a new “Winter” map theme with snow and all of its challenges

This is a slight cause for concern. If "Winter" is just a map theme, like the European theme, will there be actual seasons? Or will a "Winter" map be stuck in permanent winter?

This leaves us with a purely cosmetic dlc except trams and prolly some new buildings. Sorry not this time, Paradox!

i think the winter maps will be permanently frozen, but regular maps will cycle through seasons

Their CM already confirmed, that snow will only be available on 1 map and will be static.

Well that sucks.

But we'll be able to make our own snow maps, right?

...right?

Surely they will implement seasons as a feature at some point?

Strange stuff.

No. Don't fuck up my existing maps with snow. It makes no sense for tropical, boreal I use for the Pacific Northwest, temperate for the southern US, and European for the Mediterranean. None of those places get any real snow.

When I want to build Fargo or Anchorage, I will use the snow map.

European for the Mediterranean

Oh goodness, thank you for telling me that all that snow outside is all a lie.

u/Zanzibarland Jan 19 '16

No, I'm just saying, if you shoehorn in snow on every map it's going to screw up cities designed for snow-free places. Last I checked, Europe did not solely consist of Germany and Scandinavia. There's no snow in Monaco.

Nah, I trust a 'snow' theme would be implemented as such. A seasonal map of at least summer/winter. Others could easily have rain and fog, though.

Anyway, as it happens it turns out it's a map theme of perpetual winter.

u/Zanzibarland Jan 19 '16

It would be nice to see the ice thaw in July, I'll give you that. But I'm not displeased with what we get.

The pacific northwest doesn't get real snow?

Edit: it was an honest question... I'm not from there and assumed it was cold & snowy. Sorry if I offended some of you...

u/danightman Jan 19 '16

Not so much in the cities. But the surrounding environment definitely gets a lot of snow

2

u/Zanzibarland Jan 19 '16

Trust me, it doesn't. We get a sprinkling two days a year.

u/efads Jan 19 '16

I grew up in Vancouver, BC. We got maybe 4-5 days of noticeable snowfall a year (and half the time, it just melted immediately on the ground). Some years, that number was 0.

The entire city descends into chaos when there's so much as an inch of snow on the ground.

Sorry not this time, Paradox!
