Climate in some regions

[unmerged(8399)]

Hi
From EUII I remember playing the Mughal Empire that climate in some of the regions was very inaccurate. In modern Afghanistan, for instance, winters were really terrible, the Hindu Kush passes were not passable from November to May and the war season was very short, that was a very effective barrier to Mughal expansion. OTOH in Southern India the war season was limited by the Monsoon.

yeah, I agree. I think the problem was the limited number of climates available. It did a decent job, though. But I think especially the mountain areas south of 40 degrees latitude could have used some changes. And having monsoon seasons would be great, of course. It all depends on how influential the climate is going to be in EU3.

Methinks, 20ish climate types would be an OK model. The more the better, of course. I volunteer to identify them, if needed!

I think Johan stated once that weather system in EU2 was FUBAR and he will not fix it.

As far as the EU3 is concerned, I predict that weather system is near the top of his list. On another note, no visible weather (or effects) was shown in the screenies posted so far.
Including January in Sweden.

What is FUBAR?

Agreed. In EUIII, warring during winter should mean UTTER DEATH.

(The soldiers might also want to go back to their farms during harvest time.)

I sure hope nothing in EUIII will be "FUBAR" then.

it already does. If not for the winter alone, the hordes of "allies" should take care of it.

All that really matters to me is that there actually *is* a model. The existence of an annual and variable winter is one of my favorite parts of EUII, and it irritates me greatly that it doesn't exist in Victoria. Of course, while they're fixing it, it'd be nice if they could somehow include the effects of the Little Ice Age (at the very least, winter snowfall should be more extensive) and the expansion of the Sahara.

Agreed. That is what always comes to mind when I think about climate/warring. I want famine to strike in 1709ish if I am doing exactly as Louis XIV was doing!

That's modeled as 'war exhaustion' though.

It would be cool if there was the possibilty of bad harvests - so the production income from grain provinces varies, messing about with you support limits. It would also make colonizing grain provinces a priority, rather than just going for sugar/ tobacco/ spice.

Uhm discovering the route to india for grain?

Personally, I'd like to see winter (& storms) more variable, not just either/or. & see occaisonal storms over land.
