  @prastle Makes sense. I think anyone can go into a bot and take it over if someone is camping in it and not responding to texts because they are in another game or not present. I might suggest we post an add on message to the lobby that says if you can host please do and leave the bots for those that cant.

  Hosting bots is not as difficult as it sounds. If I can do it, then I’m sure most people here can too. If you can Host a game on the Lobby, then you are almost there. Just needs a few tweaks to your router, a .bat file, a bit of patience and possible some help from a friendly Mod! First you need to update your router settings and open more ports. You should already have port 3300 open. I opened 6 in all, 3300 to 3305 (one for your own Hosting and 5 for the Bots). There is a freeware program you can use: Simple Port Forwarding (see here http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download ), which can help with the task. Follow the program instructions and open the required ports. Once you’ve opened the ports, you need to download the latest Beta(Pre-Release) version of TripleA. This is located here https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/ . This can be installed in a different folder from your stable TripleA. It's is recommended that you keep the stable version for testing purposes between the two versions of TripleA. I used the 1.9.0.0.10245 version. It is in this new folder that the .bat files must be inserted. Next is to create a .bat file. Using the attached .txt file as an example, edit the following asterisked sections: SET PORT= **** (the number of the port) SET BOT_NUMBER= *** (the number to identify the bot on the lobby, your choice) .name=Bot%BOT_NUMBER%_ ***** (letters and/or numbers to identify the bot on the lobby, your choice. Mine is DKMart1) .hostedBy= Bot%BOT_NUMBER%_***** (letters and/or numbers to identify the bot on the lobby, your choice. Mine is DKMart1) .supportEmail=************** (your email so Mods know where to find you… ) Once you’ve finished editing, save the file with the .bat extension. You can call the file anything you wish (in my case DKMart1_bot_1.bat). Repeat for the number of bots you wish to create. Remember, SET PORT= must be different for each .bat file and correspond to the ports you have opened on your router! Place the .bat files in the 1.9.0.0.10245 TripleA folder. If all goes to plan, when you click on the .bat file a command prompt window will open and attempt to load the bot to the server lobby. Open TripleA as usual (not the 1.9.0.0.10245 version), go to the lobby and marvel at the wonder of your work. Any problems contact a Mod (@prastle). He’ll sort you out!

  @lafayette I have a question regarding the "show verified dice" answer. Is this still an active feature in recent versions? I ask because, for some time now, whenever I click on "show verified dice", while playing in a online bot hosted game, it does not display a roll. I assumed it was de-activated or I just didn't understand how it works. Also, I notice this feature isn't even available if in a privately hosted online games? @lafayette said in FAQ and Help: FAQ Q. If the game is open source, how do you prevent people from hacking the dice. A. In PBEM games, all dice are rolled by a third party dice server, and mailed to the players. This allows you to verify that your opponent is not cheating. In online games, the dice are rolled on two computers, and are encrypted (for more details see OnlineDice ). If you are playing as a client (NOTE: if there are multiple clients, then only 1 client will have the verified random number), you can check the dice by using the menu games->show verified dice. If the dice in this window don't match the dice in the game, then the server has been hacked. So, I just checked using 8453, it is functional now, in online bot hosted games. Great!

  I was banned for using presidents names, mostly from the 1800's, I didn't know it was frowned upon. If you could check out my situation I would appreciate it.

  How would you rate countries and territories considering realism in big WWII maps.

  Also I don't think capital cities would represent realism. Soviets wouldn't have collapsed without Moscow. Making Rome as captal of Italy does not make sense. Northern Italy or Sicily would be better. But I would still prefer removing capitals in a realistic scenario.

  Why don't majority of Triplea world war maps (Espeically wwii) have aerial battles?

  @Schulz The standard skirmishing tactic of sending in 2 infantry and a fighter is useful, but eventually you get enough strength to advance into a territory in force. In standard A&A air units are more expensive than ground units and too many air units can leave you too weak to counter a large ground stack. A problem with the TripleA AI is that sometimes it buys too many air units if it has large amount of money, leaving it unable to actually take areas.

  Thanks Roger. I'll read the thread - good stuff. I think one thing I'm interested in is scenarios that don't turn into mega-stack scenarios. For one thing I find it hard to even see what's in a territory once there are too many units and for another I prefer manuevering around smaller armies. Some maps seem to discourage bigger stacks. The Dragon War map seems split up by seas so maybe stacks stay smaller in that one.
