[Suggestion/gameplay] seasons/weather and their effects on armies in the field.

hey brad, have you guys thought about implementing a weather cycle into the gameworld and how it would affect armies in the field? More specifically things like winter and how it tends to make waging war more difficult on armys. That kinda thing? I don't know if thats even something you are thinking about trying, but the idea sounds like it would fit with elemental. Maybe even some types of magic that can change the seasons.

Ya know, turn summer to winter and watch an army that was headed your way get slogged down in blizzards and snow. Other seasons have weather that can effect things like ranged weaponry in combat. Perhaps this is a bit too much "realism" for the world of elemental, but it was a thought I wanted to express interest in.

*edit: seasons could also effect things like farming and such too. Don't know how indepth the food economy is gonna be though but in theory it could go as complex as having to grow grain for livestock?

ciao froggie.
