As the year 300 AS set in, crops grew poorly all across the lands of CivSim, plagued by conditions that were in some cases too wet and in others too dry, but all around unusually cold. Some areas that rarely froze in the winter saw summer frosts, ruining crops as they grew in the fields. Once winter arrived, many lakes and rivers could even be traversed on foot!

Thus began the Hundred Years of Cold, lasting from 300-400 AS.

Your mission for this OC contest, should you accept it, is to write about the effects of the Hundred Years of Cold on your nation and its people. Those who submit valid posts will gain bonuses to one or more of their spreadsheet stats, as determined by the mods based on your RP.

The contest will be open for (roughly) one week, until next Tuesday, July 10th at 11:59 PM EDT. Note that all submissions for this contest must be set somewhere within the time period of 300-400 AS, even if your submission doesn't come until after the potential time shift this Sunday.
