Of course, you can only do that at this point through the editor, and only from the beginning, by establishing it as part of a scenario.

No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful. -

Does he know what units are in transports? If this is true I could put a ton of transports and ships near his sea border he'll think I'm attacking even if no one is in the transports. It would be a decoy. If it was a better AI he'd send his forces to where the transports were right along his coast, then I'd send in transports from farther away and land on lightly defended land. But of course the AI doesn't really concentrate forces anywhere. He just has 2 or 3 units per city. I hope they change this in civ4."The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques RousseauComment

hi ,
it seems not , .....
2-3 units a city is good , as long as you keep several mobile groups around and support units , like carriers and bombers with some artillery , ......

Nope. Just edit the graphics files containing the fog of war and unexplored overlays. The game draws the entire map without those, then draws those on top.Originally posted by The Mad Monk

Thank you for the discussion.
But does the AI get an update (during a ROP) of the changes my workers made during the last turn without exploring my terrain?
I have to do it!Comment

No, Georges. The ROP doesn't update map info on its own, and I haven't seen an AI 'scouting' my terrain.
(thanks for reminding everybody what the actual question was)
On general AI map knowledge - it knows where all the units, cities, resources and barbarians are, but not goody huts. Despite this, it still has its own 'darkness' map and will pay for new terrain uncovered or terrain improvements.
The AI's barb knowledge is useful. Trade for anyone's worldmap and you'll see the barb huts. This saves fruitless trecking, and if serious barb farming is employed, good coin can be earned by quickly popping a barb, then withdrawing and waiting for a new camp. Not having to search means more popping and more cash.Comment
