Summary0006410: World map - visual indication of storms
DescriptionI know we've got the "Storm" text presently but I think it would REALLY improve the atmosphere of being enclosed by windstorms if there was some visual cue of their blanket.

Something subtle and non-resource intensive is obviously preferable, if possible. I'm thinking something like the effect on The Deep.

(For clarity, it might also be a good idea to make The Deep a non-animated tile with a thick soupy icon instead.)

I just signed in to post this exact thing! I finished a Wind Shelter mission, battling though the storm the whole way. I got out, and I was expecting to see a hard fought clear spot.

I knew that it is only a text display, but man, I was still expecting it. Would make the wind much more visceral.

I am hugely in favor of this. Considering that the wind is supposed to be this huge oppressive force, it would be nice to really ~feel~ that oppression on the world map.

EDIT: Moved my only semi-related idea to it's own issue.

Thanks!

* The world map now visually depicts where the wind is causing storms or turbulent water.
