Weather

[Sir Saladin]

Herbs and salves and witches with healing powers is realistic but not too practical in a combat game, I'm tired of games where I need to keep guzzling potions of healing just to win a fight. Of course it would be fun to track and kill a Wyvern or a dragon and kill it in a game like this but I can easily live without that because it just isn't needed. And I've been there and done that and I no longer want buffing spells or any darn spells at all. The horses in this game are like magic to me. In this game you can't play a thief or highwayman anyway, its just about fighting. So who needs more complications? Now gaining a keep and fending off real monsters (AKA men) that would be the cat's meow. Or becoming a robber Baron Ahh now that is fantasy.

No I dont mean Herbs in a magical way, i mean medieval normal medicine! It wouldnt give instant healing, would just allow or even increase normal healing speed and succesfull surgery chances.

Wyvern was just an example, ok in a realistic way we could say a Tiger, and instead of an egg you would get a tiger baby and pet it til it grow up, I mean so it becomes friendly and trustfull(almost).

The seasoning event that could be placed in a certain month only of the year, is a cool thing, it could be based on story, so if the player had read the game story (that still doesnt exist?) he could perceive the exact month and place where to make use of such advantages .

Rainy seasons, drought, winter, summer, etc. would be interesting.

Weather would be a really interesting possibility. It would add strategy to our campaign decisions.

As Borcha is fond of telling me, "Elephants are too damn expensive these days! And no damn good at all in the mud!"

So I'd have to reorganize my war party to reflect where I was going on my latest round of troublemaking.

So: light horse for the rainy season, war elephants for early summer, infantry for summer, heavy cavalry for fall, etc. (though these are only very loose guidelines, so don't think to surprise me with pikemen ).

Fall- Mix of rain and snow (Oil becomes expensive, food becomes expensive)

Food becoming more expensive is odd IMO, since isn't autumn the time when food usually gets harvested?
