Wesnoth definitely has it. Advantages are race-based in that particular game. "Good" or lawful units do more damage at day and less damage at night. "Evil" or chaotic units are vice-versa. The 'day' is 6 turns long there, including 'dusk/dawn' periods that are a wash for both sides. It's a pretty pronounced strategic part of that particular game.
Like movies, it seems like "new" patterns are just rehashes of existing ones with different names or meaningless semantic differences. At some point it seems like it becomes a counterproductive activity that burns energy that could be better applied to other activities. What are your feelings about where the most meaningful contributions to patterns can be achieved?
