Natural Disasters

Natural Disasters in this world will happen depending on where the capitol state is located. It is not likely a state in the middle of the map be hit by a blizzard. Based on the Natural Disaster, States may have to pay for repair damages or other. If they do not have the money, army strength will be deducted. If they have neither, the State will be set as, "In Ruin", and may not do anything until repair damages are paid.

With that in mind, lets list the Natural Disasters and where they can happen:

• Hurricanes/Cyclones - May Happen near the equator, and will travel north or southward from there. Affected states pay #1,000 in repair costs - Multiple may happen in a short period of time.
• Tropical Storms - If an Island is hit by a Hurricane, the Hurricane will become a Tropical Storm in that area, and repair costs are #2,500. If states cannot pay, they are not in ruin, but the affected land may not be used for attacks or other.
• Earthquake - May happen anywhere. Repair costs are #500.
• Tsunami - May occur near the coast after an earthquake. Repair costs are #1500.
• Landslide - The equivalent of a Tsunami but on land. Repair costs are #1000.
• Flood - May happen from a Tsunami, Tropical Storm, or Hurricane. Makes it impossible to repair until the flood resides. Since you cannot repair the land, you cannot use it. Also makes the repair costs +#500
• Drought - Cannot be repaired, Instantly lose 1000 army strength, and lose the land that the Drought affects
• Volcano Eruption - costs #500 - #5000 to repair. May cause a forest fire
• Blizzard - May happen in areas near the poles. lose 500 army strength, and pay #500 in repair costs. If not repaired, land will become frozen, which will cause it to spread more blizzards to neighboring areas in the future. May cause Hail
• Forest Fire - #1000 in repairs, and smoke from the fire may travel into other areas, and reduce army strength
• Pandemic - -100 Army Strength every day, and will spread to races that are attacked or have attacked the sick nation.
• Dust Storm - Attacks in that area cannot happen, and slowly will deduct 100 army strength each day. Lasts less than 3 days.
• Tornado - May happen anywhere inland. #1000 in repair costs, and may bring dust storms or landslides.
• Heat Wave - deduct 500 army strength immediately. Every single battle is immediately lost.
• Avalanche - will only happen in areas near the poles. -100 army strength, #100 for repairs.
• Lighting Storm - May cause a forest fire, and #100 for repairs.
• Hail - only happens near the poles. #500 in repairs, and may signal an upcoming blizzard or avalanche if not included in one
• Superstorm - Any 3 of the above will be combined into a single superstorm (that fits within reason, forest fire and hurricane will obviously not be together)
• Revolution (not really natural) - deduct HALF of all army strength and Thirin. Start fighting yourself. All battles with outer races are lost immediately. Only happens if citizens are super unhappy.

Have fun! (just kidding do not have fun these are meant to stop you from having fun)
