In Illwinter's first game, Conquest of Elysium, seasons were very important. During winter, all your income was divided by 5, and every season lasted for 5 turns (IIRC). There were no rituals (except summons) as most of us know them, but in Temples and similar some mages could perform special rituals that took only time. I found Illwinter out that way...

It was also cool because the game was tile-based, and winter really stood out.

Winters should be made much more severe. Something like 3/4th of the supplies and income, plus the temperature's effects. Having temperature scales be more severe would still be interesting.
