@thedog Per my post, I find the indicator of how many steps a unit has moved to be very ugly, which is visible in the method you suggested. Is it possible to disable that in any way?

@panther @LaFayette Thank you for handling this.

This is exactly what I thought: cannot be a bug, otherwise people would have noticed it much earlier (How do League Players cope with this behaviour?), that's why I thought I needed rules clarifications.

I promise I'll create a GitHub account, but as I wrote somewhere else already, I need to take some time to first understand what it is about... Looks very intimidating

@Cernel My other question was due to the fact that there are other circumstances where unescorted transport are auto-destroyed without the need to hit them. But I agree that the rules are quite clear on that there is no reasons to treat them differently than a cruiser.

Btw, I downloaded the new update and saw that my problem with Air battles is now solved. It is very nice to see that there are people working on improving the game, thanks a lot for that.

@beelee

Hi beelee, after your message I went looking for a game and found that I didn't have a map loaded. I loaded the 1941 map and the option came up to play local.

Thanks!

@jeremy-keller OK yes I downloaded the pre-release and it works now. Thank you.

@cernel Thank you, this is very smart 😉

I tried and it is working by setting isStrategicBomber=true and bombingBonus=-6 to the fighter's attachement (bombingMaxDieSides=0 dosen't work, no clue why).

But then there are some weaknesses: the "bomb/escort" prompts when the fighter is alone (logic), it is still rolling a die (which means that if you send a bomber with 3 fighters, you roll 4 dies with only one that matters - a bit misleading).

So I think that now that I understood that excorts never have been thought to be used as protection against Air defense... I will stick to this principle as well.

@cernel Thanks! Don't know why I didn't think about that.

I played a few years ago and just started playing again. I think that might have caused some confusion but most likely operator error

🙂

@ondis
Fine.

@beelee said in No Welcome Message in Lobby:

Didn't know where to put this but News and bug reports won't let one make a topic, so here it is

There is the post for 'how to submit' these:

Though, I've no idea if the trade-off of trying to centralize bug reports is still worthwhile. In part the goal is to try and get mosty high quality bug reports, such that both reporter and fixer can spend a minimal amount of time on overhead and spend the bulk of their efforts in an actual fix (in other words, high communication efficiency).

Regardless, I believe this issue was recently fixed. Try with the very latest @beelee

Should end up here

I installed to a different directory, just added the pre number to the end of existing.
Click your way to Finish and hit that and it should fire up.

Anyway, hope it helps. If not we'll ask someone else 🙂

Edit
Also, I think triplea has java built into it for the right version when you DL it.

@ubernaut he did on git a few times but I don't ever remember seeing him here.

@panther yeah this is weird one i think gmail has been black holing them but first issue i've seen with yahoo

@LaFayette

yea latest pre takes me to lobby 👍

Downloads/TripleA_2.6+14705_unix.sh'
Starting Installer ...
Gtk-Message: 21:39:24.846: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

This error shows up and I always click over it. Idk if that means anything.

Did it before and worked. Guess it might that java number. Take me a while to figure out how to revert it.

Anyway, as you said, this takes you straight to 2.5 now so ... f it lol Would be nice to know why it didn't work but w/evs : )

@panther Thanks, now this topic can be deleted : )

You are welcome. I won't delete this topic however, because it serves as a good example for a case where a change of a forum username is unproblematic and sensible.

Contacting a forum admin in that case is helpful. An admin will take a look and act. 🙂

@thedog thank you

Edited 1st post 2.6 can download maps with the latest versions.

@heping you should be able to play by email or forum then I would think.

Not the same as a live game, but it would be against other people.

@cernel Thank you for your help.
