LOS stat

Post by Wargamer74 »

I was reading another thread that mentioned the LOS stat can't be easily shown in the UI. It does make it confusing if the enemy can see you, I don't know how difficult it would be to code in but one idea is to place an icon over units that are not visible. This is from another game that also uses the unity engine, the icon appears when your units are hidden by fog of war or cover from terrain. Anyway it's just a suggestion to make the UI a bit more transparent.

LOS stat doesn't tell you how many tiles you see, it's more more complicated, hence it's not useful to have it part of UI. See this discussion for more details.

I'd rather not have any indication of which of my units that cannot be seen by the enemy.
You should never be 100% confident. It is part of the FOW.
