[23-Oct-2007] Fog of war

[Iliad]

Awesome!

[Elwar]

does anyone else find it funny that people are playing 1v1 games with fog of war? I think it is funny.

On the big maps it can be surprisingly effective.

[Shai]

Wow lack, this site just keeps getting better
How about adding a link to a divorce lawyer?

[Iliad]

Next Battle Royale should be in Fog of War so badly!

Never posted before, but I just wanted to say that this latest update has been excellent! It's been bugging me for ages why there can't just be some way of telling which games you need to get a move on with, eg by putting the time remaining on the front page, rather than having to click into every one! And I'll have to have a look at that Fog of War type too!

I think it's excellent that you've adjusted the speed games so soon as well.... it's obvious that you're listening to people and taking action. (Unlike in my other favourite game )

Thanks so much

Yup, since going premium I might need one too

BTW, great work, keep it up!!!

Great updates lack!

One thought I had is that new players may be confused by the fog of war if they join a game unsuspectingly, so I have made a suggestion in the suggestion forums for people to discuss possible ways of protecting them...

Thinking particularly of those familiar with risk who join the site, play a FoW game, dislike it and think every game is like that and leave/deadbeat.

Hey lacky ,

Thanks for the update. Been waitin for this for quiet sometimes now. I mean the "time remaining" features. In fact i did suggest this sometimes back in April and i'm glad that this is finally happening. Making your navigation throughout the game even smoother..

Congrats on the job

Your my inspiration, lacky

Congratulations Lack on a great update. This site just goes from strength to strength.

[Iliad]

I love how after each update you wonder how the hell did you manage without it. Thanks a bunch lack!

[borox0]

Good update but I just sent a refer-a-friend who joined, will it automatically be put into the new thing (if he gets premium i into the draw)?

[Minister Masket]

Wonderful. Keep up the impressive work humans!

[daveygodfrey]

Thanks for the update, but on the firefox, with colourblind on in the fog of war. the country has "undefined?". in IE it just has "?" which is fine but it's hard to see in firefox what the countries that i should be able to see actually has.

Nice work apart from that.

[Rictus]

Really brilliant update - the front page changes are particularly impressive/useful. Fog of war sounds like a fascinating addition too...

Good work all.

[hlubik]

i was thinking about buying premium for some time and after this update i bought it finally..

..fog of war will be great on big maps such as world 2.1 (or is it 2.0?) - no more 5v1 when you grow too big:)

[fireheart]

I like the updates! Thanks guys. I'm interested in trying the fog games!

[BrutalBob]

Cant wait to try FoW. Great idea.

And thanks for fixing the auto refresh stuffing up your combo selection thingy. I thought it was a firefox thing. Man that annoyed!me!My poor abused mouse thanks you too. No more smashing you into the table little buddy, we can again be friends.

[Rocketry]

pfft Fog of War? Thats nothing!! Check the My Settings page. No more annoying PMs from admin saying that your speed game has started!

Great Updates ------ Tanks

And here's a chilled GreyGoose Martini, extra dry for Lack to relax and take a break.

[Steelhorse]

Awesome job, Lack.

[bringiton4]

Just wanted to mention that it says "undefined" in firefox on all countries you can't see on Fog of War - gets somewhat cluttered.

Anyway to fix that?

Otherwise, great update

[jennifermarie]

all i can say is "wow!"

[gimil]

rather suprising update, Very close to the last one. Never the less congrratz onthe fab update.

While I can see the country it doesn't say the name.

Fog Of War
According to Wikipedia, the fog of war is a term used to describe the level of ambiguity in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. Now you can turn up the ambiguity in your Conquer Club games with this radical new game option! The fog of war masks enemy positions that are not adjacent to your forces (or your team's forces). It also masks territory and continent names in the log. Originally suggested by seraphesy back in Jan 2006. Enjoy!
