    Default Night fight

    Hail


    In M:TW some generals have the "Night Fighter" trait, which gives some command bonus. Do you plan to keep this EB II?
    If you do, I think you should grant this trait to all Spartiatai generals. Their Agoge prevented them from using torches, in order to train their eyes to see better in the night.
    Maybe even the Spartiatai Hoplitai unit, shoul have a night-fighting bonus (and many barbarian units, too), but I think that's not possible, right?

    Wasn't agoge abolished after the defeats at Mantea and Leuktra? Anyway, night battles did occur, but they mostly were ambushes or camp raids, not set-piece like in TW.
