| Summary | 0004350: Random Events / Natural Disasters | ||||
| Description | I know we're not playing Sim City here, but I do think the prospect of random events and/or natural disasters that impact the game world and/or your settlement would be awesome (if this is not already planned). Off the top of my head, I could name a few things that would be awesome to see: * Powerful windstorms (that, every once in awhile, reduce the effectiveness of your wind shelters and roads * Invasion (a warning lets you know that monsters are going to be attacking more often for a few turns) * Snowstorms (they cause even more coldness, potentially reducing character moral and/or food output) * Heatwaves (I haven't gotten far enough in the game to see what water wells are used for, but if water is important, this could magnify its importance) * Flooding (reduces the output of food) * Sunny skies (the increase the output of food/increase morale) * Robbery (a rare chance that someone sneaks into the settlement and steals some resources) * Divine intervention/or something of that nature (a rare chance more resources appear in the stockpile) * Flu/sickness/plague/etc. (reduces morale, rare chance it kills one or more of your characters) * Babyboom (rare chance a new character is born into the settlement) The list could go on and on and on — I'm sure the suggestions would be plentiful — but you get the point. It would add a level of randomness to the whole experience and make things more interesting and mysterious. It would also give the player reason to prepare for the worst events, embrace the rare good events, and, overall, keep things fresh if and when there is a lull in the action. So, if this isn't already planned or included, I think it should at least be up for serious consideration for future versions. | ||||
