Summary0017235: Can't-place-here messages let you find out what's in the fog
DescriptionThis screenshot shows a good example of this. It shows that you can see things like "There is a building here" and "Can't claim an enemy territory" when hovering a building placement over the fog, which you could (in theory at least) use to work out most of the layout of the map without actually exploring it.

The obvious fix, to me, would be to make the "You haven't explored here" message dominant, so that you don't see any other messages if that one is present.

Thanks!

* Now whenever you get a "you have not explored here yet" message as an error reason for not being able to place a building somewhere, it gives you no other error messages beyond that. Normally it's good to see all the different error messages, and we specifically added that in fact for general cases. But in this case it could be used to explore around in the fog. Oops!
