Zoc could be cached on a per-tile basis so every tile is marked
 whether it is adjacent to a unit that exerts zoc onto it.
it seems "a player has zoc onto a tile" implies "player has
lifted fog of war on that tile", so you could first check
whether fogofwar is lifted, and then proceed to check whether it is a zoc,
too.
it would be different for sea units looking at but not ZOCing land.

You might have to change some rules for submarine flags though.
