Weather/climate changes in WoC

[gegabitelord]

I was Wondering if it's possible to put weather and other climate changes to the game like ice ages or volcanic eruptions that affect the entire planet in some way.

Say for instance it's 2021AD and you've discovered all the available technology and by some miracle your still a peace with the other powers on planet, believe it or not I have indeed found my self in such a place and this is usually the time I start a new game, because it just gets boring, maybe an ice age or some other international disaster could happen which would drive the major powers to war rather than me declaring war on an ally for no reason just to keep the game going.

And there's already a mod in BTS that uses the ice age idea in which as the ice age grows, land on the east side of mountains remains warm and fruitful while land on the west becomes a frozen wasteland.

Sounds like a great idea.

It would be nice to see some more effect when it comes to global warming/climate change too.

ei:
- Industry and industrial buildings in the world add to global warming.

- Volcanoes like you mentioned

- Meteor (and showers) either throwing up stuff in the atmosphere, adding water to oceans, or bringing other substances (ie: new materials, alien viruses, biological organisms, alien tech, etc..)
It would also be nice to have some control over that effect (like Sim Earth)

- Solar flares would be neat

- pandemics

I like the idea of global warming and climate change added to th game but would also like to see resources like Oil and Coal going from a major resource to a minor resource and not financially viable to mine. So the need to secure resources that you once had in abundance and have now run out compleatly or the technology that you have in not sufficient to get 100% of the resource out of the ground. Eg. If an oil well is at the cutting edge of technology then you will only be able to get about 43% out of the ground if you are extremely lucky. The technology to get any more out of the ground is not available yet.

What about the possiblility of having terrorist activities that could work similar to spies. That could be determined by how you treat other nations/ religions etc. (yes it is a controversial topic but I would like the mod to reflect real life as much as possible)
