Gate of the Dead · player guide

Weather and storms

From chapter 29 the camp has weather. Each week has a season, which changes at midnight on Monday, Sydney time. Every player has the same weather, so you can plan around it.

The forecast: Harvest this week, Rain next week, then Snow, then Rain, and a storm on Thursday at noon — Tap the weather plate at the top of the camp for the four-week forecast.

Season	What it does
Clear	Nothing changes.
Harvest	Hunting Parties pay double.
Rain	The Road and the islands are 10% harder. Nights are darker.
Snow	Map squads take 25% longer. The yards fill 10% slower.

Each season comes once in every four weeks, and the same season never comes two weeks running.

Storms

Once or twice a week a storm shuts the Road for three hours, starting some time between 8 am and 8 pm. The islands, the map and the gate carry on as usual. The forecast shows this week's storms.

Planning around it

Harvest: send every free squad on Hunting Parties.
Rain: build up strength for the Road; push it the week after.
Snow: send long missions and eight-hour boats overnight, and spend the time on builds.
Storms: a good time for gate nights and the Forge.
