A Plea for More Realistic Deserts

[Tellos Athenaios]

Arabia Felix. Felix As in: _very_ fertile & lush.

Because the geography of the area provides the region with several large natural bassins....
Because of the location at the `right' side of the mountains (the effect of hot air containing quite a bit of water suddenly being pushed up a few km into colder layers of air...). Same effect explains why Wales gets so much rain compared to East Anglia.

[Iasonis]

Would it be possibly to bring back some of the medieval 1 effects of deserts on troops, mainly fatiguing the heavy armorered troops so even if they stand around in the sun not moving they still become fatigued and cannot recover while the units with no armor can recover and are uneffected. It really was a great strategy feature and made it desert combat very interesting. thanks!
