How this system affects decisions
Information and access are strategic resources: scouting reveals where to defend or attack, while terrain and line of sight affect which routes and targets can be reached safely. Use the mechanic together with the map layout rather than treating it as an isolated statistic.
How to use this reference
Open editor panels directly with keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+M for Map, Ctrl+T for Terrain, Ctrl+P for Players, Ctrl+U for Units, Ctrl+D for Diplomacy, Ctrl+V for Victory, Ctrl+O for Options, Ctrl+W for Messages, Ctrl+C for Cinematics, and Ctrl+R for Triggers. Before the match, confirm which objective is enabled and whether it can end the game by itself. That changes what must be defended and which enemy target deserves priority.
