Fog oh War

Post by Frox »

Right now I would say my biggest annoyance in this game is the fog of war style. after and area is explored it need a gray translucent fog. I'm usually pretty aggressive and like to scout alot for good targets. But I can never remember where I looked alot of the time especially on big maps. And even more annoying is I don't know the sight range of sensor turrets. Sometimes I think I got a good view of an area and next thing I know 20 guys just snuck by there with no warning. So distance fog would imo be a simple but good improvement.

And then if possible something that indicates the attack range and sight range of things like mortars and sensors. (Like the rings in supreme commander, red is attack blue is radar coverage) yeh that lack of fog really gets to me ><

I just committed it to trunk. Once it gets some testing there, I intend to backport it for release in 2.3.

Let me know if you have any feedback on behaviour and visuals.
