    • It is quite simple when I explain it this way:


      Units can SEE, and they have a range of vision. Both a clear view and a fuzzy view radius. Each unit has a different sight range.

      Provinces that you own will DISPLAY what is within them ONLY. Nothing outside the border of your province is displayed by the province. This works the same on Land or at Sea. Empty provinces have no means of seeing what is outside the border. I'll note here that disembarking units are outside the province until they are fully disembarked and move inside the province.




      Perhaps this will show how unit sight works. With this submarine you can see the difference in shading between the clear view radius and the fuzzy view radius past that. Units that are in fuzzy view will typically only display as a shadow with a ? instead of a number.






      One player compiled a list of the unit sight ranges, you can see it here:
