For the moment, I'll suspend any opinions on the above.  Where a reader indicated liking a series, I posted the first example of that series.  I did not include the Civ IV Technologies on the list because those were spread out over three years and - while technically a series - are so different in scope that I did not feel that any one example could represent the whole group.  So we'll give the series an honorable mention.

  1. Curious question: Did you ever find a good resolution to either the prevailing winds or the duration of weather problem for your weather generation?

  2. Sadly, no. The funny thing about the weather system is that, just as I was starting to get a good handle on it, I stumbled across a website online that solved all my weather problems with one swoop.

    I hesitate to link the site, however, as it would allow my players to check out the weather ahead of time in the game, giving them an edge I don't want them to have.

  3. Can you share the link via email or PM?

  4. I posted the link on October 10 last year, Ozymandias.

  5. I hesitate to ask, as I don't wish to spoil anything in your games, but do you think you could send me some details about how you use that?
