I knew you were going to work on a scenario supplement but I didn't know it would be as detailed as atmospheric conditions!
Although cool (and original to me) I would like to see more traditional scenarios. Something one could point to and say "let's play that".
Currently, "EPIC: Total War" has about 20 different "generic army"/traditional scenarios that are being worked on... These are not "historic refights", and most will be easily used with "pick up" games, while others will require semi-tailored armies to be most playable.  Most will allow two players to have brought 3000 point armies, say, and decide upon meeting "Let's play a 'Rescue' scenario instead of the Tournament scenario!", as an example.  Some are "mirrored conditions", while others are "opposed conditions" for winning, but all are different ways of playing the game.
The "Planetary Conditions", amongst other things, are modifiers/additions that can be applied to the base scenarios to have rules for almost any conceivable battlefield... to allow a *broad* range of both interesting scenarios and unique campaign play. Many of the scenarios will have a "core setup" and then "tiers" of difficulty... similar to the "Alpha", "Beta", and "Omega" levels of play in the old 40k missions.
It ain't just fighting in a vacuum!  *laugh*
