Hurricane from the live stream today

So there going with super rare Annular hurricanes instead of the traditional spiral bands style.

Those are the only hurricanes I've ever seen

I agree looks good to me lol

 

[Giskler]

The actual river (highlighted part) doesn't go into Brazil though.

Yea, it's entirely outside the borders of Brazil. The only nation that makes sense is the Inca empire.

Difficult to read since it's only visible for 1 frame.

The text reads:

CLIMATE CHANGE PHASE II

Climate Change Points 1/4
1 from World Realism
0 from Global Temperature

EFFECTS ADDED THIS PHASE

Sea Level rises +1.0 meters
Lowland tiles will be submerged at or below
Coastal Lowland 1 Meter

Polar Ice Melt ???

Thanks @Eagle Pursuit. That’s... a lot of ice melt. 1/5 tiles.

20%

I read 20% as well, but isn't that a incredible amount for the classical era? Or do maps start with more ice now?

Did they ever say if this just affects ice or also tundra becoming plains and snow turning into tundra? And ice is always turning into ocean tiles or can there be land below the ice?

Maybe it's 2.0%?

It is right there in the name.

Would be fairly anachronistic, though. By that time, every civ had access to iron. Coal's a much better differentiator of who should be able to build that type of weapon at that time.

Was coal that limited as a resource or was it more about steam engine technology? I'm having trouble picturing a nation being able to produce enough steel to cover the ship and not have coal to power it. Something like a turtleship had scale armor and sales, but (north) Korea is extremely coal-rich.

So it appears the Maori have their own unit skins, do y’all think this could apply to other civs that need their own skin (ex: Cree and Mapuche )

I think they confirmed that in the Hungarian stream where the swordsmen had sweet heater shields.

Hopefully. Hungary had never before seen swordsman as well iirc.

Hurricane from the live stream today

I really like this graphic of hurricane.

 

[TheMarshmallowBear]

I really like this graphic of hurricane.

Except that... awkward.. movement...

 

[Dark_Jedi06]

I really like this graphic of hurricane.

Especially when it's partially in the fog of war!

I will agree that the movement is a little janky though.

 

[Disgustipated]

Yeah the movement is weird. But hurricanes do often change direction. But usually in a sweeping arc.

Though I believe Central American hurricanes do weird things (turns I mean) like Hurricane Mitch quite a few years ago.

It just looks weird because it goes so fast.
