| Apr 23, 2011 at 0:52 | comment | added | elliya | It doesn't seem to work like real-life lightning, which uses the shortest possible distance between cloud and ground such as trees/telephone poles and tall buildings. This may be arbitrary, but I have noticed that lightning favors the center of a biome area that's storming rather than the edges. Does that make sense? | |
