Weather should affect adventuring as well- eg. A storm will decrease movement by ships, and fog will increase the 'rough terrain' penalty.

Weather
I think weather is a wonderful idea, it would bring back in an element of randomness into the game, 4 is very predictable which imo can make it bland. There are loads of possibilities for the effects of different weather, plus it *could* look nice graphically.

Has been a topic about this b4.
Should be good to have winter, where certain castles have an advantage, like tower when there is snow everywhere.
Grass in early spring, Swamp when it has reained a while, dirt/desert when it hasn't rained for a while, etc.

it would destroy every thing. It could be modified to do something like 50% to the firs thing it hit in extra damage.
The 40% to the next and then 30% and so on and so on.
some creatures can also be amune.air elements for instance.
and golems. flyers would take an additional 10% and spell casters are amune protection thing.

Weather could even affect creature growth- long periods without rain could cause a drought and there4 decrease growth by 50%, etc.

Yes ofcourse homm5 should get both Weather + Day/Night effect in it! That's my biggest wish!
Weather effects such as rain and storm are very logical and shouldn't be a problem for gameplay.

Not nearly as much if we go modify the previous engine. I don't think it looked any worse and it was definetely less resource-consuming (darn, I'm out of sulfur! lol).

STORM
Earth based creatures:Will be slow down 50% of their normal speed.
Fire Creatures:Will recieve damage every round the storm rages.
Air creatures:will speed up with 50% extra speed.
Water Creatures:Will gain lost hitpoints back during storm.
Giant creatures such as Giants and Dragons have chance to be hit by lightning every turn.
Some creatures can manupilate the storm.(This creatures are NOT human)
I'm thinking of Blue Storm Dragons or Thunderbirds to speed, slow, stop, begin or change the storm effects when on the battlefield or on the map. When there are many.
When there are many thunderbirds/Storm Dragons on the map, there will be more often storms, when there are NONE of them the storms will be rare, when there are many thunderbirds/storm dragons the storms will be pretty big and lightings will deal more damage to GIANT(this is new and some BIG creatures are no have GIANT under their name to, this helps with some effects)creatures.
Like when there's only 1 group of thunderbirds on the map/battlefield the lighting will deal less damage then when there are 4 thundies placed on the map.
When a storm begins on a battlefield and there's a thunderbird in your army, or in the army of the enemy, then every turn the thunderbirds attack will release a thunder on a random enemy unit, and also on the creature that is attacked by the thunderbird, when there is no storm the thunderbird releases only 1 lightingbolt upon the victim it's attacking and not 1 extra.

Having weather in Heroes 5 might be a good idea.
Perhaps Heroes 5 can have a "Four Seasons" concept which affects adventure, creature growth and battle outcomes.
SPRING - all nature-based creatures gain 20% extra A/D in battle and all earth/nature spells are 25% more effective. In addition, nature/earth based troops gain +2 a week extra in growth and heroes' summoning skills gain +20 xp a day.
SUMMER - all fire-based attacks are 25% more effective. In Summer all fire-based troops (efreet, phoenix, fire elemental etc.) gain +2 extra growth a week. All fire spells do 50% more damage.
AUTUMN - the season of harvest. Human-based towns generate an additional 500 gold/day, all human-based creatures (castle/haven/knight) gain +2 extra growth a week, and have their damage and HP increased by 20% during the season.
WINTER - all water/ice based creatures gain 20% extra A/D in battle and all cold spells do 50% more damage. In addition, creatures native to snow gain +2/week extra growth and all water/ice based creatures gain +2/week extra growth as well. All adventure movement in winter is reduced by 25% for non-native heroes.
How is that?

Errrr.... No.
In the spring, nature gets a huge boost.
In the summer, chaos (and perhaps nature a bit) gets a huge boost.
In the autumn, life gets a huge boost.
In the winter, order gets a huge boost.
I notice nothing for death or might.
And how long is a season supposed to last. And with what season do you start. If the seasons take too long (one week each can already be disastrous), then the lucky allignment is undefeatable.
For example, we start in winter. The order allignment can travel 33.3% faster than the other allignments and their cold spells (ice bolt) will be devastating. They also have two creatures more of each per week. Even with seasons of only one week, this quick start can be completely unbalanced.
Understand that I wrote this from HOMM4 perspective. Perhaps you thought that all these creature groups to which the bonusses apply should be divided over all towns. I don't really see that happening.

Well,I say NOOOOO to weather.
Though the seasons idea is kinda nice,it needs some work,to make it equal for all towns,but I like it.
I hate the ideas of varying weather and day/night moving thing.
Dunno,I just think the weather idea sux.

Well undead should get boosted on AUTUMM as the leaves and trees begin to change, the leaves DIE on autumm, life is about living, so that would be more for Spring.. I think life should be destroyed so I think they should not be involved in this seizon thingy, only the other alignments
