    Wink EB 0.81a campaign map...

    Hi,
    When I played EB 0.80, I was able to view the enemy units composition in their cities, armies... Since upgrading to EB 0.81a everything works fine, except when I click on the enemy armies or cities; now I get the "?" symbol in the "box". I know it makes it more "realistic" to have to send a spy near in order to view the images, but... I don't want to - I liked being able to see my "neighbors" buildings and units; just for the "art" of it. Is there something I can do to turn this "view" back on ?
    I'll appreciate any help

    You can use the console command "toggle_fow" to reveal the map.

    It's because the "Perfect Spy" line in the campaign script was removed (intentionally).

    ... and you can change that back by going to this file:

    your install folder\eb\data\scripts\show_me\EBBS_SCRIPT.TXT and remove the ; in front of this line

    console_command toggle_perfect_spy.

    Make a backup in case you make a mistake.

    Removing the ";" from that line worked just right -Would that have worked from the "~" command line ?

    Thank you Oleo !

    perfect spy can't be used in the command console, only in scripts. I believe.
