I would pick the storm, because it will be gone in a few seconds.

Electrical Storm, because a permavortex can also hit the cc and the storm wouldn't be permanent so you have time to recover from it and one cc destroyed doesn't matter if you have backup ccs.

I'd rather see the super storm mostly because it would be kinda funny to watch...

I'd prefer the storm too.. Though if I had a couple of those vortexes guarding my base...

where's thje "escape" btn ?  i wanna choose 'minor quake' instead.. where's that ? :P

I'd go with the storm that has an ending rather then an eternal vortex.. the latter means you have no hope of rebuilding your structures in that spot, while the storm passes away... Besides 1 big blow destroy a building anyway.. it doesn't matter that much if the lightning gets stronger

i agree. the storm, even if its uber, would pass and you could repair your stronger buildings. however a vortex is guaranteed to destroy everything directly in its path and heavily damage anything near. however, if the storm was as powerful as a thor and moved very slowly theres really no difference between the storm and a vortex, only that the animation is different. the result would still be the same and in such a case i would question the purpose of having two types of disasters that carve the same path of destruction.

Yeah, I would go with the storm since it doesn't last as long.

Also, they move a lot slower so you could probably get some items out of the way to lessen the damage.

The storm probably would be better... gotta make the frequency a lot less than other electrical storms though.

You know, I'm playing the game on Hard difficulty right now, and I'm starting to suspect that there already are storms more powerful than thor's hammers. In level 5 plymoth I had one of them take an agridome from full health to low red, and that was with the damage reduction from DIRTs.

It would definitely be interesting to see either of these disasters made real, it couldn't involve much more than changing a few numbers... [mischievous smile]

The perma vortex has been done. I don't know about the other one. You're probably right though about just chaning a few values. But who knows, they seem to like hardcoding the occasional bit in this game.

Wow! Another of my polls lasted over a year! I feel... so happy!  :rolleyes:
I should restart this topic, but instead include maps so people can "demo" before they vote.  :evil laugh:

I think the storm would be much better than an ongoing vortex

more time to recuperate
