Remove possibility of Storm Weather

Post by Jackal »

I was just recently playing a game with Battleboy and during our battle the weather went from calm to storm. When the weather hit storm, my infantry were automatically killed.

Initiative Phase for Round #7
-------------------
Battleboy rolls a 10[10+0].
Jackal rolls a 9[9+0].
Wind direction is North. Wind strength is Storm. The weather is Clear. Visibility is Daylight.

Mechanized Hover Rifle Platoon (Assault Rifle) ID:11 (Jackal) is in a storm and cannot survive there!!!.
*** Mechanized Hover Rifle Platoon (Assault Rifle) ID:11 (Jackal) DESTROYED by storm! ***


I would like to suggest removing the possibility of storm weather. It seems kind of unfair to lose units due to factors that are uncontrollable and unavoidable.

Thanks in advance,

Jackal

Oops, sorry. Thought I'd put it in MMNet suggestions.

Got a good idea to add to MekWars? We'd love to hear about it. (from that page, go to "Tickets", then "Feature Requests")

Possibility of Storm weather only exists in 2 terrain files (Tropical Monsoon and Tropical Monsoon Hot) at low chances. The issue you had was due to a BUG.

That said, I see no reason to have Storm set in any terrains at all and am removing the chance from those 2 terrains.

FYI - neither of those terrains exist on any planets on this server.
