five seasons of my campaign comes from the factor the planet does not rotate in a way that all sides will at some point face the sun. So basically to make it simple I got as far as there would be the regular season, but one would be extremely long! (winter or summer depending one where on the planet you are, but winter doesn't truly apply since that part since the changes from winter to summer would be very fast and summer very short.) to be reasonable I parted it into two seasons, I figured if we have an extensive period where heat is applied things get dry. Thus Dryseason (or Nejl) is created, this season is very much a ehh dry period of 3 of the 15 months, here little to absolutely no rain falls, and the temperature raises even higher at day (since there is no clouds to block some out and the larger body of waters especially inland have shrinked) and of course lower at night though this isn't as prominent as everything have already been heated up doing the summer and continues to be so doing the day hours (which especially doing summer/nejl season shifting are very long!).
then when autmn comes more then usual rain for earth falls in the dry areas, as the planet turns slightly.
to make a long story short in the belt where normal life cna exist on the world, there is a very long summer that is parted into a summer and a dryseason, the planet turn in favour of having one part against the sun all the time which is why the winter there never is truly longer.
of course there are the extremes aka the natural poles (not the magnetic ones! or as there also is the magic ones.) which are either always laid in darkness or in sun, none of these two have been explored (or charted by the me!), the most southen known continent (satania, which is a desert continent filled with religous fantatics), has no evidence that there is anything but water at the south pole. The north pole is said to be nothing but ice, even the ocean should be deep frozen or at least close.
That said my world might not be the most realistic there is, but I love it.
As for the program, it has a neat feature, that if you want to you can edit the humidity of the different months as you pleases as well as temperature, that ment I could easily implement the feel I wanted, of course not knowing too much of real world statistic for weather, I have been guessing a bit (bad me! =^) ), but it does insert some automatically temperatures and humidities, which I assume are realistic. Also I noticed that the help file (you know that unused file that comes with all computer programs, one (read me) sometimes wonder why it is there
) has a guide to how to icnrease the chances of getting specific events, like fog.
I should note that while my months are equal length (50 days each), the program is easily able to handle very differnt lengths of months and I think a really dedicated person could get whatever result he wanted with enough tweaking (say you need fog one day so you assign that day as a whole month assign the best temps for fog etc). But of course then one might as well just decide without the program! Also it has the wrath of god feature which makes you able to insert certain type of events, I don't think it covers everything but it helps!
Now if I had a wish list so far it would be.
The Wrath Of God to insert ANY natural event even a normal sunshine.
Moon phase calculation to decide when all moons are full or whatever phase you might need. (it displays the phase of up to three moons of the day, you can easily change which moons it is.)
jump day back and forth, in a single leap without creating every single inbetween day.
tornados etc natural occuring, would be a plus! haven't seen them yet.
Now I suspect the wrath of god can already do what I want it to, and I also think tornados can occur naturally, but hey I can still say I want it. (I tell more when I explored more of the program!)
