ScoutingĮvery race has a Scout Unit coming from its culture. You can rotate the camera to appreciate the surroundings. A number of upgrades improve the range of this ability. This allows you to sense enemy presence into the fog, and acts as an early warning system. Sensor Range from Planetfall makes a return, as Remote Sensing. Some Units have Camouflage abilities allowing them to hide in particular terrain features. If explored hexagons exit the vision range of your units or structures, then they become part of the fog of war meaning you can’t track enemy armies. The units you send out explore this terrain, revealing terrain features and the presence of settlements and armies. We rendered silhouettes of terrain features into the mist so you have some rough awareness of the lay of the land. Unexplored Terrain is covered in animated mists that swirl around mountain tops. Scouting is more important than ever due to the large variety of Realms you venture to (see previous Dev Diary) and the decisions you make in the early game will have a big effect on the development of your empire.
Today we’ll be looking at the early game exploration and “player versus environment” phase, where you'll get your bearings using your scouts, identify allies and threats, while looking for opportunities in the mythic lands around you. Hello there and welcome to a new Development Journal! My name is Lennart, Game Director for Age of Wonders 4.
