Dyanmic Floods and wildfires

[jrg262]

Hi - Apologies if I missed this topic in my search of the forums and manual. Is there a way for the game to handle dynamic enivornmental changes such as flooding or wildland fires? For example, can you simulate flooding a river as a way to defend an area? Alternatively, could a fire change the terrain type after it passes through or create smoke that could block ground and aerial LOS?

Thanks!

Although no flooding nor wildland fires, custom environment area (new feature in v1.05) may serve to your purposes. You can use cloud/fog layer in place of smokes.

You can do this by generating a no-nav zone where the flooding would be for the AI side, and activating it based on a trigger from a Special Action. (You could also destroy any units in the zone when it floods.)

Generating "smoke" with custom environment zones is a great idea, btw -- really want to try that now.
