I remember reading somewhere that DA does not currently model any type of weather. Is this true? I think I also remember hearing that Jim Lunsford was considering adding some basic types of weather effects. Does anyone know what the plans are and where it currently stands?

Thank you for the answers.

I don't know what the current plan is. Some time Jim posted this on the DA Yahoo group:

WX Conditions that affect visibility, maneuver, or combat other than day/night are not currently modeled. Weather might be a future addition.

I agree that some type of weather model is probably needed. If nothing else it might effect the fog-of-war and slow down movement. I'm not sure if Jim has given up on this or not.
