reavealed units/buildings?

i remember that in .81x, i could see the exact units & stats and buildings of any faction, no matter how far away and i didnt need a spy.
but now, i actually have to send in a spy, which doesnt always work, to do basic things like find out which units thre are in enemy cities!
i would be fine with this if i wasnt doing an AAR, but i am, and it makes things so much harder when i have to actually send a spy in.
so, does anyone have a way to see everything, as i could in .81x?

have to activate perfect_spy. You can find it at the beginning of the EBBS. Its commented out, so just delete the ";" and next time you run the script it will fire.

so as soon as i activate it i can see everything? will i have to restart my campaign?

No, its in the EBBS script which is refired everytime you load a game.

And you need to type toggle_fow for it to work - everywhere, that is.
