Lightning Warrior Raidy II combines traditional turn-based battle with elements of visual novels. Unlike its predecessor, it uses limited animation for some scenes instead of simple static images. Maps, which had to be located in the first game, are now automatically created as Raidy progresses through a dungeon. [2]
In 2007, G-Collections, an affiliate brand of JAST USA, acquired the rights to release Lightning Warrior Raidy in English along with Snow Sakura. At that time, the release was planned for "mid- to late 2007", [ 2 ] [ 5 ] but English production didn't finish until May 13, 2008, when G-Collections announced that the game had hit " golden master ...
To facilitate the harvesting of lightning, a laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC) could theoretically be used to influence lightning to strike in a predictable location. A high power laser could be used to form an ionized column of gas, which would act as an atmospheric conduit for electrical discharges of lightning, which would direct the lightning to a ground station for harvesting.
Blitzortung (German for "lightning direction-finding", German pronunciation: [ˈblɪtsˌɔʁtʊŋ]) is an informal, non-commercial group of citizen scientists supported by professional scientists. Active since 2005, [ 1 ] station operators manage a worldwide network of ~1800 active VLF radio wave receiver stations in 83 countries. [ 2 ]
Players nonetheless hinted at supposed clues found in the game after its June release, such as a mention of the "Oxen Gods" and a cow-shaped map. [16] Five months later, a player stated that they had killed 666 cows and was subsequently awarded one of several relics that could unlock a location called the "Forlorn Hovel", which housed a secret ...
Global map of lightning frequency--strikes/km 2 /yr. The high lightning areas are on land located in the tropics. Areas with almost no lightning are the Arctic and Antarctic, closely followed by the oceans which have only 0.1 to 1 strikes/km 2 /yr. The map on the right shows that lightning is not distributed evenly around the planet. [5]
A lightning strike can also create a large Lichtenberg figure in grass surrounding the point struck. These are sometimes found on golf courses or in grassy meadows. [ 12 ] Branching root-shaped " fulgurite " mineral deposits may also be created as sand and soil are fused into glassy tubes by the intense heat of the current.
When a sufficiently large positive lightning strike carries charges to the ground, the cloud top is left with a strongly negative net charge. This can be modeled as a quasi-static electric dipole and for less than 10 milliseconds a strong electric field is generated in the region above the thunderstorm.
