Added damaging wind and lightning fronts

Expedition weather warns of approaching fronts and can damage exposed units.

I added directional abrasive wind and lightning hazards to Expedition, with warnings before the fronts arrive.

Exposed units can take damage, and the weather schedule is saved with the campaign. The developer database also has real previews of these effects.

“I added directional abrasive wind and lightning hazards to Expedition, with warnings before the fronts arrive.”

The clip initializes a controlled native weather front near the Pioneer, then lets the existing warning, weather and damage rules run. It is not a randomly encountered storm.

Storm balance and subjective audio remain unmeasured. A short weather demonstration does not establish long-session performance or fairness across every army size.
