I still think this would be a good and cool idea to implement. It would also make ranked and tournament games more exciting, since players are more in complete unknown and have to get their bearings, including having to figure out which direction opponents are in and where map features are (rivers, resources, etc. of known maps). They’d have to consider a 360-degree radius for exploration at the start
