radar without radar?

Post by FrancoisPhilidor »

Has anybody encountered this problem before?

You can see enemy units in a certain area as if you had radar, even though you have no unit near with that ability?
Second time this is happening to me

Maybe it’s a script to reveal enemy units ?

What scenario is this ?

Oh no, it's definitely some bug.
It happened on one of my own maps, and also on Erik's race for Tunis

This is an easy script to do and it has been used to improve the opponent’s AI in some dlc

This can be done by using the effect "Reveal Aera".

this is interesting.
but why is it happening on maps where it's not supposed to happen?
And it doesn't really reveal it. It just appears as if through radar

That's my own scenario.
And the same thing happens in other scenarios sometimes.
I reinstalled the game recently, so..

Well, e.g. these two.
But you'd have to play through them to see it. Can't ask that of you.
But one thing is certain. There is not supposed to be any reveal map trigger.
