Natural Disasters

Postby joshua johnson » Sat Sep 11, 2004 3:28 pm

It would be interesting for Natural Disasters to hit the game. I know that some people have suggested weather, this is a more drastic twist on that.

Perhaps in the forests it would be fires, which you could smell the smoke and which way it was coming from, so you had a day or so to leave, or else it would injure you, and damage homes.
On the shorelines it would be typhoons, hurricanes, or flooding, which would injure you, only less injury if you were inside. buildings would need repair.
On the seas....hurricanes or high winds to blow you off course, or damage your boat which would need repair.
Plains (fields) would be subjected to tornadoes
Northern areas might get blizzards
Deserts could get sandstorms.
Mountains might be more prone to earthquakes, and areas near the mountains more prone to flash floods from mountain runoff. The flash floods could even wipe away buildings from time to time, and certainly wash away items on the ground, although those items might end up in another location, or new items might show up.
Of course, other areas could have flash floods or earthquakes as well.

Perhaps each area has a % chance each Cantr year of disaster or something.
I think, therefore I think I am, I think

Although disrupting the social order is fine by me, this seems like a difficult and unimportant way of doing it. Also, it makes very little sense with Cantr physics, which have no weather whatsoever.
You see 1 typhoons hit a man in his twenties.
You see 1 typhoons hit a woman in her twenties.
You see 1 typhoons kill a man in his fifties. :twisted:

Yeah...this should be discussed when Cantr 2.0 is here, and maybe it will be too advanced even then :lol:
