I'm playing a Civ III Conquests (v. 1.22) game. I tried placing an outpost at my border, within my territory, in two different places, and it doesn't seem to be working.
The first location was a hill 3 squares from an enemy city. There were several dark (not black) squares within a 3-square radius, indicating areas where the "fog of war" was in effect, as well as one black square, indicating an unexplored area. Upon building the outpost on the hill, I was expecting the fog of war to be lifted for 3 squares all around. In particular, I was expecting to be able to see the enemy unit guarding the city; I was expecting to have the "dark" areas become light; and I was expecting the black area to become visible. None of these happened.
The second location was a desert spot 2 squares from the enemy city. Again, the results were as above--no noticeable effect from building the outpost.
Am I misunderstanding how outposts are supposed to work, or are they not working properly?
