Fog of war disappears immediately but appears slowly

[Jens Beyer]

This idea came to me when thinking about another fog of war topic ;-)

I like the very slow smooth appearing of the fog of war.
But when something gets visible, it appears within a nanosecond.

It would be a little eye candy, and I guess not too hard to implement, to make it appear a little smoother than immediately, let's say within a second?

Yes I like this idea as well. But I think it is only suited for when a military site gets occupied. For moving units, for instance, it might feel weird.
While we're on it, it might be interesting to investigate how land height can influence the sight, and how feasible this is. I mean, maybe the vision could be not revealed behind a mountain or deep forests, while having a tower on the top of that mountain reveals land further away.

I think the fog of war should disappear immediately. It would be very annoying if you are right there when a new militarysite is conquered and you had to wait a few seconds till you can actually react on the information that you should have now.

So I am for Won't fix.
