    I have not gotten as much weather in RTW that I recall getting in MTW and STW.

    However I have had a couple of dawn/dusk battles that looked absolutely gorgeous.

    who had nearly fought the Dragon of Agnor,
    who had nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol,
    and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill.

    Carthaginian Campaign battles...

    One in Sicily against Scipii and one in Lybia against Rebels.

    At first I thought my eyesight was going from playing RTW to long.

    Then I picked up the golden hues and darker shades.

    Once I realized what it was I was pretty impressed.

    Took a while for it to sink into my sleep-deprived brain.

    I suppose it's all going to depend on where one is battling. If you're Scipii down battling for Sicily then you're not going to get much in the way of fog or snow. We really need to hear from those battling up the North.

    But alas, I do remember with fondness the heavily snow and fog battles in STW where visibility could be so poor that both you and the AI would surprise each other! Truly adrenaline rushing events they were, and were great for breaking the mould of the boring sunny day battles.

    But I seem to remember that nightbattles will not happen in RTW, unless you play them long enough for night to come, and then dawn again... I can't possibly believe you played that long, especially with all the battle timer talk going on.

    I've not seen any real evidence of weather yet, after many, many battles. I did get a comment once about the desert being hot so troops would tire quickly. I've been fighting in Sicily, Sardinia, Africa, Spain and southern Italy. I've also not seen the time of day change, of course, with a 20 minute timer it really wouldn't matter.

    Perhaps when I get up north there will be weather?

    This is so much different than MTW, where every single day it rained, snowed or had a sandstorm, even if it started out "fair." Would be nice if we could get a little balance...

    Oh, man one of the first times I played STW alone, at home, I cranked the volume
    Forecast:
    Heavy Rain all day

    I was playing then

    "BOOOOOOOOMMMMM CRACKKKKKKKKK"
    Man the lightning on the game is so real sounding, I jumped...
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

    I finished my Julii campaign and after 100+ battles these are the weather conditions I have had:

    1. Fair
    2. Snow (light)
    3. Rain (light)
    4. Fog (light)

    I know there are other weather conditions becasue I've seen them in custom battles.
