Yes but it would be inlogical and not Noob-friendly,

Noobs aren't stupid, they know to scout parts of the map they can't see.

But if it's going to be a map people have played before, it really doesn't add much to the game besides another layer of tedium. I remember all those unexplored games from TA - "I want to build on this spot that I know is there, but I have to send a scout first." Kind of pointless. Plus, considering how on most maps, far more than the terrain, the civilians/reclaim is the most important thing, all maps sort of start out 'unexplored' already.

I meant that with the mix of duck_42 random map generator so old timers don't actually know the maps

Yes but it would be inlogical and not Noob-friendly, I mean come on, we still don't scan a planet before war in the year 3633?

Well my second suggestion is not that essesntial but I still think, your ally could be caught by surprise, so no
it is essential, not only for alertness but also when to attack. Anyway it would be an option.

But I think it's important to be able to play in unexplored maps, so this is where I want to focus your attention.

I remember for the unit sharing, it was rather dumb to do it manually, because it's not because you forgot to give before your death that your team should loose... And anyways there was a mod to auto share at your death.

Fog of war and unit sharing

I don't know if these topics have already been discussed, or if What I suggest is feasible , but

1. I would like to see old fog of war with the map not explored as an option. I believe it would add new depth to the game and very fun situations, for those willing
to experiment and know how to enjoy.
2. I would like to see the old unit sharing brought back, ie share until death except if your ally manages to transfer his/her assets before death. This, as an option of course.

thank you!
