Battle Weather Update
Absolutely enormous thanks goes to Mazisky for sharing his vast expertise on battle weather.

Snow
  • In most climates, any battle you fight during winter will be fought with snowy weather in battle
  • Three different types of snowstorm are possible
  • Snow will be present both on the ground and falling through the air, and the sky will be cloudy and cold
  • Snow should not appear in the desert, jungle, tropical islands, or within the otherworldly Chaos Realms (though of course it snows in the Chaos Wastes).

Rainy Season
  • Instead of snow, battle maps in the jungle experience the Rainy Season instead
  • Rainstorms during the rainy season are far more powerful than those in the vanilla game, with much more rain and strikes of lightning

Desert Winter
  • Winter does not cause precipitation on desert battle maps, but it should make them look somewhat colder and change the skies

Mystery Night Battle Weather
  • On the cursed Mystery Night (Geheimnisnacht), your battles will be fought under a terrifying green moon.
  • This occurs in late summer

Custom Effects for Lords
  • Morathi's Cult of Pleasure (and Ssildra Tor) now celebrate, rather than fear, the daemonic Mystery Day
  • Arkhan the Black now celebrates the vampiric holiday of Witching Day
  • Azazel, Sigvald, Festus, Valkia, and Vilitch now are treated as factions of their respective Chaos Gods, for better flavor

Mod Support
  • Improved support for Gnoblar Hordes, Jade Vampires, Legions of Nagash, and OvN's Fimir cultures by treating them as Greenskins, Vampire Counts, Vampire Counts, and Norsca, respectively, rather than giving them the generic calendar.

Update
New Holiday
  • The High Elves now celebrate the Feast of Deliverance, in observance of the treeman Oakheart heroically saving their beloved Princess Yvraine, at the start of spring. (Thank you to Sagittarius for the suggestion)

Lore
  • Vampire Counts and Vampire Coast now use the Imperial names for the months and holidays, as they are largely dead Imperials, and the aesthetic fits them well
  • New month names for Cathay, taken from the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar (as GW has not yet supplied lore for Cathayan timekeeping)
  • New factional flavor text for Mystery Day and/or Witching Night for many factions, including Chaos, Norsca, Beastmen, Skaven, Lizardmen, and Tomb Kings
  • Assorted new factional customization of text

Mystery, Witching Night, and Wordstill
  • Mystery Day now provides Chaos factions access to various new benefits, including mild factionwide buffs for Beastmen and daemonic summons for most other factions
  • Witching Night now provides unnatural vigor to the undead
  • Worldstill now (slightly) saps the strength of daemonic, undead, and Beastmen units
  • New prettier moon icons
  • The three major holidays now have an explanatory effect if you are playing a faction other than the ones that benefit from them. For instance, Empire is informed that vampiric factions are stronger when it is Witching Night.

Factional Holidays
  • Updated Kislev's Waking Day and winter hibernation effects for bears with new custom effects to better simulate the lore of the bears snoozing, then getting mad when woken
  • Fixed Rebirth of Orion to provide him Regeneration instead of Unbreakable (which he already has). Combined with his cloak, he will heal quite rapidly on his holiday. (Thank you to cybvep for pointing out this redundancy)

Update: 13 May, 2024 @ 12:47pm

Update
  • New custom text for Lizardmen and Kislev
  • Farms in Bretonnia and Kislev produce more money during harvest season (autumn), and less during winter
  • Vampiric factions gain a penalty instead of a bonus to Control in spring, but in return, get a bonus to Control in autumn
  • Beastmen, with their close tie to Morrslieb, gain a special ability on Mystery Night
  • Text and effect tweaks
  • Solved the Mystery of the Missing Early Winter Icon
