All environments that can be characterized as Alpine, or colder. Part 7 wraps up Winter, dealing with Northern Europe and North-Eastern Eurasia (with an American ringer): Switzerland, Stockholm, Moscow, Siberia, Anchorage, and Reykjavik. The most notable omission in this section is Paris, and I’d love to sneak it in. Part 6 is going to deal with Southwestern Europe (plus a Canadian ringer): Montreal, Rome, Madrid, London, Glasgow, Berlin. There remains a little uncertainty over Shanghai vs Beijing, and whether or not to include Hong Kong, simply because I think the weather there might be as unusual as the location. A single entry would be inadequate, and anything else wouldn’t add anything you wouldn’t already get from the above. The only location missing is India, but that would be another deal like Brazil India contains everything from Himalayas to sub-tropical or even semi-tropical Jungle, and just about anything else you can think of, in-between. The current plan calls for Honolulu, Tokyo, Beijing, Bangkok, Shigatse (Tibet), and Kathmandu (Nepal). Part 5 will look at the central and north-Western Pacific with a number of Asian cities chosen to be comprehensive from the many available, on the basis of everything I’ve learned so far working on this series. That will be followed by San Francisco, wrapping up this section of the series. My preliminary research into that location convinced me that I needed northern West-Coast representation, and (with some difficulty) chose Seattle, Washington for the purpose. I’ll then cross them to find Spokane, Washington. We’ll start in the deserts of Nevada for Las Vegas, then head to just east of the Rockies for Denver, Colorado. This is the fourth post in the series, and the second half of that American Trek, and the focus this time is on Mountains and the Eastern Pacific. This tour started in Washington DC (following New York City in Part 2), and then traveled to Detroit, Chicago, and finally a city fairly close to midway across the US (and perhaps the most surprising one to date), Omaha, Nebraska. So far, all the locations have been within 4° of latitude, but there have been some locations added to the list in Part 4. Part 3 began a trek westward across the USA, examining the relevance of longitude, and found that it was rather more important than generally thought – but only in terms of the proximity of masses of water, and the extent to which air currents can carry moisture from a water-source to land.
Or to put it another way, it examined the role of the Western Atlantic and – again as an aside – determined that it wasn’t the water temperature or gulf stream that mattered so much, it was the air above the water and the direction it moved in. Part 2 covered Winter in Brazil, Puerto Rico, Miami, New Orleans, and New York City. It explored, completely as a side issue, the role that latitude plays in the weather.
Part 1 began with Winter descriptions for McMurdo (Antarctica), Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Tahiti, and Cairo. it gives a list of the seasonal activities in each location, again providing a rich source of ideas that can be translated into any game genre.īut predominantly, it’s about the weather – and so far, it’s been all about Winter.it acquaints the reader with backgrounds and histories on a heap of locations, each of which can be used as the inspiration for others if not used directly and,.it compares and contrasts different locations, enabling the reader (and the author) to start getting a grip on the really critical factors in terms of weather generation simulations.
