Slitherine

I haven't played any games yet at all, but I was just looking at the editor and there is the option there to set alternative weather conditions to "Rain" or "Snow". I cannot see anything in the rules anywhere so are these settings just for cosmetic effect? If the answer is yes to this, are there any plans to model weather conditions in the future? For example, obviously heavy rain would affect the performance of artillery, musketeers and archers; while a strong wind might favour one sides archers over the others. Thanks.

They are currently cosmetic. Obviously effects could be scripted, but we have not done so as yet.
