IDEA: Weather cycle in a new C&C ?

[NixonZz]

What do you think of a weather cycle ?

What do you think about a new options in skirmish "activate weather cycle" and select the weather of you want or make it random and adapt you tactics for win.

Examples:
- When its stormy and rainy moment on a maps,it's diffucults to use air unit,best tactics for kill your enemies is to use floor units.


- When its sunny you can use every units,your air and floor units are the best here and you can customise the stealth of your units.


- When its night use your best stealth units for make a other tacticts for kill your enemies,your floor units can use nightvision and other equipments.


- when its snowy, use a other typ of stealth for hide your units in snow for make a surprise rush

It would be really cool.

It should be like this:

You start a map which are based on a normal sunny day. Later it goe to night, maybe rain and thunder.

And it back to day, etc.

Well, all games you will play will be more based on how it is now a days. I war in 2000 isn't just a hour or so, it can be weeks or years.


But the idea you have with snow could also work, but I don't know. I hope the coming cnc could have something like this. It's cool, and it would be more realistic than it is now in the cnc games.

Sure, why not, just as long as they don't make it too gimmicky.

A day/night cycle would give you more of an idea how long an actual skirmish would take.

And Commando missions during night time just sounds plain cool.

I've posted in topic near, so I'll repost

7) Maybe weather effects? On different maps or as different gameplay modes or changing in game? Weather, that changes vision of your units (fog), speed of your units (winter, where some units moves faster, and some wheel-units (or bikes, or something other) moves slower), rain (decreases accuracy of some or all units), storms (disables air or reduces air effectiveness, like air will move slower as exaple), extreme winter (no infantry, or infantry moves slower, or you must move infantry all time, because it will be frozen like in RA3 by Cryocopter and easy killed), extreme storm (1-2 of your vechicles will be taked up

Weather cycle sounds good, and in Tiberium, a Ion cycle will be nice too.

I think that i an excellent idea. If you have a map based in England pretty much nothing would move though and you'd be forced to just use militia because we panic when there is snow and ground EVERYTHING, we stop trains when leaves fall on the line, lorries blow over in high winds and block roads and when the sun comes out we think it's a UFO. But for other countries this is a good idea.

Maybe C&C can be Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 like.... when talking of weather.

At least adding snow and rain in the game would be really nice, I really hope VG guys add it to the game.

I approve of the idea so long as it affects gameplay.

Sounds awesome.
Snow should slow down light vehicles.
