- Only update shroud within the visible screen area, rather than the whole map. This improves performance on larger maps significantly when scrolling around since large portions of the shroud do not need to be updated. - Provide methods in Shroud to return delegates to check for explored/visibility for tiles within a certain region. This allows it to return more efficient delegates whenever the region is within the map bounds, or shroud/fog is disabled. In the typical case where the region is in bounds and shroud/fog is enabled, the fast check is almost twice as fast as the slow check. - Use the Shroud delegate functions in shroud rendering, frozen actors, minimap rendering and resource layer areas to provide a speedup since these areas of code can often take advantage of the fact they perform checks within the map boundary. - Cache current element in CellRegionEnumerator to prevent repeated work if the element is accessed more than once. - Decrease the size of elements in some arrays in hopes of reducing memory needs and improving cache hits.
