Heh, I press the "½" or "§"(if you press shift) key. I guess it's different on different contries keyboards ey?

I always turn off both FOW and AI movement. FOW feels totally out of place for me in a Total War game. No problem for C&C but it doesn't work here. If I let AI movement on (never did that in EB), I would probably go cook, have dinner, take some air and return just to find the AI turn half finished.

I usually turn it off for a few minutes at the end of each year or so. I then browse around the map while checking the faction statistic graphs and see how each faction is doing. Quite fun. I sometime find myself rooting for certain factions in wars that don't at all effect me (usually the underdog).

I've been playing TW games since Shogun & only ever tried turning off FoW for EB 1.0 & I've only done it a couple of times just to see how the AI factions are progressing.

I periodically send spies out to see whats going on around the known world & use a combo of watchtowers & spies to keep an eye on my own & neighbours territories.

Historically a lot of peoples knowledge of the state of the world consisted mostly of outdated & often at least 3rd party rumors until relatively recently so why should you be able to have up to the minute info on Carthage when you are Bactria in 200BC?

I'm having the same problem, not beeing able to activate the chatscreen. None of the buttons listed in this thread seems to do the trick.

Anny ideas? It's becoming high time for a little Toggle_fow inspection, cause those pesky yellow dudes are about to overrun AS and I really need to give the AS some money.
