Holy crap.   No offense, but have you ever seen the real world? Now(and before the advent of industrialism), the earth is full of drought, flooding, hailstones larger than golf-balls, hurricanes, twisters, monsoons, deluges...and now and then, it even rains freaking fish.

If that's not bloody askew I don't know what is.</STRONG>

Natural climate change =/= Magically creating weather such as wind, rain, and heat. If you'd study weather and weather patterns across the world you'd know it all happens by itself, not because some guy yelled at the sky to make some wind. And if said guy does cause wind, the low pressure would change the pressure of surrounding areas, making unnatural weather patterns, resulting in calamity (such as drought, flooding, hailstones larger than golf-balls, hurricanes, twisters, monsoons, deluges)

Why is that a bad thing to add to the game?

[Mikademus]

So, the elf druids and goblin shamans should not mess with the weather because it might upset the global weather system? Yes, (1) how do they know that, and (2) why would they care? (well, the elves might, though the dark elves would laugh all the way to the umbrella stand).

Toady could always use strange attractors and fractal based weather systems to properly simulate that.  Maybe tinkering with the weather WOULD cause worldwide disaster.  Maybe not.  But it wouldn't be arbitrary!  It'd have a reason to its madness.

In a world full of natural calamaties, nobody would really notice a few artificial ones.
