Just what's on the screen. If you zoom back in or move anything, it disappears.

It's an undocumented feature. And a good one at that. It allows you to make sure that the game will even be playable, i.e. you aren't completely surrounded by jungles or mountains.

Good find !

... but if you're saving after one turn and reloading, why not go the whole hog: retire and see the whole map that way !

I've noticed other wierd graphics, especially with navy ships, on the patched version. Sometimes the screen will paint a large block rather than the notmal fogged view - only happens with the patch.

I imagine this was part of the Nvidia "fix"... though your problem may be different.

Venger, what do you mean by "large block"? Do you mean lots of tiles or what?

I did report this in the official bug list. It happens everytime you load a map that doesn't reach the edges of the FOW while zoomed out. You get to see the old map without FOW until you move.
