DRY SEASON

In contrast to the weeks of endless rain, the latter half of Gondwa-Ceruleans year is arid and dry. Precipitation is rare, and the sweltering heat forces creatures to be wise with the expenditure of their energy. Carnivores wax between periods of heightened aggression - desperate to hunt - and long periods of inactivity. For herbivores, this time of year is particularly dangerous; the young they spawned during the wet season must now fight to survive in a hostile environment.  

Map & Game Changes

‣ Heat Waves: Precipitation is rare in this season, and the days are long and sweltering. 

‣ Food Shortages: Lack of precipitation has caused most foliage to wilt, though the Carnivores may benefit from the increased pressure on Herbivores. 

‣ Water Quality: During this time, Water quality will be enabled and curated to provide challenges for the inhabitants. 

WET SEASON

Gondwa and Teutonia’s wet season brings with it the capacity for both bounteous growth and wanton devastation. The cooler climes and increased precipitation mean more food for the inhabitants - many of whom choose to court and mate during this season as a result. The rain, however, is as much a curse as it is a blessing. Often, it rains for days on end, and impromptu tropical storms force even the land's largest inhabitants to seek shelter and wait out the rough weather.

‣ Monsoons: Heavy rain is a constant in this season, and it can rain for cycles without stop.  ‣ Landslides: Rarely, the rain may weaken the soil, causing landslides and blocking off passages to certain areas.  

‣ Courtship: Mating displays, herding, and social behavior between even the most aloof of the inhabitants are common during this time, as they seek to make nests before the oncoming dry season.
