Well

I think this would be a divided topic at best. While many people I'm sure do dislike the Fog of war, some of us enjoy it. It allows a extra purpose for diplomats, spies, and princesses(Who become useless after turn 15 anyway other then exploring.

Getting map information makes sense to me such as somene selling you thier maps. However having some idea what goes on 300 miles away with no news source, no informant or army thier and no global communications to speak of seems kind of silly to me.

CA seems to like fog of war, so I assume it will stay in some fashion.
