Hi guys. I'm trying to study the AI to see exactly how it works, but I can't seem to do it with the fog of war covering the entire map. My question is, is there a way to edit some files so that the fog of war is completely removed? I don't want to wait until I've researched a satellite to be able to do this, and I know there has to be away to tweak some files to reveal the entire map, but I don't know where to begin. Any suggestions? :confused:

satellites doesn't remove fog of war by the way, it just reveals the map excluding civs

Enter world builder to see everything on your turn.

If you want to watch AI unit movements, you can place spies everywhere using world builder.

There is a reveal tile mode in WorldBuilder. You would have to keep going into it, looking around, and doing it there every turn however. Best I got.

I think just giving yourself 50 spies all over the map with the world builder would be the best idea

hey, there is a way to remove the fog of war in the files. I got this off another thread. I can't remember the link, but here are the instructions. I did it myself so I know it works.

open up Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\Technologies\CIV4TechInfos.xml

and do a replace all changing <bMapVisible>0</bMapVisible> to <bMapVisible>1</bMapVisible>.

You will be able to see the whole map, but it won't show where each civ is located until you find them or get someone to trade a map to you. Also things like resources and huts won't show up until you walk over the areas.

Worked for me!:p
