Partial Fog of War (if you like realism!)

[Danwood]

The fog of war is a good implementation for M2TW, but it would be more realistic if every faction would have a part of the map already explored. For exemple: i play with Milan, at the start of the game it can see only its province explored, as if it doesn't know how the Italy was (in the early middle age every nation in Europe did!)
So, in that period, Milan knew a good part of the Europe and the whole Italy peninsula, the fog of war should be reduced only for the land that the factions have never seen, like the America until its discovery, and the uncolonised North Africa.

Well, i tried to do a realistic fog, keepeng the main part of Europe explored for all the factions.

the idea is good, but you can use watchtowers, and also if you view all, this take one of the functions of the spies

anyway good job

Yes, the main aim of the watchtowers is to watch, but not mainly over the black fog of war, but expecially over the "second" fog of war witch prevents you to see the enemy units/towns, instead if you want to explore a black map zone, you just use a simple unit or make a map info trade...

For the spies it's the same, their aim is to give you info about the enemy town/units and not only to "explore" the unvealed (black) map....

And, mainly, in the 1180ac & later, any faction in europe already knew a good part of the Europe map
