I played my first game last night, and in my eyes; thé difference in fog of war, or no fog of war is to smal.
I believe i had line of sight, and in practice i don’t… units are standing there in thé FoW, so i think i see thé area, and see no units passing…
I play on a laptop with a 3050tiM, so it’s thé mobile version of it. And it means that i play thé game on low settings. And maybe that is why that there is almost no difference.
But it hard toe play like that
Is there something i can do about it myself?
It is this really how thé game is intended tot be…
I really noticed this issue in the “Strangers” mission where your units have a very small LoS.
It was really hard to tell what is fog of war and what isn’t with the dark colours of the map.
And I run the game on an extremely high contrast QD-OLED monitor.
Maybe there should be a sepia filter or something like that that makes the fog of war not just darker but generally more washed out.
I wonder if it’s hardware/driver related, cause i Cant find allot of persons who have this problem…

I don’t think it’s a graphical issue it’s more likely an issue with your monitor and how much contrast it has.
In the end it’s also always subjective.
Even if i don’t have this problem with other RTS games?
AoE 2 & 4, CoH3, SC2 don’t have this problem for me…
AoE2DE is a 2D game with very basic lighting.
AoE4 has very strong fog of war.
CoH3 and SC2 are also very different games.
AoMR has less of an obvious fog of war compared to all of those other games.
AoE3DE might be comparable.
I like thé strong fog of war, then it’s obvious.
Will install aoe3 again this evening or tomorrow to check it.
I don’t Remember it annymore how it was.
