Has anyone been seeing some perfectly abominable barometer readings in
their empires? If my examination of the object code is correct, all worlds
of the same size should have the same weather at any instant (if the cpu
clocks are nearly synchronized). I have had barometric pressures down to
105mm Hg, and my handy weather-predicting program tells me that 2 hours
from now there will be one of 63!! My nearest neighbor just got "50%
hurricane damage" to his entire country -- very sad. (:->) As for me,
I'm not going to enter the game at all today until the storm has passed.
An unrelated question: What happens when enough work has accumulated in
a sector to be worth an update, but not enough to produce a unit of the
product? If this happens, do you lose the increment of work?
