Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) One new server, further north than the Northern Isles, and reachable from those servers by boat. Major distinguishing features of this server: Short growing season - summer only Trees grow more slowly. More tundra and steppe and open grassland Snow on the ground in spring and autumn Proper blizzards with greatly reduced visibility Polar bears that are a serious threat Storms at sea during winter, which damage ships if you sail in them. (Not a huge amount, but enough for ship quality and repairs to matter.) Ideally, some new resources like amber, coal deposits, arctic fox furs, that are unavailable elsewhere Players get hungry faster Players take frost damage during winter. Damage is reduced in buildings. Damage is greatly reduced if wearing woolen items Damage is reduced if wearing cloth items Damage is increased if wearing metal items Damage is zero anywhere near any kind of fire The frost damage, if you're wondering, has already been implemented as a WU mod. When I played with it, it worked pretty well but was rather harsh and needed balancing. Edited September 4, 2021 by Sheffie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Cold weather could just reduce your max stamina/regeneration. Would still be something to address, but wouldn’t be too bad. (also irl you’d have clothing underneath the metal armors for insulation) Edited September 4, 2021 by LionIX 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fewer trees and plants, animals that hide themselves in the snow like polar bears, white wolves and maybe a white yeti, but more veins than on other maps. 4 hours ago, Sheffie said: Damage is reduced if wearing cloth items Nope, not cloth, but furs... 4 hours ago, Sheffie said: Damage is increased if wearing metal items Nice, frostbite as wounds for those wearing metal armor.
