Fog of War against AI

[worr]

Is it supposed to turn itself off each turn?

I set it up for fog of war for everyone and by the next turn the AI has the benefit of no fog of war.

Is there a work around for this?

I believe the AI is programmed to ignore FoW. Its hard enough to make an even remotely usefull AI as it is so I expect that FoW was skipped. A reasonable decision I believe.

OK, but they never said so in the rules.

I've seen AIs do a good opposition without cheating.

I think we mentioned it in the Official Rules Clarifications & Changes thread and the patch readme. The AI ignores FOW. The AI needs to be able to plot moves and take them back, so it became impossible to have it play with FOW.

Thanks, Joel I haven't been reading the threads in here too much...so I missed that...and might have skipped over it in the readme.

Too bad, really. I would be a better game without it...but such is the way of software!
