Turns of Role Play 2: Second Thread

RP2 2126 to Chairman Flubber.

Yes, fog of war makes it very hard to know what has been explored. It does seem that Unity Survey is on, though.

actually, when I played this turn the fog of war was on when I started and you CAN tell explored from unexplored-- just looking in the main view you can see terrain attributes (rockiness and raininess) of the explored areas but not of the unexplored

Hydro, does Unity Survey on mean that if the fog is off we can see everything? That would not be good.

I would prefer Survey off and Fog of War off. If we can't do both maybe we should just carry on as is.

Survey on only means that you can see land mass and ocean, the way we do now. Flubber is correct in that you can tell unexplored land squares from explored ones by their terrain features, however it is impossible to tell unexplored ocean squares from their explored counterparts. So although I usually prefer fog of war on, I do not when the survey is on.

[Flubber]

Thanks tau-- I was not aware of that fact with the ocan squares . . . probably because I rarely play with survey on.

The "fog of war" should not be an issue since it is readily apparent and each of us can toggle it to our preferred view. The ones that bug me are when my land unit unexpectedly stops at monolith or when a chopper starts moving automatically due to some out of fuel setting(since i don't always think to check these.)

and Redfred as far as I know, the "fog" feature works in the same fashion whether UNity Survey is on or off in that all areas currently in view of an unit or sensor are slightly brighter than areas explored but not currently in view. The Unity survey only makes a difference WRT unexplored areas in that with the survey on you can see all the landmasses but no details of the squares as opposed to the total blackness we are accustomed to seeing.

Don't you just hate it when you pop a pod & the resultant earthquake turns a fjord into a lagoon trapping your foil & rendering it fit for scrap only?

I know I do.

At least you had a foil to lose...
