Staff/leader and FOW

Post by Gribeauval »

The headquarters units can't be seen by the opposite player, because of FOW.
But, the name of the leader appears on the map, it is not hidden. You can see at the bottom of the hexagon the name of the enemy commander( example "Beauregard").
Is this intentional ?

Would you mind posting a screenshot? We may have introduced a bug for this when I updated the font routines.

I'm really sorry, Eric, but I don't even know how to take a screenshot in the game ...
I can say that it happens with v106beta ( in the starter scenario, in the Wilson Creek historical scenario with every enemy leaders).

I have compressed a saved game.
The enemy general Stuart is in hex (112,122) near Fort Magruder.
His headquarter is hidden, but the name of the general can be seen on the map.
When you mouse over the hexagon, you can also read that a staff and escort unit is present in the hex.

I hope that it will help you.

In case you need to do so in the future, screenshots are pretty easy to make. You can download various shareware programs (or pay for one), but the simplest thing to do is hit SHIFT+PRINTSCREEN, which copies whatever is on your screen, and then go into the free Paint program that comes with most (or all?) Windows systems and hit "paste." Then just save the file as a JPEG (since the Matrix system allows JPEGs but not TIFFs, etc.
Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I torment eager potential customers by not sharing screenshots of "Brother Against Brother." Everyone has a talent.
