Hello everyone,
Recently, I was playing a 1 vs 1 against a friend (Tymore) and we came up with an idea for a new card which could be used to counteract reconnaisance and surveillance cards. Let's call it Satellite-Block for now. With this card you can select a territory (and all adjacent territories)or a bonus of a map you control and you will force this region to appear neutral (even though you own the territory/bonus) for a couple of rounds when reconnaisance/surveillance is used by the enemy team. The enemy team which used the reconnaisance or surveillance card will see the territories unoccupied/neutral with the starting amount of neutral armies even though it is occupied. This card would not counteract the spy card. It would allow for a small surprise factor and in theory would allow you to sneak up to the enemy. Please let me know your thoughts on this concept.

Would any territory in No Fog, Light Fog or Dense Fog still get effected, escencially foging it?
If you own a territory next to the one effected by the card still show as neutral or just against Reconnaisance/surveillance card?

This card only works against reconnaisance/surveillance. If it was used on a territory adjacent next to the enemy nothing would happen. If reconnaisance/surveillance was used on a territory which is next to the enemy territory (and therefore the enemy should see the number of troops of that territory) and Satellite-Block was used previously I would say that even though you are next to the enemy territory, it would appear neutral (even though it isn't). I'd say this is the case because you are explicitly relying on the reconnaisance/surveillance card to observe your opponent.

It's a fun idea, but a mod that would do this would only bring trouble. I have already made a decoy card mod, but with the current tools we can use it is impossible to make it fully compatible with Warzone settings and other mods. That mod only changes the army count, having a fake owner of some territories would be even harder...
