Whoops, there goes the fog of war

Never recall having read about this: You guys ever notice that when you go into the 'create satellite' menu, and then select a would-be new nation... and suddenly you can see all the units everywhere in the world!

I've always played with the FoW permanently in the 'on' position (because face it, anything else is devastatingly cheesy), so this was quite a shock to me. Now how in the heck am I going to resist the temptation to look, before I start a new offensive?

That isn't supposed to happen. Normally, when you press create satellite it just shows where the nation would go, so to speak. Never military.

I can see the whole world, man! Every unit, it's name & type, strength level & morale, leader, etc.! As soon as I exit the satellite menu, though-- it goes back to normal.

It going to be hard to resist using this. Granted I could just turn FoW off... but no, I won't let myself. Yet... now I have a backdoor method to get all the military intelligence info!!
