Hello,

Here's how the map icons level is supposed to work from the manual:

quote:

- �All in Sight� The Map will display all friendly units and
enemy units visible to your units.

What I see in game is that I can see every friendly and enemy units visible from my commander only (Napoelon in Ligny, the scenario I'm using to test this)

What I'd like is a setting where all my units are visible on the map + every enemy unit that my units can see. I don't find a setting which works like this. "all in sights / in 1.000 yards / in 700 yards" works from the point of view of my commander (so a very small proportion of the field of battle when you're playing an army). "all units", I can see every friendly unit + every enemy units. So no FoW at all.

Am I missing something ? I'm using expanded toolbar VII, no other mod.

You have couriers enabled. That's why. You can either disable the couriers and you will get the map view you want with either "all in 700 yards" or "all in 1000 yards", or leave the couriers enabled with the understanding that you are essentially playing as Napoleon with these settings and so the map will only reflect what Napoleon can see within those distances.

Hmmm, one more strange glitch... "all in 1.000 yards" works as intended. I can see every friendly unit + all enemy unit in max 1.000 yards from one of my unit. But "all in 700 yards" only show me every friendly or enemy unit in a 700 yards radius from my commander

Did you disable the couriers when checking both distances?

Thanks, makes more sense now !

But I found that I can have the "1.000 yards" + "courrier at brigade level" both activated and still see every friendly unit... Only happens with 1.000 yards, not 700 yards. Maybe a bug then.

Nevermind. Mine works that way to on 700 yards. Must be the way it is. Just use all in 1000 yards.

Yep, not perfect, but nearly what I was searching for. We'll see if a developer can confirm if this is working as intented. Thanks for your help !
