1110, Someone...anyone?

Please make the fires that can be set in different places be affected by the weather. Make it so that places gone to ash dont light again all that easily. Rain put it out or something...it is horrible...annoying...argh! It does nothing good, only make this game so much more frustrating...

I like the idea of burning places, but for the love of god make it easier to put out. Reduce timer on preservation? Reduce how rappidly it spread? Anything? anyone?

Rain does affect how easy it is to start fires, and how easy they are to put out. Rain by itself is not going to extinguish that blaze, however.

Places gone to ash are probably more vulnerable to fires than normal forests. Its not like the fire burned up all the existing fuel, and now you've got even less moisture to prevent a fire from springing up.

Ever been in a forest fire? They spread rapidly as all hell.

I can think of several good things that forest fires do, not the least of which is make it more difficult for Sylvans to get the jump on you.
1113, Yes...

But my point is that people set fires on forest to flush out sylvans...that leaves hours upon hours of real life hours to mend it for the sylvans afterwards. If the timer on preservation was set to something like 2 hours? it would be so much better...oh so much better. Not four or five (+) as it is today.
1114, it is easier to destroy than to create n/t

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
