How can I...?

[GoldenElite0]

Remove the fog of war from my 'radar' map? I'm not so bothered about the actual campaign mission map, just the little one in the corner.

Open up the console and type toggle_fow
It clears the fow for both the map and the minimap.

[GoldenElite0]

I'm pressing the tilde key to open the console, but it doesn't open! I've tried only on the campaign map (yknow where you manage your armies/cities etc)

[J@mes]

press ¬ then type toggle_fow to remove fog of war if you want to turn it back on just type it again.

Hope this helps.

The "`" button above the tab button

[GoldenElite0]

I got it.

The ` isn't used as the console command on my keyboard, it was the ' key, second key left of L Odd really, I am using a British keyboard but the console command has always been where the tilde key on an American board is. Anyway thanks everybody.

Dont mean to steal the thread but does it affect the performance if you play without FOW all the time?

No it will still run at the same frame rate even if fog of war is always off.

In later years it will slow down a bit, but not much.
