Night fights

[_Tristan_]

a) Reinforcements that are led by night-fight incapable generals or captains are out of the battle. thats HUGE.

b) missile accuracy is drastically lowered. Again, pretty big difference.

c) From what I know there is no real difference in morale/hiding.

d) Night battle general gets +1 command while the other, if incapable, does not get any.

a) True...

b) Not so true... Fire arrows have no accuracy penalty I know of (so long Xbows...)

c) You can sometimes surprise the enemy on the battle map under cover of night, slipping some troops behind unseen...
About morale, I can only think of the morale effect of fire arrows...

d) True also... ( and more the more night fights he gets involved in...)

A night-fighter general is a major asset if facing an enemy fielding multiple stacks (particularly if captain-led... think assassin...)

There was a thread a year or so ago where I summarized all benefits and contras regarding night battles. Do a search on that.

As for missile accuracy, there is absolutely no penalty to missile accuracy at night.
Tristan: Fire arrows have a slightly lower accuracy than non fire arrows.

Also some generals can get a negative penalty while fighting at night, Noctophobia or something like that I think. That gives THEM a penalty and YOU a bonus in command.
