In [[Total War: Warhammer II]] each [[settlement]] on the [[campaign]] map has a different '''climate'''. Each [[faction]] has different preferences for the climate of areas they wish to occupy. One may prefer jungle, while another may find jungles unpleasant and prefer frozen areas.

==Habitability Effects==
+
==Climate types==
===Habitable / Favourable===
 
Habitable climates have no penalties for occupying a settlement.
 
 
===Unpleasant===
 
Unpleasant climates are penalized. Construction times of settlements are increased and income, replenishment and public order are lowered:
 
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_building_construction_cost_mod|+30}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_building_construction_time_mod_settlement|+3}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_economy_gdp_mod_all|-15}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_force_all_campaign_replenishment_rate|-8}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_public_order_base|-1}}
 
===Uninhabitable===
 
Uninhabitable climates suffer severe penalties. You can still occupy them, but construction and recruitment times are increased. Income, replenishment, growth and public order are reduced severely:
 
 
{{effects description wh2_main_effect_building_construction_time_mod_all|+100}}
 
{{effects description wh2_main_effect_climate_recruitment_duration_all| +1}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_building_construction_cost_mod|+50}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_economy_gdp_mod_all|-50}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_force_all_campaign_replenishment_rate| -15}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_province_growth_other|-7}}
 
{{effects description wh_main_effect_public_order_base|-3}}
 
 
==List of climates==

Climate should not be confused with terrain, corruption and attrition which are all different.
Climate should not be confused with weather effects such as storms, sandstorms from the Great Incantation of Khsar, or the Mists of Yvresse.

In Total War: Warhammer II each settlement on the campaign map has a different climate. Each faction has different preferences for the climate of areas they wish to occupy. One may prefer jungle, while another may find jungles unpleasant and prefer frozen areas. While factions can occupy settlements in any climate, doing so in an unpleasant/uninhabitable climates incurs various penalties.

Please note that Horde races such as Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen are not affected by climate, as they do not occupy settlements.

The climate system replaced the regional occupation system from TWW1.

Climate types

Currently there are 10 climates in Total War: Warhammer II.

Climate Description
Chaotic wastelandChaotic Wasteland Nature’s rules do not apply in regions under the influence of the Ruinous Powers. Only the followers of the Dark Gods could hope to remain here, and even they do so at great personal risk.
WastelandWasteland Scorched or scoured - nothing grows here and only a few races could survive in this region, let alone thrive.
FrozenFrozen Eternal winter blights this region. Lakes of ice, fierce shard storms and snow-covered fjords scatter the environment. It takes a determined kind of people to eke out a life here.
OceanOcean The oceans of the world harbor many great wrecks and treasures, as only the best seafaring races can truly master its currents and tides.
MountainMountain The snow-capped peaks of this world scrape the sky. Mountainous regions are hazardous, although those races that inhabit them rarely live on the surface.
Temperate islandTemperate Island Climate on the isles in this region is changeable. However, the trees grow tall and strong, the hunting is good, and crops can be grown by competent farmers.
TemperateTemperate The terrain of this region consists of lush grasslands and sprawling forests, with food and resources in abundance.
Magical forestMagical Forest Steeped in magic, just who is allowed to remain in the forests' interior is the will of the trees themselves and their spirit allies.
SavannahSavannah Scattered tree growth is broken by course grasslands and watering holes. Here, the climate is hot and the bugs grow large.
JungleJungle Dense jungle is hot and humid, and often home to creatures and plants that consider potential empire-builders to be prey.
DesertDesert The sun burns and very little grows here, yet the shifting sands of this region hide more than mere dunes - certain races have proven tenacious in this climate.
