    Default Winter Battles: Yes or No?

    Hi all,

    Like the title says, do you like winter battles or not?
    Personally I really hate winter battles and I think they don't add much to the gameplay, so I would prefer to have no winter battles at all.

    So, what's your opinion? If the majority also dislikes winter battles I will disable them completely with the next patch.


    EDIT: my vote goes to only summer battles, of course

    I like them but dislike blizzards/snowing... just snowy ground perhaps? Oh and any chance there could be a winter stratmap texture in the next patch or two?

    I like winter battles. Especially when I play a faction like the Dwarves. For me it really adds to the atmosphere.

    i think that the weather should be varied,its more realistic
    Arise, arise, Riders of Theoden!
    Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
    spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered,
    a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

    Indeed. I would ing love to burry some Goblins in a thick pack of snow. (Most of) The mountains should have permanent snow. Fighting in a blizzard is hell, but that's what you get when you mess with the Dwarves!
    Not sure if things like Gondor and Rohan should get snow... I think only the really north / as far as it's realistic (I have no clue)

    I'd miss them. They offer a different battlemap look from time to time and theres nothing bad with variety.

    Are there that much of them to justify a delete because of annoyance anyway?
    If i recall it right there are near to no regions with snowfall in current middle earth, so snowy battlemaps are kinda rare. Though i'd personally like some more of them in the Northern Waste & Mountain regions

    Wrong. I vaguely recall that during a particularly cold winter, the Bywater river (or was it the Brandywine?) froze over and snow fell. My memory could be way off, but there were definately snow in Forochel and the Withered Heath, for example.

    You know me as a fan of realism in my projects....
    It is true that batlles were postoned in winter(even in tales like LotR)...
    But i have to vote for winter batlles because winter is part of the game...
    An alternative would be a postone of battles via script if we would like not to have winter battles...
    I voted to have both winter and summer batlles...
    I like the way you can not see your ennemy in the snowfall...
    TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
    Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
    read this to avoid misunderstandings.

    IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
    Adding MARKA HORSES in your mod and create new varietions of them. Tutorial RESTORED.

    I actually like winter battles, along with the blizzards and such. I say keep em' it makes things more interesting.

    I dislike winter battles too. Maybe what i would like is some slight snow (i recently saw a great example of this while playing as rhun on the steppe) , or heavy rain, while in winter season. But definitely nothing like winter storms, it not fits the middle earth world very well. If we base our assumptions among lore, it seems like the northern parts of middle earth are at most based around central-northern europe clime, like Germany or England or Ireland. But definitely not as north as Sweden per example.

    My vote goes for no snow at all, or maybe slight snow while in winter on northern regions. Never a completely snowed field thought.

    You are correct, during the "fell winter" the Brandywine froze over and white wolves came and attacked the Shire.

    No winter battles. But 3 summers and 1 winter, would also be good, if it could be made without messing up
    aging.

    Anyone else had a winter in the desert?

    Yes, I think winters do add to the atmosphere and they should be permanant in north and never in south.

    It is possible to do 3 summer and 1 winter without strange ageing. Some one made a minimod that had 12 months a year and used counters in script to do the season, there were also harsh and mild winters and characters aged properly. I think that could easily be appiled to TATW.

    It is possible to do this, it would require a re-do of the campaign map and the editing of a few of the climate/weather files to make permanant snow.

    Btw it wont let me vote, maybe I don't have enough posts?
