Civ BE Day/Night Cycle

The day night cycle would not be good in a typical game, yet I would love to see my empire at night with city lights. The tilted axis would be the perfect opportunity to make this a reality.

Another opportunity would be a senario similar to the Asimov story Nightfall. During most of the play the world is permanent day, but during a small window there is night, and during this time chaos and fear reign. I guess it would be a bit rip off of Endless Legends winter cycle, but who cares? During the night cycle alien activity could increase to such a level that normal operations were impossible. Cities essentially would become islands, and it would be necessary to bunker down and fortify during such periods. Perhaps a different, extremely bad ass alien could emerge during night cycles.
 
The above would basically be increased alien activity for the opposite reason of SMAC. (Planet approaching its nearest point to Alpha Centauri Beta and getting extra light & heat from it)

I'm thinking for a display only day night cycle, why not just peek at the users system clock?
