@fatoumas said in When joining a BOT there is no option for AI: Hello, When joining an existing BOT, i cant find any option in order to select AI to take a specific nation. Iam trying this online (not local). So is there any option to do that or its required to HOST the game to do so? What i want to do is to play e.g. Axis with a friend and AI to take Allies I confirm you will be able to do what you want if you privately host or play by direct connection.

@ed-nielsen Your are using a way outdated TripleA version (1.9). TripleA 1.9 ran with Java 6. Please try again using either the current stable version https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.5.22294 or maybe the current prerelease (in case you want to try it out) https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases Please note that between 1.9 and the current version(s) a lot has changed. So after installing a newer version you should redownload the maps. While you can install and run different TripleA versions side by side the map-files have been changed and you might experience compatibility issues. So I recommend to perform either a clean install or to be absolutely sure to point to different map-directories in case you want to keep 1.9 and its map files for any reason. Also please note that with the newer versions of TripleA you are no longer dependent on a systemwide installed TripleA. The newer versions come bundled with the (at that time current) Java version that is installed inside the TripleA installation and used exclusively by TripleA. For example the current stable (2.5.22294) runs with bundled Java 11.0.6.

@Cernel I can confirm your fix is working well, with our new The Shogun map, my cpu reaches 100% and its using up to 3GB when it needs to. In short it is running well. Thanks again.

@panther I'm using 2.5.22294 on Windows 10. It defaults to C:\users\myusername\triplea\downloadedMaps and I'd like to save it to D:\triplea\downloadedMaps since D:\triplea is where the saved games are and where I installed the game itself.

@schulz veqryn stated it pretty well years ago. I don't have his actual comment but basically it was How do you quantify that ? You couldn't do anything without the developers having done the work in the first place to even make it possible I just suggest people donate to triplea.

I think I agree with everything written here. The notes seem to imply that it isn't allowed (the sentence about only legal rules being allowed besides the listed exceptions), but the notes could just be referring to the "Revised" ruleset. But at the end of the day its up to whomever is playing what the "rules" are anyways. At this point we have decided (in the NWO game I am playing) to only allow "legal" moves in the engine and thus LHTR rules only apply for non-combat and placement. This just makes things "easier" (don't have to consider moves that the engine doesn't allow) and also better preserves the balance of the map as the differences between LHTR and Revised is not as large without this extra rule.

@beelee yeah that's definitely the right way to approach conflicts

Thank you Panther!

@glenn44bc you can still advertise your game in the lobby, including what "bot" you are in. a lot of players slap a "known" player and say "game?", then tell what bot they are in. and some people just set up a "bot" and wait for someone to join.

@lafayette That should Engine Options/Settings/Testing/Lobby URL Override

well seems this works so it can be deleted. Can't remember if we can do that here or not. Can at the other place anyway I'll try n 86 it Edit Nope that's the other place. So, yea, this can be dusted

Hey @Cernel. Only time will tell. My understanding is any admin can edit the feature list post but unfortunately at this point I don't think anyone is really updating it or addressing items from it. Hepps and I were working on some maps but other than that I think we both just got busy and aren't around as much any more. Good to hear you liked many of the features that were added.

So IDKY the Changer Alliance isn't showing up as Changer. But I just made it Axis and it seems to align correctly in the lobby now. I guess it's not a huge issue as Relationships override everything. Just be nice if it lined up right for clarity.

@panther thank you for the quick help. i was able to get that to work. not very intuitive and a little odd that its so different from 1942 version, but rules are rules

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to explain. I thought I was going nuts. But now all this makes sense. Maybe an added line or two in the instructions explaining these mechanics would help.. but to keep my word, I made the donation and added to it for also having an ID-10-t error...

@silverbullet I would suggest the Anniversary Edition. It is reasonably well balanced and it is simpler and faster playing than the Global Game. If you are not experienced with the game, try the 1941 game to learn the system (or just play TripleA)

Regular nwo probably doesn't need a bid. At least it doesn't at high skill levels per the history of ladder games tuning it. It's possible it does at more medium skill levels. It's also possible there's some key move patterns or choices that aren't being utilized which would fix the issue, and that not enough of the good nwo players are still around to copy from. I don't know about 5-nations at all, as I'm not sure it was ever subject to tight balance tuning. Of course part of the point of a bid system is that you can use it regardless of others' opinions on the matter, and simply bid to find something that seems fair to both sides.
