    I hate playing in the stupid rain and fog when I am in sunny climes so much that I will reload. Very often I'll get different weather. Weather doesn't appear to affect combat at all.

    Weather doesn't affect the units, but they do affect the player.

    I don't mind the rain, but playing in foggy conditions normally end up with disastrous results.

    It doesn't affect units? Did not know that! I assumed archers would be less accurate, because of strong wind and wet bow strings.

    On the other hand I had an awesome siege during a huge thunderstorm, the rain was pouring like no tomorrow and lightning was flashing every minute. Really cool weather.

    I just press the "wait" button until the conditions are more suitable. However, fighting the odd battle in the fog or the rain can be fun for a challenge.

    As MStumm mentioned above, I love defending a siege in thunder storms. Adds a little to the suspense and awe to it all.

    i thought rain did affect archers. I know snow helps some units (not sure which) and rain weakens the greek flamethrower things in the crusade expansion

    I still thinks weather doesn't play an effect to the units. Battle terrain certainly does, such units gets bonus fighting in snowy and desert conditions, but they don't get bonus fighting while snowing or in a desert storm.

    I'm still not 100% sure though, would some expert come and clarify this?
