Night time fun time?
NukeTheMoon:
A day/night cycle would be spiffy and not terribly resource-consuming to do, though it depends how the maps were designed. However implementing new weather and especially wind mechanics are a very tough nut to crack from a designer perspective.
Without any haptic feedback the players would have a really hard time to figure out which way the wind is blowing and how fast it is. You might say Assassin's Creed managed to handle this problem, but AC only had to deal with horizontal wind (X and Z axis). With airships capable of vertical movement you would have to also inform the player where the wind is blowing on a Y axis. I think it might be difficult to represent it legibly even with an additional UI element.
I would propose leaving GoI mechanics wind-proof as they are. Night fights, though - yes please!
Omniraptor:
We already have horizontal wind. It's also quite easily represented by using more subtle speed lines- kind of like the map-edge ones, but more subtle. Or you could get a steampunkish weather-vane next to the helm :)
I'd personally rather have day/night maps instead of a cycle.
Coldcurse:
I also like o have just a day map and a night map, cycles arent needed.
one game is mostly 10 to 15 minutes if not competitive.
How would you cycle from day to night and the other way around, it would look really silly how afast it becomes dark.
Just having the following options for maps would be good enough for me.
Time: morning/day/noon/night.
Weather: clear/rain/misty. (sandstorms everywhere would be too OP).

Night-time maps would be a great challenge, something rather new. Rethinking a strategy and all.
And beautiful, BEAUTIFUL bright explosions and fire in the dark cold night!
