    @jonpfl You can reset the BOT by selecting a new map. Any and all BOTs can play any an all games that have been uploaded in the engine. The game will start after all player nations have been selected for play.

    @odie A bot doesn't require the lobby to run. If it can't connect to whatever lobby address/port you specify, it will print an error to the console, but otherwise will continue to operate normally. However, it's not exactly clear what you're trying to do. If you simply want to host a game in which you will participate (and want to bypass the lobby), you can just use the Host Networked Game command from the main menu. The only reason I can think why you'd want to host a private bot that doesn't connect to the lobby is if you want to provide a server for your friends for games in which you're not participating. That is, so your friends can play against each other: without you as an active player, without having to use the lobby, and without you having to run the full GUI on your desktop. BTW, from a security perspective, if you're going to run a bot that's reachable from the Internet-at-large and running all the time, I'd recommend running it using a non-administrative account. In fact, if possible, you should create a separate account to run it so that, if it happens to get compromised, the damage an attacker can do to your host will be limited.

    @scousemart It is always possible that issues mentioned in the game notes might have been fixed in the meantime. But concerning this issue you can easily reproduce the flaw in Global when for example you can bring an Infantry from Germany to the transport in SZ 114 during Combat Move Phase - and another one for example from Poland during Noncombat Move Phase. Clear violations of the rules, but incorrectly possible in TripleA. There may be other related scenarios of course.

    Yeah, it varies a lot map by map because many of even the standard ww2 maps have standard bids around 10-15 for human players let alone the AI. Best thing is to run the AI vs itself or just play a bunch of games with different bonuses.

    @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.

    @Ozymandiaswept

    Hi Ozzy

    Stick with us 🙂

    Some of the stuff doesn't work right now. This is how @victoryfirst taught me to do it and I have done the same ever sense. 2-3 years now and it works for me. I'm on ubuntu fwiw but everyone else on windows. Idk if you on mac will bring in ubernaut but it should work regardless.

    this should show you what to do pretty much. disregard the clutter 🙂

    https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4376/playbyforum-first-utrecht

    but you start pbem

    Screenshot from 2026-08-25 00-41-04.png

    make sure both emails registered to the Dice server hit register takes you here https://dice.triplea-game.org/

    Ignore all the other bullshit and fire up a game 🙂

    So select game do the email shit make sure both emails registered and o h yea hit "test server" only need to do it once at game start, then you good to go.

    Most people do a test turn in local mode then hit PBEM or Forum, they're basically interchangeable and do their final turn in pbem.

    Screenshot from 2026-08-25 00-47-19.png

    It'll say "Dice Server On "bottom right. When your turn is done you hit "Turn Summary" then ctrla ctrlc

    Screenshot from 2026-08-25 00-49-01.png

    Then save game ctrls

    post the turn sumarry and saved game to your opponent at your game thread, we create a Game Thread here https://forums.triplea-game.org/category/45/play-by-forum

    or you can send emails to each other

    Edit
    ask if you get stuck. I struggled hard trying to figure it out first time fwiw lol

    Then @victoryfirst clued me in 🙂

    Edit 2
    As far as the above error, make sure you had a capital "O" in your name. Idk but the error has it in lower case. Maybe it doesn't matter. Idk. Triplea will @ some names with upper case and then sometimes it comes up all in lower case 🙂

    Just tried to go with the forum option and created a new post under play by forum (4402).

    but when I try to Test post i received the following:

    An unexpected error occurred! IllegalStateException: Couldn't find an account with the username ozymandiaswept in the selected forum. Please double-check: 1) The selected forum 2) The spelling of your username 3) If your account is correctly registered at the selected forum

    thank you both - i guess i have been trying to setup play by email. Is that harder to do versus by forum? I guess i'm still a bit unclear with PBEM. I don't assign a nation but we agree to it informally. So if I say I'm Russia I play my turn, hit done then Germany is up. So my friend plays but I can still move stuff around - is that working as designed or somehow I set it up incorrectly? Maybe I should try the forum route. Appreciate the openness. We started playing Axis and Allies in 1986 so that kinda dates me a bit.
