Ah that's too bad. Appreciate you looking into it.

@GEO Hi. I just looked at the config of lightning strikes. Unfortunately it is hardcoded. So to update the values one has to decompile the game. edit the sources, then build it. It is too much hustle for me for a such minor change. And the installation process would not allow using it via workshop.

Happy to help!

Ah, didn't realize the damage value was from weather on sea, that makes more sense now why it's so high.

@GEO I happy that you liked it.
Thanks for suggestions. Currently I am not actively modding, but have some unreleased mods and a dozen of ideas. Just feeling not enough motivated right now.
I suppose to make the land lightning less punishing one has to create separate type of weather (fires) to not modify the base values of sea lightning.
The weather getting progressively more dangerous, this is the idea i like. This would synegries with Cataclysm mod. Thanks, hopefully I will implement this in the future.

Also, I don't know if you're still modding EL, but I would like ot make a suggestion based off of reading through some of the comments below in regards to damage.

With regards to damage on lightning, maybe you could base the damage values on something closer to how Lava Flows [endlesslegend.fandom.com] work. That is have the damage value be 25% and ending battle on a tile with lightning costs 10% of a units life.

As for the 45% damage value, maybe if that could be tied to something like a weather event where weather becomes more hazardous, possibly increasing over time to be more and more drastic as the game draws to a close.

Hope these ideas help!

@Xenouzik Love this idea, going to try it out solo and eventually see if my crew would be willing to do a multiplayer session with this.

listen to the question, can you in theory make a race of henchmen from the overlord game (games)

@Shuricas
Thank you for your feedback. Surely I can change the values to be less punishing for not doing microcontrol. But I feel it will be better to post an alternative version of the mod. Since some people already using this one and may be ok with the balance.
I was thinking about posting mods that I created some time ago. Probably the time has come. I'll post next week. In a meantime you can ask for any specific changes to this or any other of my mods.

Very cool mod. This makes map of world so more alive and interesting. But i think that -45% damage to units in Lightning is to much. Its very annoying when you have many armies and they're standing in the same place, and lightning kills them because you don't keep track of whether or not there's a lightning on the tile the army is standing on. It adds too many microcontrol. Please, can you make lightnings to hit 30% or 35% damage?

@Pelennor Whitstreak
Yes. I basicaly only removed the terrain type filters for few weather types.
Notice through that weather is less widespread on land than at sea. It is that way for technical reasons (i.e. hardcoded), but at the same time unintentionally reflect reality.

Can weather be modified in game setup similar to how vanilla weather can be edited?

I suggest to consider the weather in cities this way:
- fog still conceals troops
- heavy rain ruins the roads
- lightning might cause fires

@Matchet hi
As far as I know it is not technically possible to disable weather in cities. Weather eligibility depends on terrain types. When you build a city or a district the terrain type does not change.

Thats a cool idea and would like to see it expanded.
On the other hand, have you considered city tiles to become immune or directly not eligible for weather? An urbanized tile usually means shelter for beings that live on it. There is little reason behind building not providing shelters to armies as well.

@Championxs hi,
Weather does affect armies only. If an army stand on a city tile and there is some weather then army will get effects. But city garrison would not be affected.

Does this effect cities it rolls over as well?
