Tides - can be done if there exists a model describing the changes. Or an approximation using positions of Moon and Sun
I was going to suggest that; good thing I read the thread ;) ...

Tides can have a really big impact on the appearance of landscape etc and would definitely be a nice thing to see in something like Outerra (see the first and last pictures here: http://thecontaminated.com/mount-saint-michael-french-island-and-castle/)

An approximation with the sun/moon position would work well for "open" bodies of water, however it breaks down when you have inlets and closed bays...

I wonder if you could us xtide: http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/xtide.html. It would provide much more accurate data!
