    @mariner2929 You can also create a custom diplomatic structure. However that requires some in depth xml knowledge.

    @taplayerzz To give you a rough overview of the way the dice are being rolled: When playing PbF/PbEM Whenever a player needs dice rolls to determine a result of a battle, a request to dice.tripleawarclub.org is being made over a secure HTTPS connection (relatively strong encryption for web standards). On a successfull roll (i.e. a valid request) an email is being sent to each player to prevent someone to just reload an old savegame from a round ago and replay the same scenario and get different results that may favor someone elses turn. So if you get 2 emails mentioning the "same" battle, you know something's odd. Playing over the internet Private hosts No guarantees here, the private host has full control over his server code in theory 'Bots' aka Official Hosts We host the bots ourselves and have therefore ensured that the code is unaltered. The actual rolling is done on the bots, so therefore no practical way of altering the code remotely. However the results are being sent over an unsecure connection, so in theory someone could hijack your private connection and simulate a complete game for you i.e. pretend you rolled bad although you didn't, because at some point the results become out-of-sync with the actual game, but this is really unlikely because our netcode is at the moment really compilcated to deal with, so probably not worth trying unless someone has waaay too much time (if such a person exists, feel free to join us, there's lots of code to fix ^^). TL;DR While it's in theory possible to play games on you by altering your connection, it's not possible to reasonably alter your dice results in a trivial way, unless of course someone found an exploit in our code or something, in which case we had a more severe issue than faked dice results. Additional Info: While online games are being played over an insecure connection, the passwords being sent for private matches are transmitted securely. (We aren't security experts, but based on our knowledge on best-practices in the recent time, we consider it secure, feel free to prove us wrong)

    This error message normally means that you don't have a working Internet connection. If this error just happens once, it's probably just a short outage of a server somewhere, otherwhise we might need to check a couple of things.

    @darksend All I can say is that the AI uses the same dice roller as the human does. Everyone remembers the bad rolls better than the good. If you are struggling to beat the Hard AI consistently then feel free to post a few save games and I'm sure some of the experienced players here would be glad to give you some tips.

    @willk_1230 I play extremely few non live games. But I presume the defender should always be given the choice if it is not a live game. So that would mean sending a email to the defender asking how many to scramble or sending him the file to scramble it himself and have him resend it to you once completed.

    @scousemart Indeed, for the first "attempt" it is irrelevant whether the option "Repost Turn Summary" is checked or not.

    @greatdane67 Which is your email provider? Did you use the email bound to this forum account? In the past there were sometimes problems with certain providers. Create a gmail-account and it should work.

    @willk_1230 There is no official guide to them. (Though it might be a worth-while endeavor down the road) Really a mapmaker should be explaining them in the map notes, but I have never seen it done by anyone. Which are confusing you? Perhaps I can help clear the air.

    @scousemart If you just need to view the notes outside of TripleA, then the new version of UBr may help. I have added an option to view the notes in version 1.0.4 See this thread for instructions You need to follow the instructions to see the notes clicking the link will not be sufficient. For those who loaded XMLs into UBr prior to version 1.0.4 you will need to reload those to see the notes.

    @rogercooper naw read top post. He wants to play an old save on a travelling laptop that never had that engine installed but he took his save with him. (not Hepps). Thus he just needs that engine installed on that laptop. (Did we even have an ai then ? ) hepps link will work for him if that is the case. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/1.3.2.3 As long as a new map dl is still compatible? alot of variables...
