Yes, the weather...
This is very very important to the success of the game. Frankly I've found each succeeding version of the Total War series has downplayed the importance of weather...
In ShogunTotal War the weather was incredible not only in battlefield tactics but in creating a definite atmosphere. There were heavy fogs, damp misty mountains, driving torrential rainstorms, and incredible howling blizzards. I loved the blizzards. In fact STW gave off an incredible atmosphere of climate that has been rarely matched in its successors. MTW had it's desert sandstorms it's true, and I loved dealing with the tactical problems this brought on but really the atmosphere just isnt't there,though I have had one good battle in the fog with the British in RTW.
Please, Hoggy, if it's at all possible, boost the weather values in your mod. It would be very cool if some new hellish skies could be ported into the landscapes for the land of the Daemons. And there could be some nightmarish black driving rainstorms there too. Nothing like having the enemy howling down out ot the mountains just as a torrential downpour bursts on your head...
And Korea and northern China will need some really wicked snowstorms, not like the wimpy few flakes of snow we get now in RTW...
