Searchlights on hidden units?
« on: 07 October 2020, 18:15:31 »
Should using a searchlight, or having an active/not turned off searchlight, on a hidden unit reveal that unit when non-daylight/non-dawn/dusk conditions are present?

I've got an odd situation here (granted, its Princess + hidden units + double blind + darkness mods + searchlight): the Manticore twins are being illuminated by an enemy searchlight.  The searchlight user should also be illuminated, but it's a hidden unit, so I can't shoot back.  I'm lucky in not taking fire from other enemy units at the moment, but that could change.  Should this be permissible?

Edit: version 47.7
Think about it.  It's what we do.
