Game Groups > Gameplay feature: Fog of war

Fog of War, mostly found in strategy games, obscures already explored areas of the map which are not within the line of sight of any of the player's units or structures. Terrain features are still displayed but non-player units are not, and non-player structures are only displayed if they were present when the area was explored by the player.

Limitations:

• This group does not cover games where the obscured area remains fully visible to the player once it was explored once (known as shroud). Example: Command & Conquer.
