Blight is just so awesome. If you decon your base you can just sit there and watch everyone else get infected and if their buildings are close together you get hundreds of those infection noises at once...

Ah yes, those are glorious times...

Lava is easy to protect against: play a level once, and you know where it'll go. No one ever made a dynamic lava-area (althou it can be coded that way :D). Besides, if your not on lava rock, your 100% safe
Rule #1:  Eddy is always right
Rule #2: If you think he's wrong, see rule #1

But blight is uber, purple, and you can pretend it's not there if you disabled the computer overlay in preferences!

I think that vortexes have the most visual effect. I once had 3 on my screen at once.
It's just so cool how the buildings fall apart then collapse, one after another.

Lava can be useful some times for defense, like on the eden starship, above your base you can start a colony there and only have to defend a small opening.

Even though Lava/Blight is the strongest forces on New Tierra, It's that Vortexes r tricky because they can appear anywhere and damage the buildings that we work hard on. :o And our vehicles get destroyed also. So what do u guy's think now? ^_^

Quakes are fun... but they cause far too much damage.

Large Meteorites are best... especially when one pegs someone elses only structure factory.

I hate the electric storms: they damage a lot of buildings and it's very boring to repare them <_<

Yes. I can't type sounds though. It resembles a thunder noise... kinda?

My favorite is also the least seen.
LAVA!
I like picturing its effects on Flood plain, but never made it happen myself.

hmmm... there should be a map where if you take to long, the entire map gets flooded with lava... That'd be very entertaining, ppl trying to kill eachother before their base gets destroyed...
