Volcano!

[caralampio]

I thought that only flood, storm and earthquake disasters happened, but I just saw Vesuvius go active! When I zoomed in over Naples, people were screaming in terror, but I didn't get any disaster report and apparently there was no damage.



Now I wonder how locusts, horde and dustbowl disasters appear? I have never seen them.

Horde is probably referring to the Mongol/Timurid invasion? However I have never seen locust or dustbowl.

I wish the natural disasters in the game were increased by alotttttttt

Well it would be probably good thing, but since they are bugged it is not very good idea...

[axnsan]

if you zoom in in the nile delta you can hear locusts - i think that's what they mean by it :laughing:

I've never had vesuvius go active on me....

The volcano disaster has a bug (same as RTW) - if the report is activated, its effects are always devastating (~50% population). So no report ...

You mean that it has been fixed to avoid the bug?

Well I think that 50% pop dead would be realistic. Not very fair to Sicily though who owns both volcanoes...

If population was halved every 50 years, I am pretty sure nobody would settle in those regions. Reality is that 99% eruptions are essentially harmless in Italy.

Present model in SS is OK, except for the lack of reports - but those with an inclination to biblical disasters may want to modify the "descr_disaster.txt" files (one for EE and another for LE), setting the volcano warning to true - they'll be properly warned when Siculo-Norman population is extinct

Just saw the graphical effect (billowing smoke) for the volcano (Vesuvius) next to Naples. Unfortunately, though Naples itself suffered no effects, my besieging army (full stack) took a massive hit (50% losses perhaps, like previously reported); the garrison in Naples had no ill effects. The "screaming effect" was my men being toasted!

Funny that you had Vesuvius "erupt", with it's (so far) last eruption having been about 1000 years before the timeline of M2TW and all. Etna would've been a more logical choice, no?
