Naja Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Is the fog of war something that can be set on or off? Or can it be edited in XML files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra848 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I always like it on. You have better chances to flank your enemy and do surprise attacks. I understand how some people would like to turn it off. I must not fearFear is the mind-killerFear is the little death that brings total obliterationI will face my fearI will permit it to pass over me and through meAnd when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its pathWhere the fear has gone there will be nothingOnly I will remain-- The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fearfrom the novel Dune by Frank Herberthttp://www.petroglyphgames.com/images/hierarchy_banner1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Against the AI, I find it hard to flank them whether the FoW is on or off. Human players I prefer it to be on since they know just a little as you do on troop movement of the opposing side. But the AI always seems to be a bit omniscient when it comes to my positiion. I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 AI is the computer and your playing on the computers terms so of course they would know where you are. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megajames Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Most games have one part of the computer running the game, and a seperate part being the AI, on most new games the AI can not cheat, (Get extra resouses, see your troops) and will play like any human player. Evacuate, in our moment of triumph. I think you overestimate their chances.

Dorkthehunter Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I hope you can toggle it. Against a human player, I would want it on, but against a computer player, I would want it on.

Little.B Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I think you will be able to toggle in the game settings for skirmish and multiplayer battles. http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/banner_eaw.jpgFeel the ForceIRC (QuakeNet): #empireatwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkthehunter Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 In space, you can see everything! There should be no surprises or fog of war! You should know exactly what you're up against so that you can retreat if you want to. Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional.

Ghostly_Substance Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 If your on top of a mountain you should see farther also Think about it your on the CNN Tower or the........Eiffel Tower or some huge tower in USA and you see more then on the ground Same with the air units. In space you can only see so far like here to the moon or here to Mars or Jupiter. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 i think there should be definate fog of war, no toggle, why should you cheat? it just seems cheating and less realistic being able to see everthing at the same time, including in space.

Naja Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not for cheating purposes. Just for esthetic reasons, I suppose. RTW, for example, simply had an enable/disable line in its files. "Fogofwar = true", or something like that. If you had an inkling to disable it for the world map, you'd just change "true" to "false." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had an inkling to disable it for the world map, you'd just change "true" to "false." im not saying you could use it to cheat, but if you had scouted the entire map, then whats the strategy? you can see where the enemy is ata all time! its the toggle i dont like, we need FOW for good!
