    Default Fog of War begone!

    This was made by request, it permanently removes the fog of war from that save game, meaning you may experience LAG and turn times may be VERY SLOW.

    It allows you to see the entire campaign map, but is only recommended that you use it to check the map out or if you're modding the campaign map. Don't use it in an actual campaign because it'll slow your turn times down.

    Activating the Mod:
    a) You can activate the mod by starting a new campaign as any faction, and you'll automatically be able to see the entire map.
    b) If you are part way through a campaign and want to use this mod, you'll have to recruit a NEW agent/hero, and move them a little bit on the campaign map.

    it seems i got it not working... I have copied and paste the 2 elements as you said and I have started a new campaign with the empire.

    I still have the fog and i cannot see anything but just the zones around the empire capital.

    Where did i do wrong?

    Make sure you've got the mod enabled in the mod launcher thing.
    Otherwise, I've got no idea why it isn't working for you. I just started a new campaign as the Empire to test it, and it works.
    By the way, the mod causes lag and I only made it because you requested it, and in case any people doing campaign overhauls or whatever want to use it to see if their stuff works.

    ehm... so... what does it mean specifically ?

    I do launch the game from Steam after having pasted the 2 files into data folder ... do i have to launch it from the desktop icon ?

    Can you post some screenshot eventually ? : /

    If you've got the Steam version of the game, just subscribe to the mod on Steam. Then just make sure its enabled:

    I am getting mad...

    I dunno what happened but it looks like Steam is the Cause of this mod's end.

    Each time I go into the mod launcher thing the 2 files I have put into the data folder disappear !!

    I think I will have to remove everything and paste the back up folder i kept but i am afraid that it concerns Steam instead...

    EDIT: it happens just with your mod.....

    I disabled the mod on Steam because heaps of people were complaining about it ruining their save games despite me warning them its not really intended for actual use, only a one time thing or whatever.
    So the links remain here if you really want to use it, but otherwise this mod was kind of useless.

    I've updated the links so it should work again for you.

    You have to do as i did. Put the files into data folder and when you launch the game you DO NOT have to be connected.

    In this way steam doesnt recognize the mod doesnt exist anymore and you will see it in the mod's list.

    After that you can go online but remember that each time you will launch the game steam will delete those files if you are online in that specific moment.

    Ok thanks I will try to install it again this evening but the point was not the link from where donwloaded it as yesterday I used MediaFire...

    The point is that the mod thing of Steam did not recognize it and I couldnt install it... When I put the file into data folder and I let the game run both files disappear.

    I'll see again this evening.

    By the way the mod was good to me and it didnt slow or ruined anything

    Nothing to do.

    I put the file into the data folder but when I run the mod thing they magically disappear.

    EDIT: if I play it offline the mod files remain into data folder. If I get online they disappear.

    It has never happened until when I tried to play with RADIOUS TOTAL WAR MOD... but when i used it i turned all other mods off before. Then I didnt like it and got back to other mods including yours which worked with no problems before.

    After that I got this problem... only if I play online.

    Hi Caligula!

    Hope you are doing well

    Is there any chance you would update your mod for the new game version ?

    Thanks

    EDIT: SORRY DONT CONSIDER, IT WORKS
