I read in a review posted yesterday....
I feel bad for the guy...he's completely missed what is one of the most powerful additions to the campaign.Quote:
The option - should your General have the requisite skill - to fight battles at night is more useful for the spectacle than the small morale advantage it'll confer.
Night battles - should your General have the requisite skill - allows you to bring your army into the midst of an enemy horde and pick off their armies individually. As the huns, with a single "hybrid" horde army (All horse archers and cavalry...all the peasant cavalry and spearman where removed) I moved into the midst of the four frank armies that where created upon sacking their cities. Not one of the four frank armies had the ability to do Night Battle and as a result none of the armies where able to reinforce. 1 Hun army with approximately 700 men took out each one of the Frank armies, individually in night battles...a total of approximately 3000 franks and I lost about 40 of my huns.
Yes of course there is always the small moral value of attacking at night, but the real power of the night attack comes when you remove one of your enemy generals greatest assets....his reinforcements.
