Weather

So I've just started a new character in Barca, and I'm curious about how people roleplay the various climates throughout Dwilight. It seems like people feel that the Marwood is almost more of a jungle, so I would imagine it and the surrounding area are quite hot? How far would this extend, e.g., would it be fair to say that slowed travel times in the Maroccidental "winter" are actually due to it being monsoon season or something like that?

That sounds quite reasonable to me.

In the north we do not do a lot of RP around the climate; I think it is generally accepted that the north is colder, with a standard four season rotation that includes hot summers and cold winters with snow and ice.

I've always had difficulties with roleplaying the weather...

The south is sub tropical, the area around marwood will thus feel very hot, the woods will keep the air very mousty. coastal areas and hill stations will be lovely in the south, nice, windy and cool.
Keep in mind that mountains block air streams and thus (rain) clouds.

Also, the inner sea is probably more warm then the outer sea, and if there is a circular stream of hot and cold waters in it, one side of the continent could be warmer than the other.
Waves are also bigger in the ocean instead of the inner seas and straights connecting the outer with the inner sea, could be quite rough and possible dangerous.

In Madina we also roleplay a monsoon period during the winter coming from somewhere east, passing slowly over the isle, turning it into one big muddy !@#$ hole.

This has been a fairly accepted idea in Terran for a while now.

no, but almost everything takes at-least 2 turns.
Plus your boots are all heavy...

I have a 56 hour travel time from Paisly to Madina with 8 caravans. In summer.

Sea route. Blame your extra weight. Release some ballast already. Like your obese scribe.

Same route, I had 63 hours with a priest and no unit. It's not the scribe's fault....

[songqu88@gmail.com]

Nope, it's YOUR fault that time  ;D

Don't hang around Madina to long or you'll end up like mr obese abbot. ;)
