I presume at the moment day and night are currently modelled as either complete daylight or complete darkness. Is it possible to model twilight hours, i.e. a gradual progression to darkness or light?

There is a progression from darkness to light already . Visibility moves in steps from Daylight to Dusk to night (with variations for Full Moon, 3/4 Moon, Half Moon, 1/4 Moon and New Moon) back to Dawn (same as Dusk) and finally back to Daylight. The degree of visibility at each stage is set in the MapMaker when the map is created and is expressed as a percentage of full daylight visibility. Similarly there are effects for weather, which set a percentage modifier for various weather types (including clear weather).

If complete darkness as currently modelled is at 21-00, when does dusk set in? Likewise if complete daylight is at 04-00 what time is dawn?
