It's a dark, dark place...

Zendar, outside at night, I mean. I can't see a thing.
Now that may be my graphics card, but I don't think so.
Maybe torches should be hung there.

It's dark, but I don't have trouble seeing. A few torches couldn't hurt, I guess, but you have tried turning your monitor's brightness up, right?

I posted this suggestion a while back and was shouted down by people saying "All medieval towns were dark! They didn't use torches!"

Aye. Right.

 

[Captain Black]

I few torchs couldnt hurt anything, I suppose. But I'm not having trouble seeing either. Maybe it's the setting on your video card? Have you tried boosting the gamma or brightness in the video configs? Shouldnt need much.

Does daylight seem dim at all?

In any case, I think the fire effect works pretty well and the dynamic lighting/shadow effects are nice enough to add some nice atmosphere to the courtyard.

Daylight's quite bright, but I seriously can't see the slave trader in the dark if I'm standing 15 feet away.

Medieval towns definitely used torch-equivalent objects.
