    Maksimus, applebreath, take your arguments elsewhere please.

    Only characters with the "night-fighter" trait can participate in night battles, so it prevents non-nightfighter led armies from reinforcing.

    But are there any penalties to the army being attacked at night or bonuses for the army attacking at night. Other than only commanders with the night trait can attack/reinforce.
    Imo, the following "mod" is almost perfect:

    the commander who could participate in night battle (barely a night fighter), get +1 command when fighting at night. everyone that participate in the night battle (except the one that was attacked - doesn't need to have night battle traits) will get additional command points. If really experienced in night battle (until gain Noctophiliac traits), get a bonus +3 to command at night, so it will effectively turn 6 star general into 10 star general when fighting at night.

    Not as far as I know, but I haven't played any campaigns with vanilla BI and did not enable night-battles in EB-BI. At night, flaming ammunition is on per default, but whether this has a reason or is simply for visual effect I could not say.

    This is really too much..

    To conclude, I am a moder hosting my modification on these and some other RTW forums. Dont want lies and false info about my work only because someone doesnt like the mod.

    I will Pm TosaInu about this very soon, I dont use anything other than fact's. Random forum users have right to comment not make up things its against forum rules.

    @ Maksimus
    We didn't spread lies for your work, the Night Battles in Alex are albeit buggy... Hmm, could you just keep your head cool and give some technical advice, like what kind of file we need to modify, or what line should be added?

    Honestly, we did play your works and conclude it great, except with two minor nitpick... no shieldwall, and the night battles were still buggy, that's it. Please give technical advice, maybe some of us write their post as if they want to insult you, but honestly, we don't want to insult you... just to mention, many of us are not a native english speakers, and maybe our grammar and choice of verbs maybe misinterpreted. Honestly, If our posts did offend you, let us say soory. And uh, yeah.... the rebel AI in Alex is a bit stronger.

    Look at the links I gave above. There is a step-by-step way to do it at Maksimus's thread. Also there is a small mod there (NOT EAEM) that does it for you. You just got to read that page and try to understand it. It is a little bit confusing.

    No, nigth battles are not working for me either. I have recently installed and it does not work for me either, the check box can not be checked and my family member already have the treat...
    But I just don't care about night battles, I am in search of a better AI behaviour.
