Decrease chance of rain

[Angantyr]

Set rain probability to 5% instead of the current 15%?

15% may not sound that much on paper but can easily mean that 4 out of the 5 maps you have time to play an entire day will have rain.

More snow, less rain.

I think cmp is hiding something from us. It's not 15% chance for raining. It's connected with amount of tears generated in the Chamber of Tears. If we complain, we get rainy days as result.

Night + fog + rain is obviously result of someone going full retard...

And all ranged on one team

If less rain, more fog/snow please. The thing is, sunny maps are even more boring.

[Angantyr]

Sunny maps don't have the tedious athletics penalty which especially infantry suffers from. Also, I love snow but it carries the same dramatic penalties. Medieval battles were also only fought in anything but the right season (dubbed war season for a reason) and optimal weather at the most rare.

Honestly, my give a fuck o' meter is close to zero about these penalties. Not to mention 70% (or even more, just a speculated percentage) of the maps are sunny anyways. Well...why am I even here? Most of the people would play the sunny maps 24/7 because then there are no 'penalties', it's all about k/d and you can't do that well with rain or other visuals that you see in the nature all the time, by the looks of it. My point is, it would be nice to see some of those things in-game as well, it's not like there's only rain, there are other elements available as well! Oh, you think the little skirmishes on EU1 can be called battles :  I understand that all strategus battles are sunny and planned out, okay, as it's still strategus, but the normal servers...I wouldn't mind if there's fog and rain at the same time.

Edit: whoops, tried to edit my previous post, pressed the wrong thing, now can't remove double post (I suck, I know)

[Angantyr]

This isn't about k/d for anyone I think but the fact that the mod is less fun when slowed down.

[Torben]

id rather have "decrease chance of rainged"

[Logen]

Dunno, I rather like the various visual effects like rain and fog, I'd say keep the rain, just remove its effects on speed.

[Angantyr]

That's what I'd prefer myself, but last poll surprisingly showed the community was split on the issue of weather penalties.

[Knife]

Yeh, well in my humble opinion actually removing the penalties would satisfy both sides. However, as I understood there already was a poll about removing them and people didn't want it removed?
