Lightning Shock V1.1.0.6

What if the storm were no longer just a visual effect?
Lightning tears across the sky and thunder shakes the countryside—but this time, something else is happening. This mod goes beyond lights and sounds: the storm actively interferes with the gameplay, forcing you to adapt.

GIANTS once rejected one of my ideas simply because I dared to create something unusual. This time, I’m not going to explain myself.

I’ll let the storm answer for me.
