Title: Weather and Natural Disasters
Description: would you want storms, tornados, etc.

I said YES! For three reasons:

1. It would be so much more realistic :D
2. It would be great for show and tells that take place in the wild.
3. It would just look cool for a storm or tornado to set in over the zoo.

There would be several types of weather
1. Tornados (my personal fave) :ohnoes:
2. Hurricanes (in Marine Maps)
3. Rain
4. Thunder/Lightning Storm
5. Drought

Then a few natural disasters
1. Earthquakes (I know they already have them but ones that actually appear and do damage)
2. Fires
3. Floods
4. Mudslides (in alpine maps only)

Now the coolest part, let's say a tornado has come to my zoo. The animals naturally are gonna panic. But you'll have to make sure they don't break out of their habitats. Also, you'll have to close the zoo and all the guests will disappear, so they are safe. Now you have to wait the storm out. Since this is all about realism, the tornado will rip through everything and blow down trees, pick up branches and destroy buildings. At the end the zoo will be fairly damaged and you'll have to fix it yourself or you could pay a fee for everything to be automatically fixed. The final option is you do half and half, you could pick up branches by yourself and then pay a fee for fences to be auto-fixed

I hope BF does this. What do ya'll think.

OH, and it would be impossible to kill any animals or people so that the game isn't to bad for younger players, they will be shaken up but okay and safe :D

I think it would be awesome! You could even have a set of campaign missions around it.

But, it would also kind of suck if it happened during a normal campaign mission, so I think that it only happens in Freeform, Challenge and the set campaign misisons. I really hope BF takes that idea!

I voted yes, but be able to turn it off, because natural disaters can cause a lot of devastation (and more than often do), so I think if they were to include them in a game then there would need to be an option to turn them off.

I voted no because I have a Tycoon game School Tycoon that had disasters and they are very anoying!

Sicilian Gorilla - December 7, 2007 09:00 PM (GMT)
That's why there would be the option to turn it off. :D

I know I just wouldn't want to waste space when I'm not going to use it.

I think it would be really cool, to choose whether you want the disasters to happen or not. Like you control it. Like you have a setting where you can or choose if you want them to happen. Also you can make it rain too.

Does it make sense? :S

Sicilian Gorilla - December 7, 2007 11:13 PM (GMT)
kinda of :aww: the rain could also irragate the land

I think the way our country currently is, the terrorist one would be kinda not the best.
And no offense, i'm not a fan of the alien things
sorry

orcalover22 - December 8, 2007 01:37 AM (GMT)
I'm sorry, but in my oponion, that is too much.

Nocturnal Dragon - December 8, 2007 01:41 AM (GMT)
maybe to add on to that it could a lot or not like the Eclipse it doesn't happen a lot in the world so i don't think it should happen in the game so much.

Sicilian Gorilla - December 9, 2007 01:24 AM (GMT)
I hope in the next expansion pack, BF does this. It would add a ton of realism to the game cause, no offense, it's not sunny all the time

Whiskers - December 9, 2007 01:44 AM (GMT)
I would LOVE weather. I'd keep it on all the time cause it would make everything so much realer and stuff!

Dinoross Boy - December 12, 2007 10:47 PM (GMT)
In the game it's only night once a month!
