we have winter, why not the rainy season ?

[wolfFRdu64]

i know it no evry where they are rainy season, but it's same for winther, so why no add it,

what it add for me : good crops

but more disease and some chance the river cannot be sailed

it is possible i don't have evry thing how can apen when a raining season

so what do you think ?

If they add rain, I hope they include mildew too.

Monsoons for South Asia would be neat. Floods on the Nile or and the Euphrates would be interesting, too, especially with local movement effects.

This should be moved to the Suggestions section. But yes, I agree overall.

Given that Winter came in a Flavor Pack, Rain/Monsoon sounds like it's something that would be added in a relevant flavor pack. I agree it makes most sense with an Indian/SEA pack.

However, thinking a little bit more about game mechanics, Rain/Storms would seem to have a less direct impact than Winter. Winter has serious consequences for warfare/attrition. Rain (in Europe) would be much less so.

Things that rainfall would impact more would be sailing, which is not really implemented; or crops/flooding/drought, which would just be simple territory modifiers and not really noticeable to your gameplay.

I would also love to see more added to the game, and we will, but this particular idea would need some special impact to the mechanics to become a major part of a flavor pack.

I loved the monsoons in EU4. Just don't design it like the bad CK2 rain event that just randomly destroys your crap all the time.

The desert storms are cool in HoI4 too. Some kind of 'drought' mechanic would be interesting. Lowering levy and taxes and the possibility of losing some weight.

If pandemics are ever looked at again some kind of blight pandemic causing famine would also feel era appropriate.

All year round for Irish provinces (bar the odd Tuesday in July. We call that summer)?

My flooded basement this spring would vehemently disagree.

Storms raising river levels causing people who can to be able to sail further up rivers, storms at sea causing army attrition when you go to war (a la Spanish Armarda despite that being later and CK3 not using ships to fight). I don't know if some of the longer-term effects of monsoons for instance (rivers actually changing course which happens naturally but floods can speed up), could be feasibly programmed into CK3. I rather doubt it and at best they would simply move a river from one side of a county to the other

Makes you wish this game had a reasonable way to represent the white ship disaster without just killing your heir when they're on a boat randomly.

How many holdings and what sort of supply rating does your basement have?

It would be amazing with more weather types. Generally, the map needs to become more alive. I feel that it currently looks like one of those large model boards with nice looking cities, castles and so on... but it is generally devoid of any life outside of armies moving around. Having tiny people walking between cities, ships sailing / fishing and a few animals standing around.
