They are actually the same thing, both come from the map_fog file, in the american campaign the cities are revealed via the script so you get a faction specific "map" of sorts, its kind of similar to what was in EB except there spies were spawned and then killed at the start to reveal aras of the map.

If it were to be incorparated into EBII I imagine something similar could be done.
