@LaFayette

Thanks. Although it is curiouser and curiouser (to quote Lewis Carroll) why onezingy could get on but not others. He did text he downloaded the latest game engine if it matters.

You can close the this thread then.

Thank you for the reply. I acctually solved it by examining maps that had it in their map options, like "the Great War". Not(!) every map has that code line in it's xml file, but at least as long as the map is based on WW2V2 rules, you can add the option to limit battle rounds by adding the above code lines to the xml files, like so;

Find map in triplea/downloadedMaps/'map name' in map folder open file map/games/'map name'.xml find code section <propertyList> insert following code lines like image below;

Then you should be able to freely tweak battle rounds limit.

Hope this thread is helpful to others as well

Happy conquering!

After intensively thinking I decided to make world map because it will be already possible to turn it into European map if somebody intend.

Different aspects which will separated it from most other WWII maps but mostly it will be with v3 units and rules.

More realistic incomes: Germany and USA will be relatively more stonger

Double Sea zones in English Channel: Giving Germany opportunity threataning Allies shippings with submarines and air units considering Germany will start with French factory and most sea territores will be blockade zones.

German Mediterranean: Germany will touch Adriatic.

Russian's "life of road": Lake Ladoga is connected to lake of Onega which connects to Barents sea. Russia will need naval presence on the lake to reinfore easily Leningrad. Russia will have a specific cheap naval unit for this task which transports and defends.

Siberians: Russian special unit with 2/3 stats and 3 Pus cost but can be placed on only south siberian factories and Russia starts with Mongolia.

The issue is I'am undecided about the starting date. First option is Germany-Italy starts on prior of Barbarossa and Japan prior of the attack on Pearl harbour timelines the other one is either December 1941 or May 1942.

I have also noticed the failure to build factories recently. Something has changed.

The problem with unbalanced builds is an old one. If you gave the AI a lot of money, it will build all planes. This should be an easy problem to fix, by just limiting planes to no more than half of units purchased.

@Panther @Cernel thanks i forwarded your answer to the OP on reddit. 🙂

It'll be hard to say more until we know more about this problem. FWIW, save games have always required parts of the original map (for example territory names IIRC). There has been an attempt over time to reduce the dependency on an existing map, but for sure you do need a map to load a save game for that map. Name hacking will be unreliable but could work if you know what you're doing.

@Panther I can’t argue with that logic...🙂

Hi@von_Walrus_44

The 2nd post by Deltium I found to be quite helpful for forum play.

@ubernaut yes, anytime your turn starts, you should grab a save, both hosts and guests.

@Cernel Ok thanks.

@hans are you waiting for a bit ? It takes it a while to kick in for me once I join

Moved to Player Help.

@bluelionman
yea so v3 rules I assuming, subs don't block ships but DDs block subs. So DD can cruise on by 🙂 They're probably headed to port for some shore leave.

@bluelionman

yea those are the A&A rules so that's why it does it. You can mod things so they behave differently to a certain extent, although I'm unfortunately having some trouble with that in the current release.

@TANK you dont have to play, just join an ongoing game and ask.

I don't know where you were looking but when I go to my Forum Profile, theres a Big Blue "Save Changes" button at the bottom
