Benefits of a nighttime attack?

[PoweredBySoy]

My general has the ability to force a nighttime attack, but I looked everywhere in the encyclopedia for what that does - couldn't find anything. I assume it hampers archers ability and probably makes it easier to hid, but I'm not sure.

They talk about it here. Look under "night battles" I hope it helps! ^^

Only definitive use I found for night battle is that the enemy cannot be reinforced, so it's a great way to pick apart a huge multiple full stack armies.

Ty Daria for that link, I was wondering the same thing.

Night battles also cause morale drops in armies not under command of a general who knows night battles, I think.

Night Battles disable reinforcement armys, thats all.

Night Battles disable reinforcement armys, thats all.

Only if the reinforcing army can't fight in night battles. If they can, they will still show up.

So to sum up:

Night battles lowers visibility and projectile range for both sides.

If the opposing army does not have the ability to attack at night, then...

The enemy will have a morale penalty and will not be able to receive reinforcements.

FYI: even if one side has Two stacks with the night fighter trait, they won't be able to reinforce.

^This. Even if you have two Night Fighter armies and you fight a night fight, your own army stack won't reinforce.
