brigadier Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hey i was just wondering if someone could tell what exactly the 'fog of war' option is in preferences? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Barry Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It means you cannot see most stats until you scout, buy, loan or play against players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackemDixon Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I believe it's another term for attribute masking. With that turned on, you won't be able to access players stats without first scouting them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigadier Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ah Attribute Masking... I thought they'd turned FM into a Military Strategy game when I first saw it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 19, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted April 19, 2010 My bad - when I first put Attribute Masking into CM01-02 (all those years ago) I called it 'Fog of War*' and confused the heck out of people ... when I did it for this version I did the same by mistake, apologies. *Yes as you've probably guessed outside of sports sims my main game playing addictions involve turn based war games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack258 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Marc, I'll be the first in line to get you sacked! How dare you make a mistake!! Don't say sorry...we thank you millions for you, and your teams hard work, we all make mistakes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Mark!

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 22, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted April 22, 2010 Slightly off topic, I'm also keen on TBS war games (after FM of course), but all of the new ones seem to be real time - are there any good TBS games still out there?? There are LOTS of good ones about imho - if you haven't tried it already then I'd seriously recommend 'The Battle for Wesnoth', its a turn based strategy game which is probably one of the best available (free or commercial) - some of the scenarios available for it are fantastic. If you haven't tried it and get it download the 'Son of Red Eye' scenario - that one in particular is fantastic (there's also another one where you play as an Elf and you start in a small map in a scenario then at what you presume is the 'end' of it suddenly the map gets much larger and you realise you're actually involved in a much larger battle than you thought you were, all good stuff with unique twists and surprises imho. PS - The Battle for Wesnoth is best on PC/Mac/Linux imho, but you can also get an iPhone version of it (the PC version is a free download incidentally).

Crusoe Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 On the same tangent, I'm still waiting for some kind of Panzer General clone for the iPhone. Definite lack of wargames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
