Fog of war settings and the role of spies

[Rodak Polak 584]

Before starting the game, there should be an option to select fog of war settings:

• the slightest fog of war - near the border provinces we see the enemy army, both the number and type of units
• moderate fog of war - near the border provinces we see the enemy army but only number of army. And we dont see type of units
• heavy fog of war - near the border provinces we see the enemy army but without any details. We do not know how many this army is or what units it consists of

Role of spies - sending a spy allows us to see all the details of the enemy army over the entire surface of the enemy country

THE FOG OF WAR SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO TURNED OFF COMPLETELY BECAUSE THEN SPIES WOULD BECOME USELESS

I like this, but heavy fog of war would be even more more enjoyable if you just couldn't see any army details until you're right next to them. You're right in that the more you can see, the less useful spies are. Heavy fog of war that blocks all army details would probably make for a fun game, giving spies a more central role than they otherwise would

Fog of war should only be turned off for spectator mode, or as a cheat command in console if some ppl want to play without it
