Hello,
I am the world's leading advocate of including birds in Storm of War.
(Hey, there's some serious truth to this!)
Can you include insects such as flies? Remember: Flies are everywhere in real life, except Winter.
What about schools of dolphins, whales, and fish leaping in the ocean?
Leaves dropping from the trees once in a while, and also a few leaves blown by the wind, would definately be realistic. Will your team include this, too?
