Any storms at sea in 1.5 Imperial Campaign?

Yeah, floods happen occasionally in RTW v1.5. As mentioned in other topics, once you receive a flood in a province, the damage done to the terrain is irreplaceable. Even with various types of roads present, any unit's movement points are signifcantly reduced, and in some cases units move across the terrain rather than stick to the road.

Think once a flood occurs, the settlement garrison is unharmed (although buildings may be damaged), but any units ungarrisoned in the province will take casualties. Think this is the same with volcanic eruptions.

I don't think that game even parses descr_disasters.txt file (the one containing info about random disasters, not the one about historic ones).

For test, fill descr_disasters.txt file (data\world\map\base) with bunch of garbage characters.

Then delete map.rwm (so that map info gets regenerated).

Start campaign, play several turns, exit.

Not a single error message, nor crash (even with -show_err option).

P.S.
It would be good if someone else could confirm this with his own testing.

I have had floods and earthquakes in 1.5 BI...

what is strange however that an amry in the field got hit massivly by an earthquake. An army in openfield, no trees to fall on their head or rock slides... I lost 60% per unit of that army... and it was a full army.. ouch!

Would be more logical to have that mortality rate in a city...

No storms since the early games but I just had a flash flood that hit Thssalonica afew years back that killed 93 soldiers and 521 people. The flood showed quite nicely on the map.

let me ask an interesting question (for me at least heh):

is the player still alerted to disasters that occur outside of their fog of war?

No storms at sea in my 1.5 Carthage campaign (and I control the entire Mediterranean), though I did get a random earthquake a few turns ago.

I remember a storm at sea in my Makedon campain last days. I also noticed the usual Vulcan eruption at Capua and the Makedon plage early on.

Edit: Yes, I speak about 1.5
