War Fog

[seraphesy]

Blind Map option which lets you see ONLY the # of troops in the adjacent country?

I played with this setting at DominateWorld thing... it was fun.

id guess id be kool but i dont like it i dont support it but id be kool i guess

[lackattack]

I think it's a cool idea
I put it on my to-do list as "war fog"

[nascarfan38124]

this reminds me of "fog of war" in advanced wars on gba and ds

i personaly didnt like it in that game and will probably never play it in this game but it is a good idea

[AndyDufresne]

You sure like to traul up old posts! As lack noted, it is on his To-Do List.

Will the greasemonkey script get the numbers of troops you see or the whole thing?

[Tr0y]

Most likely just the # of troops you see.

[reverend_kyle]

I dont understand this could someone go into further detail?

[Tr0y]

War Fog.

You will only see troops adjacent to yours. All other troops will be invisible to you.

[reverend_kyle]

so if the majority of my troops were in north america and south america then I would see very little of asia basically?

[Jgood]

Yes, so you need to spead out other troop to see the world.
You could also amass a huge amount of your own troops, and hide them behind a wall of smaller troops, this would be a very interesting game!

[Phobia]

Yes, on DominateGame, I often amass my armies in australia, then without people noticing i take asia. this would be insane on a map every1 can see, but no one has an idea whats going in asia so im getting 7 armies per turn for nothing

[gavin_sidhu]

If this were to be implemented i think that it should only be after greecemonkey is on the whole server and the number of reinforcements everyone is getting is known.

[AndyDufresne]

The only 'greasemonkey-esque' updates planned are card counts, sortable list columns, and status indicators. The 'strength' factors, and how many armies a player is getting per turn will have to be calculated by the user, or of course you can use the greasemonkey for that feature.

+1 this idea. There's an old PBEM game called Medieval War I used to play that had this, and it was great.

[sully800]

Wait, would the game log info still be available? Like how many troops a person is deploying or fortifying in an area that you can't see?

If not, what would the log display?

[wcaclimbing]

it could say "5 troops deployed on kamchatka"
it just wouldnt show who deployed them.
the game log could just leave out all names, but leave everything else

[x]

You would know who deployed them because you would know what order the other players took their turns in.

I think the game log should be invisible too, or customized to the player, but that's probably too much work.

[nascarfan38124]

it should say "so and so recieves # armies"
and then "so and so deployed # armies"

[Pacifist]

Maybe it could just say the countries in alphabetical order, rather than in the actual order

[Heimdall]

This is a great idea. You wouldn't be able see to anything beyond your front lines. Makes it more realistic.

I also thought that any territories that have a massive build-up of armies could also show-up on the map for all to see (sorry don't want to complicate this any further, just a suggestion).

[Backglass]

after greecemonkey is on the whole server

What does this mean? Greasemonkey is a firefox scripting engine.

Unless "greecemonkey" has something to do with Gyros. mmmmm.

[joeyjordison]

if greesemonkey counts the armies deployed then u would still know ur oponent's force and it could b calculated using the log unless there is an option for a log that only shows the player wat is deployed where they can see it? complicated but that would b the ultimate fog of war
