hey, would it be possible to have a skill that would give the unit
sight of squares farther than its sight range? like a telescope or
bonocular skill where the target could view a square and or the
squares around it from like 10 spaces away? would be cool for fog and
would help determine where units are.
it would also be nice for a skill to place a fog back on a area that
is known, for the enemies purposes more than anything, as the enemy
doesn't seem to be affected by fog at all and can find you quite
easily, so it would be nice to have a fog that you could place to try
to hide your units kind of like a smoke screen. i also think it would
be nice though it might be possible to have units with no sight have a
skill that gives them a sight for a limited amount of turns, mainly
for space crafts as it would be a nice way of introducing radar sonar
and scanners.
i also suggest a way to fill in fog on a map in the edditor so that
not the whole map is filled with fog, so maybe half the map fog half
not so you would know what your map showed as friendly or whatever
good for knowing where some ships or units of the enemy are in the
beginning and where some arent d.
i also want to know weather the fog could be used as a unit hider, but
not a terrain hider, thought this may also be in effect already, but
where you may not know who is on the tile but you know a river is on
the tile, giving an idea of the land but not the units.
just some ideas loving fog and unexplored!
