A game mode which serves as an inbetween between Foggy and Sunny games
Specifics/Details:
Players will be able to see troop numbers on all opposing territories and neutrals as well, but they will be shown colorless
Teammates territories will be in color
I don't know whether or not I'd like adjacent territories to be shown in color, but I guess the logical thing to do (since the current Foggy setting does it) is to display them in color as well
When conquering a territory, the game log will reveal who it was conquered from
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
This will make for some interesting games, especially in assassin mode
It could make for a good introduction for new players to the fully fogged mode

For deployment, I would think it would say "Player deployed X troops on ?"
For conquering a territory, if the adjacent ones are also colorless, it could say "conquered ? from ?"
If the adjacent ones are not color less, it could say "conquered [territoriy] from [player]" for the person that actually conquered it and "conquered ? from ?" for everyone else.

I doubt that this suggestion is really going to happen. But... not showing in the log how many troops are deployed on a territ could make a fog game nicer.

Could you imagine if bonuses weren't shown either?

Shouldn't make more sense to see the colour but not the number? Think about real life. In a war, you know a certain province is controlled by a particular faction, but don't know how many troops they have there.

What about a combination of these ideas. Adjacent territories is fully visible, territories touching those are colored and any other territories are colorless and ?

but i do like the idea that i quoted.
Oliver's suggestion is what I would like to see. Rover's 2 territories out thing would be cool as well. Question, though. What about bombardment territories? would you be able to see the territory attacked by a territory you could bombard? Just curious.

I would think bombardments would be colored and ?- cause you never really know what youre bombarding youre just shooting shells and hoping for the best. And as for the game log, i dont think it should show up.

We're talking about a game, not real life.
Yeah, but its cool to use concepts for real life in a game, make things a little realistic. Just ideas being thrown around of how we could do this or make it better.

In my opinion, and that's just my opinion, wargames are much better and a lot more enjoyable when they simulate the real life. After all, if you are not simulating real life, why give your game real life names?

I think that the two territories layer is an even better idea So it would be: - Territories adjacent to owned ones are fully visible. - Territories at distance 2 from owned territories show the "?" with the owner colour. - Territories at distance 3 or higher show the "?" in white.
I think that bombardment adjacencies should give you full visibility. Otherwise very few people would bother at bombarding a territory they don't know how many armies are there.

Lol, that would not be Semi-Fog, that would be total FOG. BOB would still tell the bonuses won't he?

I think this idea should be the regular fog, and semi-fog be this to a smaller effect.

Ya, it's a setting that to many people are to fond of in it's current setting. Including yours truly
