Hi Simon,

I've been thinking about this a bit. I would like to add levels of fog to
what empires can see about each other. My current plan is to add them as
Game Options where you can select the level of detail you can see about
other empires. Anything not seen could be found out through Intelligence
Projects.

If you guys can come up with a list of the levels you're interested in (if
different from what's listed below), then email them to me so I can
include them.

Aaron
