Clouds and Weather improvements, Weather effects and Weather themes
Gonna be long.. *cough cough*
**Please do not move this to suggestions, because this thread would probably become more of a discussion**
Clouds&Weather improvements
Let me start by saying that regarding to the cloud update, there should be more weather.
And I think clouds should be better if its like this: A sunny day would have no clouds at all or few clouds. In the pic, I blackened the dark areas by 20%. A cloudy day would have a pretty great number of clouds. I blackened the dark areas by 20% here too, but there are many dark areas. An overcast would mean the entire map is darkened. I blackened the dark areas by 50%. A rainy day would just be an overcast, except it is raining. I have no photo for this. The dark areas are blackened by 50%, plus rain.
A stormy day is just like an overcast, but it's way darker and there are rains and thunder. In all of these weather, a fog can happen the same time.
Also, a nice fade out effect would be cool if a weather will change.
PART 2
Weather effects
Regarding to its name.
For example, the chance of having the fire disaster is very high when sunny, higher when cloudy, neutral when its overcast, lower when its raining, and very lower when storming.
The chances of having a Flood disaster is higher when its raining, very high when its storming, neutral when its overcast , lower when its cloudy and very low when its sunny.
The chances of getting a Tornado is very high when stormy, higher when its overcast, neutral when its raining, lower when its cloudy and very low when its sunny.
Noise from factories, etc. is most effective when its stormy, more effective when its rainy, neutral when its overcast, cloudy and sunny. Because noise from rain and storms may be tolerable enough- but when we add the effects of noise pollution, then its.. achy.
The list go on, but that are some of the things I listed. Please list more!
PART 3
Weather themes
There are more, but I'll list 3:
When there is a meteor, BEFORE, DURING and a short time AFTER the meteor strike, the screen will be red. In this I reddened it by 30%.
When there is a nuke attack, DURING and a short time AFTER the attack, the screens will be red (too). In this, because the effects of a nuke is way worse, I reddened it by 50%.
(I do not think this is too realistic) When there is a UFO attack, WHEN the laser beams are striking, the screen will be green. In this I greedened it by 30%.
A nice fade out effect would be cool. Also, there should be also weather effects. For example, when there is a meteor or nuke, when its cloudy or sunny, all the clouds would dissapear, assuming that they evaporated. When its overcast, it will be cloudy. When its raining, the rain will stop and would simply be an overcast. When its storming, the storm would simply become rain.
Too much clouds are not enough to be completely evaporated.

Re: Clouds and Weather improvements, Weather effects and Weather themes
great I agree this is good.
but not really with the weather theme (especially the alien
)
if possible this would be a nice feature

Huh... The 50% darkened version could be good for a " night brighteness "

The idea is nice but the effects are too much...
Re: Clouds and Weather improvements, Weather effects and Weather themes
I like the red effect when meteor hits...

Re: Clouds and Weather improvements, Weather effects and Weather themes
I got tons of other ideas..
2 of them are very complex and very hard to explain, and contains some physics and geology *cough cough*
