Floods & 1.0

[Primus Inter Duces]

- Floods: We have added code for floods (making flood-prone locations more likely to get them), but left it as a user-option since flooded provinces can be left with ineradicable movement penalties.

How does one "turn off" flooding?

[Spoofa]

how does one ACTIVATE these said floods?

I surely would like to add something to distract and deter my opponents in these flood prone area's...

Slaughter a virgin calf?

Slaughter a virgin calf?

what kind of person would be crazy enough to leave those virgin calves virgins?

[bovi]

A... Normal person?

I think Primus asked a legitimate question. If it's a "user-option" it would be nice to know how to enable or disable it. I'd want it disabled due to the permanent movement penalties.

[Foot]

it is disabled.

Just to clear things up: we did not enable flooding; as some people may experience irrevocable flooding: the land never dries up again. There was this screenshot about the south of Spain & Portugal being completely flooded and never turning back to normal again.

But if you would like to add floods to your game; there are some commented triggers which you simply need to un-comment in order for the floods to appear as they did in Vanilla. (With the risk of Atlantis, that is.)

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Yes, they need to activate them themselves if they want them *but* if they choose to do so, the floods will occur in more accurate areas though - I spent a good deal of time placing them so that they would not occur in stupid areas.

Now that's dedicated.

It's Teleklos, it goes beyond dedicated.

Make sure you delete map.rwm when you're done.

On a related note, I've been Hayasdan for nigh on 25 years now, and I still haven't seen a single disaster happening to me, be it earthquake, plague or volcano, even though I'm right smack in the middle of the Elburz and there are 'smokestacks' all over my provinces. Not that I'm complaining about the lack of disasters, but i thought there would have been more...

[Teleklos Archelaou]

The game doesn't notify you of disasters when they happen in other provinces you are unaware of via spies/soldiers/diplomats, *except* floods. But we disabled floods. So if volcanoes, plagues, or earthquakes are happening elsewhere, you won't know about it unless you have doodz there.

...or if you've turned off FOW.
