On the big maps it can be surprisingly effective.

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 :D

Great updates lack! =D>

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...

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30643

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 :D ,

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 :D

Your my inspiration, lacky :lol:

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)?
I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

updates

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.

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

Good work all.

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:)

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

lackattack wrote: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!
