How does the concealed unit feature work in terms of what's visible on the battlemap and the playing field? (for multiplayer battles)

1. Can the enemy see concealed units (invisible on his battlemap) on the playing field by flying the unrestricted camera into the area?

2. Can spotted units reconceal themselves by getting out of the enemies line of sight?
and if so, can the enemy still see them on the playing field by flying the camera into the area?

3. Is there any difference between concealing a unit in trees and concealing a unit behind a hill?

4. How can you tell when your unit is invisible to the enemy? Are there any other indicators beside the tree concealment icon??

1. No, they have to get them in a UNITS line of site. But if you move them they can be spotted

2.Yes, if they are spotted they can run AND hold still

3.You'd have to ask someone else

4.If it has the tree concealment icon they are concealed no matter what

Concealment means your men are hidden - thus they must have a certain amount of cover. With unrestricted camera- a unit behind a hill is visible. Line of site is not required to see a unit with UC - only lack of cover.
Qapla!
