FAQ

Questions from the mailbag

Is this an actual weather site?

No. The weather is a way of describing how a browser game feels over time: outlook for depth, pressure for the shop, wind for pace, visibility for polish. Nothing here will tell you whether to take an umbrella.

Do I need to download anything?

No. All five worlds run in a current Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Each forecast says which also have a mobile app and whether progress is shared.

Are the games free?

Free to begin and free to keep going indefinitely. All five make money from a premium currency and time-savers. How much that gets in the way is what the pressure reading measures.

Why only five regions?

Because five worlds we've spent a month in tell you more than fifty we've opened once. A world has to survive the full observation period to be issued at all.

What does a warning mean?

The one thing to know before you set out: usually the shop, raids after dark, or a slow start. Every region has one; a world with no warnings wouldn't be a strategy game.

How is the station paid for?

Affiliate commissions from the "Set out" buttons, and nothing else. Publishers can't buy a region or see a forecast early, and commission has no effect on a reading.

Can I suggest a world?

Yes, please. Use the contact page and tell us why it deserves a forecast. Browser-first strategy games with a living community go to the front of the observation queue.
