Fog of War is also a good name for the spell.

It's been there for a long time.
However, I do agree that it's terrible. Not only is it rather ill-fitting so far, but this quest is far better than that one!

You can keep your raging alcoholics and CKII weirdness, and we'll keep Mathilde's amazing adventures!
It can't have been there that long, surely. @BoneyM was complaining about being compared to that arc (and the pejorative name in particular) before we even started on the Expedition. I don't remember seeing it there when the hiatus ended, at least.

'Fog of War' should be saved for when we make a spell that can hide our troops' movement, as our trait implies we can do.

quite literally, considering our fancy belt buckle has drakenhof mountain on it
It is kind of neat to think that for a lot of dwarves, we're probably only recognizable by our sweet-ass Kragg-made giant belt-buckle.

We have wolf-riders and demigryph-riders, and yet Mathilde the Centaur has yet to talk shop with any of them. And that's sad.

I picked the other one because I still have hopes of going back to Stirland someday.

One Mathilde spell is good for a laugh, no reason to look like someone with a raging ego to the rest of the Colleges.

AFAIK it's been there since the very beginning of the expedition. Sometimes it's been removed and put back (repeatedly, I think), which sucks.

Come on guys, seriously. Imagine down the line we invent a spell that can hide soldiers in a fog of bank, or otherwise stops the enemy from getting information on our troops. THAT is the time to name a spell 'Fog of War', not when we're making a map spell. Otherwise, what are we going to call that troop movement-hiding spell?
 
Finally caught up, the quest is beautiful and I look forward to more, after a good night's sleep that is.
And seriously, what did those goblins eat? I saw like half a dozen 90+ rolls, that's not natural.

Eh, monofocusing the name on the map utility portion does the spell a little injustice IMO, as names can easily prejudice to a specific use and scope. This spell is just as useful for creating diagrams and models, and for our Order in particular given how magic has been described where you need great understanding and a language with incredible specicifity it seems like it would also be suitable as an aid for teaching certain aspects of magic.

Sticking our name on stuff seems like an easy way to become notable. I expect that in practice people will drop the name when using the spell much like Sid Meier's Everything Ever. The other alternative is the brand name itself becoming a generic name like Jet Skis, Bubble Wrap and band-aids.

Not that much discussion on who to talk to though. I'll have to think on it a bit and come back to it later. I am however tempted to spend some time with Wolf since time with our familiar can only be a good thing.

[Mathilde's cave-mapping: Martial, 100+19=119.]
Hooray!
how a bunch of Rangers hacking away at half-grown Squigs could be about to get about three hundred fleeing Goblins to the rear. "Here's what we thought was the dead end coming off it, here's that weird interwoven bit, here's the edge of the Squig caves, and if Rekthor's report is right, here is where that junction branches off towards the hall."

The expression on Ulthar's face is alarmed as he leans away from the unexpected display of manling wizardry, but then he frowns in thought and leans in close. "Oh, krut," he breathes, then leaps to his feet, shouting a stream of Khazalid at a runner nearby as he grabs his axe from the table. He pauses just for a moment to tell you to take over here as he sprints off on the heels of the alarmed runner.
Yet another achievement for the list. Saving a bunch of Dwarfs (again) and even getting to take over command for Ulthar.
Fucking hell we could make a fortune off of that. Marshals all over the Old World would literally pay a king's ransom for an editable, real-time 3D map of a battlespace.
It would be amazing yeah, probably hard to make it as an interactive enchantment though. However as a spell for Ulgu journeyman Wizards it would be quite nice and make them popular in battlefield support. Might even see Ulgu wizards being popular in Dwarf Holds at the rate we're going.

So, I guess this would be one of the highest things on the list that could be taken to cripple the Skaven presence in Eight Peaks?

Of course, we'd have to find it first, and then seize it, and the Skaven would definitely throw as much as they could at us to prevent its loss if we do find it, but if we could, it'd probably be one of the biggest blows that could be struck against the Skaven presence here.
Taking the food supply would be great especially since it would likely send the Skaven into panic, infighting, hoarding and cannibalism.

The real target of value though that we really want to hit is the Skaven Breeders (Skaven Females). If we can kill them then the Skaven Clan is doomed unless they can get more from someone else. That will mean regardless of whatever else is going on then they'll have to target other Skaven for their breeders or see their power come to an end.

Eh, to be fair, you can do all that stuff with lesser magic. What Mirage Map is good for is that it lingers and allows you to edit the parameters without having to recast the whole spell--something largely at its best for battlefield mapping or really complicated 3D Diagrams.
