| Default: | yes |
| Applicable to: | MultiplayerDialogSettings |
Specifies whether the map is initially filled with shroud. If set to no, all areas are initially revealed.
Notes
According to the rules under ShroudGrow=yes, when Shroud=no, the shroud will grow from the map boundaries at intervals controlled by ShroudRate.
Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations
However, Shroud=no is more akin to inverting the revealed and shrouded areas. For instance, a weapon with RevealOnFire=yes will fill the surrounding area with shroud each time it fires.
