when you go to sail map we can see the wind effect,(white swirling lines) but why not in the battle field? it will be useful to see for new unit, sky raiders instead of looking only the flags and smokes and currently there are only one direction of wind always,SW, so please make more various wind directions as you've thought already i guess
Chris replied to my question regarding this that the one direction only is "for now", so maybe it will change direction/speed in the future. As for the effect, look at the water too
Idea: Every hour, the wind direction changes. (Randomly / Predetermined (weather forecasting??)) This allows the player to use them more precisely and truly wait for the 'favorable winds' to arrive before doing a revenge.
I can't imagine the plunder team not working on a future weather update that will include things like wind directions.
