Will this window be visible on the final version.
A lot of information are going through this box, like unit movement, units upgrading, etc... Some players might take advantage of it.

I really like this info box because it gives a general idea of what is going on, as opposed to most games where we spend our time watching the hourglass and wondering what is happening. Plus it shows a peak of how much effort Hubert has put into the turn sequence and resolution for the computer opponent.
Some players might take advantage of it.

I didn't think of this, and maybe I'm not typical, but I've been watching it since we first started BETA and I haven't noticed anything that I think would give me an unfair advantage. Maybe I miss the point ?

I agree. I also like it. It gives me an idea of how much longer I have to wait until AI is done, while tabbing in and out of game. I never got any info that I could take advantage of in the game though :/

For this one, under FoW, the AI shouldn't really be revealing all the information... if I remember correctly it bases the info on whether you can see the start and end positions for its movement, and hidden units should not be reporting etc.

If this is not the case let me know,
