ORIGINAL: trees trees I really liked Froonp's suggestion a week or two back to change the terrain when required by the weather, i.e. swamp>forest in winter, desert>remain clear in rain, frozen lakes, etc. Especially so for desert, it is always easy to forget how weather is handled there. My proposal was also to have new graphics for each terrain. For example, to have a snow covered land for the clear terrain under snow, with patches of terrain not covered by snow. I think this would very beautifull to have the map covered by snow when winter comes. Also, as the map is an abstract view from above, this would be more logical to have the ground covered by patches of white when snow falls, and more even white when blizzard is blowing. Also, showing the change of terrain cover (swamp --> forest) seems to me quite mandatory, because new players won't know this happens. Showing them that this happens by changing the graphic would be a good thing. Well, that forest need to have patches of white snow too, because it is winter.
