You can't blow up their walls in the RTW era (no matter what the game shows), and don't forget the wooden horse is likely mythology.

And go out into the mountains where there's no city light during full moon. How far can you see ahead? Not very. Can you tell the difference between this red bear flag and this blue eagle flag from half a kilometer away? I doubt it. What about the difference between the yellow rose on the flag of our allies and the white rose of our enemies?

As for sieges it's a double thing. You're more likely to approach the wall without being seen and it's harder for the defenders to aim, but it's still harder to co-ordinate the attack at night. Like the Athenians that ended up fighting themselves near Syracuse (it was an attempted night siege surprise assault, fitting all my categories for more likely case of night engagement...and it failed)

Once big cannons come along siege assaults at night becomes more often. However as you said, before this night siege assaults did happen.

But not night battles (battles, not raids). Well actually they did, but not nearly often enough to warrant inclusion into the game. I mean you don't see us being able to cut trees and push them down on the enemy, but that tactic was certainly used (according to Livy anyway). If a tactic is only used once out of say 100 000 engagements, you can call it rare enough it shouldn't be included in the game.

EDIT: Thanks Appo.
