I meant the outside of the city. Sorry, but the main city will remain the same. Chaotic is what I am shooting for.... but then again your aim will be on the Zeds
 
This is what Im talking about. I trimmed up the streets on the outside of the city. 
 

 
TCO

Tweaked a nice little watchtower in the main city as well.. Love the blood splatter... Good Stuff.

This should be considered as a part of the official map when it's finished IMO.

No need to be rude about it.

Agreed, we should keep this thread open/on subject for TCO's Cali map. 

You should post these in your own buildings thread dude, so he can come choose what he needs. Also, the Pile-o-Crepe HQ.. seems very odd with beds and a bar, and an empty first floor?

Forums full of happy people feeling guilty and appreciative about what they paid instead of grumpy people who feel ripped off is reward enough. Beyond that gifting friends copies, and suggesting pz to streamers and youtubers is a great way to support the game.

I'm dying to play on this map haha, i love how its been taking shape over the past few months, I normally don't ask this but do you have any estimate on an ETA? I'm just really looking forward to it ;P

Okay, we really do need this at some point. Nothing would be scarier than running through knee deep water and getting tired while getting chased.

Look man... its hard enough to tend to my crops. You quit beating up on the little guys. Meanie.. they need love and not floods.. 

Occupy Clouds!

As of now, rain impairs the movement and senses of zombies, makes players sick, moistens crops, fills barrels, and puts out fires. However, there is a lot more that can be done to make it feel more like true rain.
 
Flood Tiles by Riverbank (And future added Creeks/Streams)
When it is raining/has just rained, the banks of the water sources really should be raised.  My suggestion is that the Devs add a "transition tile" of sorts, basically a tile that will switch states from land to water based on the amount of time it has rained, the time since it stopped raining, and what month it is.
 
Puddle Formation 
Similarly to the flood tiles I just suggested, the game should randomly select different spots of the map to have "Depression points", basically the land/water switchtiles that accumulate water at the center and expand outward based on how rainy it is.  That way, if you're not to the point where you have rain barrels yet you can still collect a little bit of water, albeit water that's probably really grainy even if you boil it.
 
Bugs Forming Around The Puddles And Rivers/The Day After a Storm
The few days after a rainstorm, or just being around a body of water should make bug bites a possible affliction. This can be reduced by wearing longer clothing, or by trying not to stand by those bodies of water too long.  You can also douse yourself in smoke, or perhaps create your own bug repellent out of household materials/some natural item.  Bug bites should have a really low chance to give you a disease.
 
Rain Smearing Blood
Basically, if it rains, splotches of blood should get lighter and maybe spread a little more, eventually fading away.
 
Rain Creating Mud and Impairing the Player
Have you ever tried sprinting on a rainy day through dirt?  It doesn't work too well if it's been raining for a while.  Players (and zombies) should be slowed way down when traversing grass/dirt as it is much more slippery and muddy than it usually is.
 
Outdoorsman/Skill Alerting Player to Weather
The character you play as should be able to observe the sky and predict what kind of weather they may experience.  Just add another tab to the health/skills/info panels for "observations".  Observations could include more than just weather but for this example I will stick solely to weather.  This can be a passive skill that increases the more time you spend in the outdoors.  I'll make a new suggestion specifically for this one actually.
 
Multiple-Day Storms
Sometimes when it rains, it should rain for multiple days.  This is where the heavy flooding and puddle formation really kick in, damaging your house, equipment, crops, and leaving you stuck indoors or traveling around in flood weather.  Imagine how hard sloshing around in foot-deep water is while trying to evade zombies!
 
Intense Storming Destroys Baby Crops
If the flooding or overall weather is bad enough it should tear out, wash away, or damage young crops.  This means that you have to keep them in pots until they're big enough to stay rooted down or just hope that it doesn't rain too badly.  You can find pots or make them from clay you forage in creeks or puddles after it rains.
 
Foraging After Rainstorms Should Give Different Items
The items you get from foraging after it has rained heavily should be slightly altered.  For example, most berries would probably have been knocked down, but so would many branches.  If you forage near the future creeks, the river, or in hypothetical puddles you should be able to gather clay and make pottery from it.  You should also be able to gather frogs and water, and the wood you collect be slightly soggy. 
 
Rainstorms should wash up fish/make them more plentiful 
The fish inside the river could get stirred up or washed away if enough water comes pouring down.  After the water recedes, this could leave dead fish on the shore, which may not be the cleanest option, but if you're really desperate, food is food...
This could also stir up more fish from the bottom, making them easier to catch
 
Future water vehicles such as boats should wash away if too near the river
If the aforementioned flood tiles overlap where you're storing a boat on land, it should wash it away, meaning you'll have to build a new one/lose it forever, or maybe have to go downstream to look for it.  This will be especially important when river travel leads to communities built along the river. 
 
I will add to my list as I think of more things, feel free to comment what you think rain should do as well.

Happy, happy, happy ... i have a lot to do at the moment so its good to see that someone other will made some stuff too
 
And @ queen glory
 
If you want to help you can do the following
 
Take a simple flag like the Netherlands
 
and change the Colors (i use MSpaint and remove the Background later with GIMP)
maybe to Germany (the large Flag contains only 2 or 3 shades of color the small one a little bit more)

 
simple Colorchanging.
 
If you want you can start with some simpel flags like Luxembourg, Hungary or Austria.
P.S.





 
for some reasons i cant remove the last three images so just ignore them.
