Fog of War is a term used to describe areas not visible to a player, as well as that player's units and buildings.
Fog state for a given area is subjective, relative to the player.
States of Fog[]
There are three "states" of fog:
- Clear
- Everything in a clear region is visible to the player, player's ally, unit, and buildings.
- Dim
- Buildings and units are visible but not currently visible, as these may change.
- Ex. A fortress may be spotted with 1000 health in dim vision from a previous recon. It may be gone when you next scout it.
- Buildings and units are visible but not currently visible, as these may change.
- Dark
- Nothing in a region of dark can actually be seen. Something may appear out of the dark but the player may never know unless the region is scouted.
