ok, i think i have a day/night compromise that might work for vv

what if there were periodic new moons where it is does get a little darker, instead of it getting darker every night

it could get darker for 3 minutes of every hour the game is running, regardless of speed. it wouldn't be exact, but it might make people happier

i think day/night would be great, but in a game this size, it might just take too much effort

i'd rather see a moon all the time, reflected in the water maybe, that changes every quarter year vv time, or some such system, or a sundial that maybe is one of the puzzles

i think the sundial could be made into an integral part of the game-first of all, it could be a puzzle, needing science techs to be able to build it, and builders to construct it- it could affect how quickly crops spring up by telling villagers when to plant and when to harvest most effectively

any show od time passing would appease most of us, i think
