It would be great to have features like ocean current and trade wind to make oversea exploration and naval combat more exciting, realistic and dangerous.  Think abou it, pre-industrial warships are mostly powered by wind, they weren't suppose to move freely without restrictions. With the feature such as trade wind, the wind direction would now have great effect on players naval strategy, how they maneuver will effect the outcome of battle, they will seak weather gage just like they seek highground in land battles. On the other hand this could also creat much interesting events during exploration instead of just constantly and repeatedly moving our naval unit straight to their destination without even look at it.

Hey there, 

At the moment I'm writing these words we are currently working on martime gameplay and naval warfare, so your idea is coming a the right time. 

I cannot promise you anything of course, but I can tell you the team is working hard on those aspects of the game ^^

Stay tune for more info

Have a very good day

Ben

Amplitude did something slightly similar with water terrain features like currents, fog, and storms in Endless Legend. It worked quite well and could potentially work in HK as well. The problem is probably immersion in that the timescales are explicitly longer and it would feel odd to have fog or a storm that lasts for a decade.
