Why isnt explored map hooked off by default?
Do you know if you dont check that box you can kiss all long range units goodbye? Yet bots can use them from outside of your field of view? They can attack you far away and you cant hit back, you have to get in inside them to fight back.


Also In original game you could decide how much the ore spreads, can this be added to openra?


I've also noticed you can garrison a unit inside allied jeep, in missions you can see thats a feature but in skirmish its hidden?

This has been discussed and rejected multiple times already, for example in https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/5168.

This could be added, but nobody is working on it currently.

This also works in skirmish, but garrisoned units are just passengers.

I see now I have confused Explored map with fog of war, its fog of war i wish to be unhooked.
