Universal Camouflage

[German Economy]

Can someone tell me how it works exactly?
Been playing a multiplayer session and gave a scout unit the camouflage, but he was visible when i entered his city. He had no special buildings that would like reveal me.

Why do i become visible to others? Or is it not even invisibility but something else?

True sight on his heroes?
I think there is an astral spell that reveals everything within a city domain.
Or meaby cities dont count as terrian?

Not enough details on your case.
There are plenty of effects which can uncover camouflage.

No one can tell without checking it hands on. With even heroes having abilities to uncover camouflage, it could be another army, a basic building, throne city feature, etc.

Plus, when you are walking on structures, camouflaged units automatically should become visible to those you are "invading"/trespassing.

There is even a function I have seen which allows you to cancel camouflage just to show yourself to an unknown empire.

Otherwise, camouflage works as intended, as you have seen from the clips in the guide from the other day. My best bet: check for nearby heroes and watch out that your unit does not walk on improvements. If the conditions are right and the empire you are trespassing really does not have spells active to uncover camoflage or buildings, then you might report it as a bug on Paradox forums.

Also of note capital cities eventually get true sight from a wizard tower upgrade. So those are harder to sneak up on.
