Nick just wants to take off *entire* map visibility in the multiplayer game creation dialog. Your omniscience depends on actual observer units scattered around the map, so it should still work. But Nick, being invisible to the observers, won't show up on the map. Nothing to worry about.
If we did allow entire map visibility, your omniscience *would* be useless since everyone would have the same power.
