Fog of War? Other additions?

[Neofox]

When I picked up FE3, I was informed that it was the first FE game to have Fog of War missions and Defend the Throne missions. However, having played both books I can honestly say I did not find either of these missions in either book. A friend told me that the desert mission is a fog of war mission, but when I went there I could clearly see everything, from the barbarians, to the flying dragons, to the only berzerker in the game (perhaps it was due to having VASM and RPGguy's patch attached?).

Is there something I'm missing, here? Or was I told wrong?

I'm reasonably certain Thracia, not Mystery, is the Fire Emblem that introduced Fog of War, as well as missions that didn't consist of seizing the throne.  I think your friend was just off by two games; believe me, I'm not good enough with ASM to make Fog of War disappear.  :p

Well, Pukachi accidentally removed the fog of war in FE5 when doing simple hex edits, so I didn't think that it would be too hard to end up doing the same here...

RPGuy is right. That's FE5 that introduced those two features. There is no FoW in FE3, and all chapters are seize chapters.

Removing FOW is easy if it's already programmed in. It's just 1 byte within chapter data that says if it's on or off (or how far you can see in the GBA case).

Adding it in when it isn't programmed is another story and would require ASM work. Since there is no data for it (let alone byte to change it on and off).
