Changing the Fog of War Setting
The mod allows changing the FoW with a simple text file edit. There are four possible settings:

1: Normal rules of visibility, Fog of War

2: Remove Fog of War on Land tiles

3: Remove Fog of War on all tiles, but submarines will still be invisible

4: Completely remove Fog of War for all tiles, all units


By default, the mod uses option #2.


To change this selection, you'll need to edit the globals file in the mod. It is located at:

C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\SMAN's World at War Scenario - The War in Europe (WW2) (v 2)

Where 'XXXX' is the folder name that you installed the game in.


You need to navigate further down -> first to the 'LUA' folder, then the 'SME' folder, and finally into the 'Scenario Specific Files'.

The file you're looking for is called '090_ScenarioGlobals.lua'


The full path to this folder is:

C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\SMAN's World at War Scenario - The War in Europe (WW2) (v 1)\LUA\SME\Scenario Specific Files


Open this file with any text editor. The line that needs changing is line # 51. It looks like this:

g_iFogOfWarSensitivity = 2 -- Select FoW sensitivity


Change the value of '2' to any integer, ranging from 1 to 4. If you use any other number, or leave it blank, or even delete the line, the mod will use the game's default Fog of War setting.
