Ad. 6. Hurricanes and tornadoes will be related to LATITUDES ofc.

has this been added yetand if not when willit be? Would love to use the mod but feel that it could be perfected with defensive techniques/buildings.

Oh! Gold is usually left behind in Hurricanes so maybe have gold sometimes appear in the wake of them (if you can figure out if it's possible).

Where do I save the file to?

Would you be able to add a foreign aid mechanic to AI? Or is that too complicated? Would be cool to request foreign aid should an earthquake hit, or conversely, give foreign aid to a nation hit by a natural disaster, thus improving relations.

@Killerjerick The idea of some aid to civs that had a disaster has already been put on the table. However, the current state of modding doesn't allow for that - the diplomacy area has very little support.

Fair enough, that's a shame, maybe firaxis will open up modding support in the future and it'll allow for things like that, either way, I'm very much looking forward to this mod.

Sounds great, wondering though: will multiplayer be supported with version 2? Currently it causes desyncs almost every turn and phantom disasters.
Edit: Ok, might not be the cause of desyncs, but it was causing disasters on one client that weren't reflected in the other client.

I think you should add pandemias please like the black plague or smallpox? Perhaps it cuts down population and spreads via trade routes?

Is this still being worked on?

I'd like to suggest another type of storm to add to your next version: severe thunderstorms which produce a lot of lightning strikes!

Spawn chance: wherever & whenever a blizzard, dust storm, hurricane, or tornado would naturally spawn, there is a 25% chance that it will be a thunderstorm instead.

Sizes: Mild - 1 tile, Moderate - 3 tiles in a triangle (like Eye of Sahara), or Severe - 7 tiles in a circle

Visual Effect: a thick cloud with a dark shadow beneath it, lightning bolts (both inside cloud and arcing from ground to cloud) act as a source of light if sources other than sun is enabled.

Risk / Reward: starts a forest fire if it passes over any woods tile, which can be put out by any available builder, military engineer or other support unit without costing a charge. These fires won't pillage anything on the first turn that they're made but will pillage improvements and neighborhoods in adjacent tiles if they are not put out within 1 turn after starting. If a T-storm passes over a building that requires power (airport, broadcaster, factory, stock exchange, etc.), that building will be fully powered for free during that turn. This mechanic should sometimes help a city to briefly conserve coal or oil consumption.
Example: a city that has a factory and stock exchange requires 5 total power; the local coal power plant provides only 4 power per coal unit burned, so it normally over-compensates by burning 2 coal per turn to provide 8 power (3 power surplus)! A T-storm strikes the stock exchange, temporarily lowering the power burden, resulting in the coal plant burning only 1 coal unit (to power the factory) for that turn, which also reduces the CO2 output of your civ during that turn!

Notes about my previous post: the graphics option to which i referred was Dynamic Lighting - if toggled off, lightning bolts would still be visible but wouldn't illuminate shaded areas.

* Also, all support units except battering ram & siege tower should be able to put out fires.

@mundi
I do not plan to do any modifications to the mod except making sure it is working on base game and rise & fall.
Besides - I am not a graphics guy, wouldn’t be able to add any new graphics.
