I had a practical question: from what distance could my MC be able to see the enemy approaching?
There are lots of variables here, including how many are the enemy, my MC's elevation, whether it's bright or cloudy, and so on. But in looking around I found some useful articles, so I thought I'd share.

How Far Can the Human Eye See? | Human Visual Acuity
system agnostic - A summary of visibility? - Role-playing Games Stack Exchange
(one can always count on the role playing folks for this sort of thing)
Re: On a dark night, how far away can a person see a lit candle?
