was strong. Caligula had his praetorians grab sea shells and had them in a triumph as proof he defeated the god of the sea.

They already mentioned something like that provided you are in an area protected by a fort (not sure if that means just the fort city or adjacent ones too). If you are stand in the middle of nowhere it doesn’t matter if it is friendly or hostile territory.
Now do Avalanches aswell!!! 
With all thos snowy valleys, this would creat epic defense tactics.

We're not going to be scientifically accurate as lava does look cool.
Pyroclastic flows also look pretty awesome to be fair.
I wonder if the weather stuffs can be used to represent monsoon in India?
I think it could gives India additional flavor that makes it that more different compared to other region.

Love the storms. I hope that someday we'll see droughts, floods, and especially monsoons as well.
Will the storms affect movement speed at all? It seems logically storms would slow down units moving through them. I love the high attrition in this game, and don't want storms to be things you could easily avoid. If they don't slow you down, it would be gamey but you could almost bypass them by moving your units on the first of the month and going right through them

I'm really surprised with the addition of the storms I did not expect it, now you can take advantage and invade a territory that ended up going through a sandstorm since the troops of that region will be more weakened for example ( logically that maybe you is the unlucky and storm is in you territory
It was also said, that if you have fort you do not suffer attrition.
I'm pretty sure they are not going to add an unique animation for every vulcan, but they are showing Aetna in the screenshots.
I feel some Pictish piracy and another Rhodian campaign coming on. Excellent changes.
Yeah I've seen it. Have not actually considered that all of the fort ZoC could mitigate the effect but tbh it doesn't make much sense IMO.
If you STAND in the middle of nowhere - sure. But if you try to hide from extreme weather conditions (that's what it would be, sorry for the shortcut) in the middle of nowhere? Highly debatable.
Now, I may have not been clear enough on this but my main focus was the marching (through a strorm) part. Whether the territory's friendly or not, or in fact other possible and sensible modifiers (like eg civilization level or overall city pop happiness if the city's a friendly territory
) are secondary at best.Yeah I've seen it. Have not actually considered that all of the fort ZoC could mitigate the effect but tbh it doesn't make much sense IMO.

Since there isn’t a difference right now with desert or winter attrition based on if the unit is moving I don’t think there will be one for storms. Currently even the forced march penalty exists while not marching.
GREAT improvments!
I would like also weather affecting the economy, revolt risk and such. A Drought could hamper a whole econnomy in its time period.
Problem/ solution or mitigation
- Droughts: hamper economy ( tax, some produc output), pop decrease, increase revolt risk. / Granaries, importing food or by event redistribute or buy food.
- Flooding: hamper economy ( tax, some produc output), diseaseas, increase revolt risk / Infraestructure level.
- Harsh rain: Slow troop speed, increase attrition, hamper economy ( tax, some produc output), commerce / Infraestructure level.
also
- Good/Excellent wheather: increase tax, lower revot risk, increase happiness... also could increase certain product output.
The Attila total war has some good ideas of the time period weather bonus/panalties.

Erupting Etna is a very nice addition, but it most of it should be covered in snow when not erupting. (I climbed it and there's snow all year long)
Are there other means for new pirate havens to appear? B.c. this sound slike over time pirate havens will become more rare and rare.
Pirates as they are presented are between Barbarian and Mercenary.
I feel that them going away as time moves forward is like how barbarian camps disappear as time goes on (as civilization value grows).
