BlueDragon, how hard would it be to add an option on game creation to allow Wind Speed and/or Direction changes? I don't mind the direction changes as much, but speed really seems to hamper game play.


Especially when it seems to have a tendency to go up to "Storm" and stay there. (It does, doesn't it, or have I just been unlucky a lot?)

Actually there isn't something special about Storm, it could just as easily stay there, move down, or rise up to Hurricane (ends the game immediately).
However, wind change can happen only every 3 turns, plus in some scenario the wind change is rare... and being with Storm (or light breeze) is extremely boring so I guess that makes even longer


I guess I have just been unlucky, but a lot of recent games seemed to get stuck on storm. Anyway, I agree with Electro. An option to disallow wind speed change (or to limit it) would be very nice.


I would add two options:
  • disable wind change (it says fixed as in the initial condition)
  • House rule
    In the House rule we just work a new rule/wind tables that makes it less annoying.
    One thing could be that if the wind goes to Storm, on the next occasion (3 turns after) it either goes Hurricane (end of game, maybe with a low chance) or it goes back to a lower wind.
    The same for the low winds, I would change it so that it does not stay without wind or on low wind too long.
