Blackout in German Cities

Hard coded?

If not, I can see early in the war but after mid 1940, maybe slightly earlier should be total blackouts.

Aside from light houses maybe? I'm not sure if they blacked those out or not....

Good point. Never thought about this but indeed everything should be blacked out. But I think they didn't do it because the game just looks better this way.

It sure would be nice to able to shut them off.
It'd probably give the RAM and CPU a nice break too.

Never really took this into consideration or rather never had noticed.

It does look welcoming, even to those bombers.

Aesthetics of the game.

Hi,

it can be done without touching any hardcode. You just need to modify the harbor_kit file.

Cheers, LGN1
