Quite an amusing teaser really, are you excited about it?

I do love that it's being expanded again, but I hope they do better than the Snowfall expansion which disappointed me somewhat. Having the snow locked to a specific map was quite a letdown.

About the expansion
Natural Disasters will add a series of city-destroying emergencies to Cities: Skylines, which can occur unexpectedly during the game – or be manually triggered by mayors seeking a challenge or some sort of gruesome, vindictive pleasure. Buildings and infrastructure will be destroyed, fire can spread across locations, and countless lives may be lost unless players implement the right emergency plans and responses and keep an ear on the new radio alert system. Fans of Cities: Skylines will have the chance to overcome everything from massive fires to meteor strikes, and allow their friends to do the same with a new Scenario Mode, where custom challenges can be designed and shared through Steam Workshop.

Features

* Deep, Impactful Gameplay: Keep your city going through the devastation of several possible doomsday scenarios, from towering infernos to the day the sky exploded

* With Great Power Comes Great Response Abilities: Plan for, and respond to, disasters using early warning systems, countermeasures, and new disaster responses such as helicopters and evacuations – finally, a Paradox game where “Comet Sighted” actually means something

* Radio Saved the Video Game: Citizens can go Radio Ga-Ga with a new broadcast network, helping to rapidly spread evacuation warnings and emergency alerts – or simply relax to new in-game music stations

* An Objectively Good Feature: Scenario Mode allows players to design custom game objectives, including custom starting cities, win conditions, time limits, and more – and share scenarios to Steam Workshop

Quoting: numasanI just hope there will be many kind of disasters, and not just fire-based ones, such as viral epidemics or something that requires more police. Having only natural disasters also sounds a bit limiting - am I the only one who'd like to see plane crashes if you have an airport near urban areas?

I'd like to see a nuclear explosion burning your city to ashes...

Then, survivors who need to scavenge the wastelands to survive. Oops... that's another game. Cool concept, anyway :)
