Removing fog of war

[Crispin]

Im wondering if there is any way to remove fog of war? Yup its some sort of cheating but im just wondering if its possible.

Thanks

The only way I know of is to use "debug" mode. You create a scenario in the editor end enable Debug Mode in the scenario properties (IIRC). When you load this scenario you will see the whole map, and you can see all the AI moves [bo-ring!] and I think you can also do stuff like fiddle with their build orders.

In debug mode you can do a lot of things... give yourself improvements/units, see what the AI has researched...

Dianthus' CRP Rings used to do that for you. Last time I tried it, it wouldn't work though. This may because I was using it under Conquests and it was designed for Vanilla. Alternately he may have removed the feature. You can give it a shot anyway.

I wouldn't recommend it because the turns will take forever.

IM not sure about this becouse ive never tried it out, but there is a file in Art somewhere that shows fog of war and maybe if you blanked out all the black spaces there you could make the "fog" transparent. That is the game would not understand that it isnt, becouse the fog of war tiles would still be there just transparent, but you would be able to see through it.

As i said never tried it out. Could work... hehe

I figure the the fog isn't the black spaces . You can have the map total 'revealed' but if your units or towers arn't in the area, You won't see the action taking place on that exposed tile.

The debug is the best way but Im always building the 'Cable News Conglomarate Wonder' so to send out war reporters and 'uncover' world events for my Civ

Someone did this trick a few years ago - it only worked with Vanilla before they fixed it. It's good logic, and that's why it worked at first, but it's quite outright cheating.

I'll see if I can find the thread... *off to C&C*

edit: Yep, I found it here.
