@RoiEX I'd have assumed that the sh file would install a working java version as well if there's none on the system I believe the bundled JRE support in the installer only works for Windows x86/x86_64 and macOS.

@schorote What would probably work as well is using nvidias technology I described earlier, might mess up your desktop a little bit, but as a workaround it's probably going to be working as well because in this case your Linux distribution thinks that only a single screen is connected.

I have looked them before they just save my single games not lobby games on bots.

@daudvyd said in Complex questions from a new user: @Hepps , thank you for this reply. I have a few followup questions: When will Global Dominance be available? When the stew is ready an simmering... the Global Dominance will be served in heaping bowls of delightfully complex goodness.

@redrum said in T.W.W. Help: @cmmiles Yeah, its best to set neutrals to Does Nothing, Fodder was just renamed to that to make it more clear. No: "Fodder" was renamed to "Easy". The in game manual should be updated to refer to "Easy", instead of "Fodder", albeit that may not be a good solution, as "Easy" is currently deprecated. @cmmiles You are supposed to assign those players to "Easy (AI)".

@cmmiles As mentioned above... playing TWW vs the AI will allow you to get a feel for the game. However, since the AI does not understand how to use Combat Engineers and Materials to construct anything, the experience will not be very competitive nor will it be reflective of the challenges you are likely to encounter against a human player.

@cernel Personally I'm unaware of any A&A originals that allowed point 1. But It's been a long time since I played the board games too.

Personally I think hijacking an active project without permission is deplorable (whether credit is given or not, although not giving any credit would be even worse) . It is the kind of behavior that can make a map maker not want to be part of this community.

@dr-stein Also be sure to have the latest version of Java 8 installed on your system. Java 8 needs Vista SP2, so you could check this as well.

@panther thought so but wasn't sure if it totally met all oob rules Cool!

@jonpfl Hi jonpfl Welcome to triplea

It does! Thanks a million.

@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.

@cheesewarrior C:\Users\prast\triplea\savedGames is where mine are stored. You can delete them with windows explorer.

@Cernel I updated it

@general_zod No, nothing that I am aware of. You can see here https://github.com/triplea-maps when the maps have been touched.
