It becomes more valuable when it also models exposure. If each node knows what it can see, the graph can answer tactical questions, not just pathfinding questions. Visibility is the tactical signal Visibility tells you several things at once: whether a position is exposed whether it provides cover whether it is good for attacking from whether a route is safe to travel whether the position is likely to attract return fire That makes visibility one of the strongest signals in tactical AI. https://blog.jonmikeys.com/posts/practical-tactical-awareness-system-starting-small/ Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.jonmikeys.com/posts/practical-tactical-awareness-system-starting-small/ A tactical awareness system should start small. The first version does not need to model everything. It needs to answer one or two useful questions clearly. Start with one signal The first step is to pick one tactical signal that is easy to measure. Good candidates are: visibility cover a small penalty for exposed paths The point is not completeness. The point is to get a result that changes behavior in a useful way.
