I do appreciate the thought and effort that has been put into the revamped
terrain, weather, and seasons. Some really nice flavor.

One thing that I've found disturbing, is this ice in winter time. Breaking ice
(even with swim over 100%) gives more damage then crossing water without swim
skill. Waterwalking seems to prevent the damage. I would like to see having
high swim have a similar effect against ice breaks. I won't insert any realism
or other logic here, I'll let you figure that out. Just seems that both should
give protection of some kind (even if not identical.)
Thanks.

How about making it a req that if you fall through ice you have to have
sblades to get out, otherwise youd drown if noone cant help you. Its not easy
to climb out of a hole in the ice without naskalit.

Fairly often, the people falling through the ice are big. So big in fact, that
they don't need to swim while they cross rivers.
In my humble opinion, it'd be quite ridiculous to need jäänaskalit to get out
of knee-deep water.
