I always felt that way about Total Annihilation.
Quoting myself because no one replies whether any changes are coming with Radar. If it weren’t for this, I would likely be playing this over Supcom.
I found this post on the steam forums - about removing Fog of War. This was back in April. Brad replied he would have the team look into it.
What is the status of this? Removing fog of war, and having ability to see all the units would make me very happy.
The DLC for Ashes and GalCiv3 are on sale at Gamersgate but sadly the store seems to be missing most of the recent pieces.
Fornthis game I love the way fog of war is handled, but I can see why for some just doing away with fog of war in options would be nice.

Oh man, I was so confused. I’ve been playing Path of Exile a lot lately and that third screenshot threw me for a loop. I thought I was on the wrong article and was looking at the PoE Passive skill web.
For reference, for those who haven’t played PoE:
An update (v1.32) went out today with some fixes. :)
- Improved the “game speed” functionality to prevent inconsistent gameplay behaviours in the campaign and skirmishes.
- All weapon modules now start with cooldown at 0. This means all weapons will fire immediately after being built.
- Players will no longer be able to build any unit by selecting another building and (very quickly) pressing the previous factory’s hotkey.
- Aircraft no longer stop moving when issued a stop command. This addresses an exploit in which a player spams stop and gets the aircraft to hover over a target.
- Fixed a GWG issue that caused flashing lights and white circles to appear around buildings
- Optimized shaders to improve performance.
- Updated Computronium (resource lines) appearance to blend better with the environment.
Also, looks like this is on a weeklong 50% sale on Steam. . .
Brad put up a new dev journal for October which gives a bit of info about the next update and what’s been going on with Ashes. :)
Guys! November 3! It’s happening! /ronpaul
I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m pretty stoked to see what people think of the new campaign(s) in Escalation.
Here’s some exclusive footage of Escalation. :)

Hi all.
and
I’ve posted up a fact sheet of Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation along with a FAQ.
Here’s the full thing: http://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/480253
I’m hoping that anyone who’s been wanting to get into a really massive-scale RTS is going to like Escalation. Adding a Sins of a Solar Empire like strategic zoom has been a game changer to how the game is played.
Escalation ships late next week. :-D
That’s looking awfully nice!
Hellooooooooo Nurse!
That zoomed out shot looks particularly awesome. Pushes a lot of my favorite buttons :)
Because I’m dumb - how does buying “Escalation” work for those of us that have Ashes? Does Steam automatically know those of us that have the original and adjusts the price accordingly? The pre-order is listed as $19.99 for me. Is that right? After looking at the mini-spreadsheet decided I had to buy.
Yes, that is the discount price. :)
