Unique sound for badtide flow - new season music theme

8 votes

in the U5 experimental branch, i suggest adding a unique sound for when badtide shows up in the forecast. maybe something that is a bit more alarming to grab the attention of the player. i think making the first badtide season not last as long would also help.

I was not expecting the first one because i didn't know it existed. this left my 2 districts without any clean water on the map. my water and food reserves both ran out at about the time it ended. water was able to recover quicker than water, but not before decimating the population of my 2nd district.

this is to explain just how big of a setback the first badtide was, that i did not even realize was coming

Same here! I never looked at the cycle meter too closely to see the difference in the picture of incoming Badtide (which is also pretty similar to a drought) and just assumed it is normal drought and closed off my floodgates to save up on water end ended up flooding EVERYTHING with bad water and contaminating almost all of my beavers with no way to cure them since i'm still pretty early game. Different notification sound would be very useful, aswel as chanching the picture of Badtyde cycle into more noticeble (maybe inwert the colors and make background dark brown?).
