Zoo Monsters go Invisible

from Stardock Forums
I've noticed that in Beta 5A that the escaped monsters go invisible from time to time on the main map. They are still visible on the mini map. If the main map is 'jigged' around with the mouse, the monster(s) ghost for an instant. It sure makes leading it/them around more of challenge...

Are the monsters supposed to be able to become invisible?

Are you sure its not 'fogs of war'? Try cntl-R to redraw map. This make invisible stuff visible.

No its not fog of war, a technique I use in my games is to use my Survey Ship to lead the monsters around the map and let them do what they want to do to the other Civs stuff. Thus, I had a ship about three 'squares' away when the monster went invisible.

even if you have a ship sitting there, the FOW could have still messed it up.

The ship was 1 move out of range - 2 squares. I agree that FOW may have had a part to play, as a FOW bug.

You can always tell if you hit CTRL-R and it becomes visible again.

Apparently there's still something that causes it to get messed up. I'll be looking into it.
