Fire Storm
Target: Any building, wall, or tower, or ships
Effect: Damages buildings and ships, and can spread to adjacent
structures
Fire is one of humanity’s oldest tools, but it has never truly been
tamed.  Controlled it is a great asset.  Unleashed, it has the potential of
causing great damage, especially when winds fan the flames.
Earthquake
Target: Land
Effect: Damages buildings and other structures
Perhaps nothing is as terrifying as feeling the seemingly solid earth
shake beneath your feet.  Earthquakes are most common along known
fault lines, but they can theoretically strike anywhere.  Earthquakes
sometimes tear the ground apart, obliterating whatever was on the sur-
face.
Malaria
Target: Land units (groups), except Cybers
Effect: Infected individuals lose health (but don’t die)
Malaria is an ancient scourge of humans and other animals, particu-
larly those living in tropical areas.  Mosquitoes carry the parasite that
causes the disease from host to host.  Symptoms include fever, weak-
ness, and chills.  Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician, described
and classified malarial fevers in the 5th Century BC. 
Hurricane
Target: Water
Effect: Damages ships with lightning
Hurricanes or tropical cyclones are among the most destructive forces
in nature due to their extreme power, immense size, and slow, meander-
ing pace.  In addition to the winds, which commonly exceed 100 mph,
heavy rain and frequent lightening accompany such storms.
Hurricanes always form over water.
