Build 0.854 Mechanic Rework: Fog
After much feedback, we have decided to rework the fog weather effect. While we are generally happy with the weather system, in how it affects the player's defenses and decision-making, we have agreed with the playerbase that fog offers little in terms of counterplay compared to rain and monsoon.
To this end, we wanted to further emphasize that fog obscures vision, creating disorientation amongst soldiers. Fog now further decreases soldier's sight ranges, but enemy support units will attempt to advance forward. This will prevent the build up of large concentrations of enemy support units in the rear lines, giving shorter range weapons and mines a greater role in the player's defenses.
