Any way to stop a blizzard?

[Meee]

Other than moving it as an Illian, of course. Also, do they still destroy improvements?

Blizzards won't cross Ancient Forests, so adopt FoL and you'll be safe as houses.

 

[Meee]

Excellent. Already had that. Guess all I have to do is cast Genesis to clear the tundras and I can laugh at the Illians while all my opponents suffer.

Or you could kill the wretched scum instead, excuse the language. Illians are not nice to have in the game...

i don't know if they have any thing for stoping/canceling out the blizzard like they do in the AOI scenario that came with BTS

but as for the land, u can use scorch (lvl 1 sun spell) to melt tundra into plains and/or vitalize (lvl 3 nature spell) to change the land ultimately into grassland. spring (lvl 1 water spell) changes desert into plains.

I did in my last game. Illians are normally top of my hit list with any fool that founds AV being second. The Blizzard didn't stop! Cast Genesis and went on a terraforming spree with Spring, Scorch and Vitalize. Still had a Blizzard in my lands. All my automated workers loved running through it.

Air 1 (Fair Winds) should blow it away. Fair Winds isn't that great a spell, and this would boost it a little, as well as giving players a countermeasure against Blizzards.

I'd like to see the Blaze spell have some effect on them.

Maybe casting it would remove blizzards within 1 tile, and prevent any new ones from moving within 1 tile of a Flames tile.

 

[Meee]

Yeah.. My whole land is ancient forests, so the blizzard just ended up trapped. Do they still move like in the scenerio?

i lke the idea of having fair winds spell also be able to "blow-move" the blizzard away-remove. makes sense and gives fair winds spell more utility beyond just a spell to help naval units.

well maybe, being a lvl 1 spell would make it too easy to cancel-remove blizards..but i'm sure this can be worked out. u don't want to have it be too easy to remove the bliizards cuz that would be bad for the illans.
