I've been playing around with the torch effect during night battles and it seems to be removable. All I did was remove the file desc_effects_torch_fire.txt out of the bi/data directory, though this only removes the effect. However as the above screen shows, torches are still seen from afar. I dont think its connected to the sprites as I have the unit detail set to highest. The torch handler is also present. Maybe someone with more experience can look into this... but from what I can tell night battles arent very moddable (in terms of say, having certain units benefit from fighting at night, improved "invisibility" for units, some units carrying torches while not others).
