It would be a nice to have though.

From my reading it appears that sailing across the ocean was very dangerous at the wrong season. The stories of part of the Persian fleet being destroyed as it sailed around the eastern side of the island where Chalkis is in RS2.0. Also didn't more Roman ships get destroyed by storms than from action against Carthage in the first Punic war.

I guess the biggest problem to accurately show this is the lack of seasons - just summer and winter. I know RS won't have any more than that due to the effects 4tpy (for instance) has on traits - I think it messes them up.

I remember the 'earthquake' animation on the RTW map.
