Really adds a lot, i think.

hi ,

with in limits is the goal of course , ......

have a nice day

this is something i really expected to see in civ3. after all, it was in smac, and it seemed to work there, atleast for me. of course it would be an option, for all those wimps out there who couldnt deal with it

when it hits the water it could cause a tidal wave!

hi ,

yes , and when it hits land it should move inland , one or two squares , and destroy a mix of roads and other improvements , .....

have a nice day

There could also be forest fires that would have to be contained by workers, otherwise they would destroy improvements and even threaten cities. Then there are of course hurricanes and tornados, but if those disasters would be implemented they would have to keep them in their natural habitats. That is to say near the equatore ( don´t know how it is written). Of course in order to implement these thing they would have to make the game a whole lot more complex, a weather system.

natural disasters would be a great addition. imagine stomping on all your opponents only to find your best cities flooded so that now your opponents have a chance to catch up.

hi ,

well , what about a nuke , going of , in front of the coast line , creating a tidal-wave , .....

have a nice day

I rather destroy the city, not the improvements.

Every option adds to the game, even if I'd keep this one off.

Craters created by mountains and hills would be pritty cool! Coral reafs could be wiped out (neaby sea squares change to ocean squares). Any other nice things to destroy?

Some fun disasters (not fun in real life)

I think all the destructive ones should kill one or two pop points and have a chance of destroying one random improvement.

Hurricaines (coastal cities)
Tornados (open spaces cities)
Forest Fires (forest tiles)
Earthquakes (along fault lines which can be put into the map)
Drought (each tile making 2 or more food makes one less for 3 or 4 turns... any tile)
Floods (rivers)
Volcanoes (mountains... but especially along fault lines)
Avalanches (snow capped mountains)
City Fires (any city)
Windstorm (desert)
Rock Slides (hills or mountains)

Size 1 or 2 size towns could be wiped out and anything bigger is safe from total destruction.

Maybe a 1-5% chance that any disaster could be an "Ultimate Disaster" that could destroy 2 or 3 times as much.

There could be a tech like "Modern Architecture" which would reduce the likleyhood that these disasters destroy buildings. The population should always have the same risk though (no technology will save you if you're caught out in a hurricaine without shelter). Added improvements like a firehouse would be welcome and would halve the chance of destruction from a city fire.

Frequency could be selected at the start of the game... Happy Planet, Content Planet, Restless Planet, Angry Planet.

I live on a happy planet!

Sorry, can't say that with a straight face.

hi ,

, very good , and the idea of building certain buildings would be great to , they would serve just for the disaster's , or to protect against a bombing run , like the firestation , the damage would be a bit less , or against a spy , putting a fire in a city , ...

have a nice day

Good idea about the spy. Makes me think of a Far Side cartoon. There's two cows sitting in a stable outside Chicago circa "Great Chicago Fire" time. The city is ablaze and one of the cows says, "Looks like agent 02843 accomplished her mission."



And you have a nice day as well.
