Can you add such option - battle at night ? CA? |

If to add an opportunity to battle at night, and not just in the afternoon or in the evening it will give many new advantages to the nations not having strong
shooting groups, and certainly will bring the piquancy to game.... We shall admit a night attack of apaches on an English fort, it interestingly and looks
beautifully as around of a fort late night and trees in a view of torches on walls of a fortress and around in a grass are already built crowds of Indians)))).

Although night battles would certainly be interesting and fun to watch/play, I doubt CA will implement them mainly due to the lack of actual night battles
during this specific time era (Wellesley himself only did one or two throughout his entire career and never forgave himself after the first one) and also
because there are, relatively speaking, very few actual melee units in the game.
Still, would be fun to watch cannons go off at night.

Bet you a cookie? I found traces of night battles having been considered at some point in a UI script.

Seiges happened durring all hours of the day and night But at this time most battles occured only in day light. Even extended battles paused at nightfall. This
was true right through the American Civil War.

RTW added night battles in an expansion, so if these rumours of an expansion to ETW are actually true, maybe it's one of the things that could be
introduced. Perhaps limited to siege battles though, as has been said, most engagements happened during the day at this period.

No, I think they came in as part of BI. I remember night battles being one of the big selling points for that expansion.

IIRC even the BI demo featured a night battle.

Night battles could be implemented, and i would definitely be a factor on the Attacking/Defending troop's morales. You should get the option, but they
should affect the General's reputation after the attack.

Yeah, Barbarian Invasion was great. You needed to have a commander with a certain amount of stars to be able to attempt a night battle though. It was useful in
that if you were up against two armies you could often exclude one of them if they didn't have a real general.

I think it would be cool if the Europeans could not attack at night because they need artificial light for their riflemen to use their weapons but that the
native American Indians could launch assaults at night because they are used to hunting, fighting, living in the dark etc.

i think there is a flare button among other cool stuff that didn't get implemented.

Dear CA
Please ignore these requests for meaningless additions to the game and continue with your work on those things that do matter. Thank you

meh...if you want visibility to be minimal just play land battle/rainstorm/evening...
...you can't see sod all!... ...I thought armies decamped and marched through the night, to avoid the heat of the midday sun and to get into position during daylight hours?... ...Can anyone point me to a 18th Century pitched night time musket and powder battle (12.00 - 4.00 am...not a skirmish or wooden fort raid) so I can google it please?... |
