Yes we are! It shall be:

Nature's Wrath

[wallyweb]

YAYYYYYYYY! He's back!
Perhaps a brief word of explanation for those who are not familiar with the expression "Nature's Wrath!" ...
In English, we have an expression: "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature!". She does exact her revenge in so many, often horrible, ways. She seems to enjoy, in particular, the disruption of transportation.

In my opinion a great theme . Thanks for the explanation, wallyweb . Left to think about how to implement in a game. I have a few options.

Just wanted to say that this has been one of the most impressive rounds of the screenshot contest I can remember. As someone who's been voting since Ameecher's original incarnation (and that's a looooong time ago now), it's great to see the community still producing excellent stuff. Genuinely considered voting for all of them!

[STD]

I totally agree with you, Pingaware . Thank you to all those who organise these events and those involved . I hope that this tradition will continue.

Nice pick ! My evil mastermind already works on a few ideas....

[Chrill]

This theme feels like it needs a decent photoshop or some cleverness. I prefer just snapping a photo of my actual as-is network rather than develop a situation for this game. I might pass this month and let you creative people do all the magic.

Can I just comment on last month. That might be the finest set of screenshots I think I've ever seen.

Wally... Wow. That thing was incredible. Quast's scene was also superb.

Wayyyy back in the day I used to be a bit of a player in the screenshot world... But I can't even get CLOSE to these.

I can't believe they're from TTD!

Don't give up the ship just yet. We have a few weeks before the deadline and inspiration tends to arrive unannounced.

The secret is in the sauce. Newobjects helped a bit as well.

[Sabret00th]

Mostly new objects

Just the three entries so far folks. Get creative!

[Sabret00th]

Can't believe that just three of us got creative for over two weeks! I even checked if I forgot to sent my submission or something....
Come on, it's not that hard. I've done mine in 15 minutes, and put a bit of an effort in there, so just do it! Think of what Nature has in it' arsenal of elements, which are fire, water, wind, and earth.

If you want to compete, but can't come up with an idea or don't know how to put it in, message me. I am willing to help....
(Altough it will be hillarious if someone wins with my help... )

Four! I just submitted.

I have one in my head. I try to submit it at the right time

[STD]

I don't know how to implement in-game screenshot on a similar theme. There are several options. But within the game rather than just something to implement.. I'll try to think of something

Edit. I also sent a screenshot .

[Ladusa]

Ok, one fast screenshot from me was sent

Sunken City
For two weeks now, the city has been completely flooded because of the unremitting rain. The only bridge high enough to be spared was the railroad bridge. With the motorway now completely underwater, the once dormant local railroad is now put to good use, intensely transporting passengers and cargo in unfamiliar consists. Local boats, now serving as improvised ferries, connect the two stations to the city centre. Wooden piers have been erected in order to ease the boarding. (can you spot them?)

Avalanche! The Viol Ranch bauxite mine branch has been destroyed by an avalanche from the steep snow-covered slopes, caused by an underground mining explosion. Two trains have been trapped by the snow but no fatalities have been reported. The line is expected to be closed off for congestion and safety reasons and replaced by trucks.

File comment: Wasn't that close! After a heavy snowfall the snow was cleared from the track, but the ground couldn't stand it and a avalanche was triggered. Thank God no one got injured in any means. Even the train driver was able to see the damage far enough to stop the freight train. After few hour of searching the excavators were found for the workforce and send to the scene to clear up the mess.

The west wall of the Trump Dam has been torn apart from the tidal wave that came from the Deez River. The tsunami-like mass of water have devastated downtown, piling up mountains of rubble on the streets.
Damage and casualties are still being calculated, but the first rescue helicopters have been deployed.
It is unclear what caused the disaster (which even threw a few ships amidst the buildings), but theories began emerging that illegal waste disposal may have clogged the river at some point, until the critical point came.
