Show Territories Lost in Battle Log in Fog of War. It would be nice to know what territories lost from previous turn at least in the battle log. :)

You can see them if they are truly taken from you but your enemy can only see a ?

errrr i think you got it backwards...

when someone attacks you, you don't know what they attacked...sgt. extreme is suggesting that it tells you what you lost to another player. of course, if that happened, it wouldn't be real fog anymore. it would be semi-fog.

and anyway, this has been suggested many times before...

The closest thing available, right now, is Bob. You can find it in the Plugins& addons sub-forum. The snapshots option can be used for that.

I use Bob, but not for that.

I honestly have no trouble tracking what I've lost in multiple fog games, on varying maps. There are several ways to do so... BOB at one end, all the way down to simply WRITING DOWN what's where. My solution is somewhere between the two.

You could try dumping the contents of the screen to your printer, then refer to the hardcopy when the game comes up again. ;)

Take digital camera pictures of the screen?

Oil Paintings of the map at the end of each turn? ...Okay, sorry, that was overly sarcastic.


Seriously, though... this feature is a part of the "fog of war". I prefer to adapt to the mode of play, rather than insist it adapt to my unwillingness to do a bit of work to figure out what's missing.

But it doesn't seem logical to me that it IS part of the "fog of war". If I'm attacked in war, I'll generally have an idea who did so and with what.
