Hurricanes...

[Foresight]

You might have noticed that this game is severely lacking in Naval Warfare. I think there should be areas in Sea/Ocean areas that are plagued by hurricanes. You can still go through them, but even Galleons/Transports/Cruisers have a chance to be sunk. Modern day ships such as battleships and so on can go through, but have a reduced number of moves.

uoi could take it step further and have hurricanes effect not one but maybe several costal cities. This would hurt the population and production of these cities, maybe for production set back what ever they were building by few shields. There is also the possibility that some improvements could be destroyed by this violent storm. Inland citites don't get protection either cause we could also introduce tornados or powerful storms. Weathetr and 'random events' should play a much bigger role in cIV
