@thedog

the placing of units without a factory is not the problem,

I want to get rid of that message

@torpedoa Are you sure you want to have a 1v1 game in the first place? This seems a game that, realistically, has to be more than two-sided (and arguably it should be a FFA). It not like there is something like "Roma" and everything else is fighting against it only.

@rogercooper that's pretty interesting could really get pretty accurate with initial placements. 🙂

@torpedoa there are several ways we handle ffas when i play.

1: all war, all the time, no alliances, no deals, no egging on others to attack a faction.

2: we only allow each faction to try to instigate one diplomatic function per turn, even if that action fails or is turned down, only one diplomatic action per turn.

3: unlimited diplomatic actions per turn.

4: adjust settings so "deals" take an extra round to "break" so there is less back-stabbing and surprises.

5: usually when one faction is stronger then the others, there is an unspoken alliance against the strong faction.

I want to create a trigger the changes the "isDestroyer" function by a condition:

a) the destroyer is in a sea zone adjacnet to a land containg a unit (let's saya "costal defense")
then a trigger will turn this option off

b) is the destroyer elsewhere on the map, the trigger will not fire

my problem:

how to define a trigger condition that checks if the current place of a destroyer, a sea zone, is adjacent to land containing a specific unit (here: "costal defense")?

@wc_sumpton @Cernel

I think i have to explain to myself that the charioteer is just too much additional weight to be able to scramble together with the chariot then. Because the chariot unit is not empty to begin with. lol

I think i can live with that. Sounds reasonable. Dont you think?

Playing without alliances and territories ownerships at all, all factions will conquer all neutral territories where faction units are put, immediately after the first combat move of any faction.

@ubernaut
Eventually you can read that and have some clue?
This is really strange.

@lafayette yea so i have pinta and I can do some stuff but trying to change the whole thing/color usually doesn't work unless it's gray ( forget what it's called ) and I can use those for Germans.

@numetalfan

Should, but what is the relationship between Germany and Italy? If the relationship is "Allied" and 'alliancesCanChainTogether' is true then it would be unnecessary to set both players if it is Germany or Italy declaring war. Of course if "War" has 'isDefaultWarPosition' set 'True' and Russia declares war on either Germany or Italy then they will be at war with both players.

But yes you should be able to change any number of relationships with a single trigger.

Cheers...

@numetalfan

Not to hard. I would use a 'switch' condition to insure that only one player received the captured unit, and a limited 'resource' to build that captured unit.

<!-- Add to the resourceList --> <resourceList> ... <resource name="CapturedMountainTroops"/> </resourceList> <!-- Add to production --> <production> ... <productionRule name="buyCapturedMountainTroops"> <cost resource="PUs" quantity="4" /> <cost resource="CapturedMountainTroops" quantity="1"/> <result resourceOrUnit="Mountain troops" quantity="1"/> </productionRule> ... </production> <!-- The 'switch' trigger --> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentCapturedMountainTroops" attachTo="Switzerland" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="switch" value="true"/> </attachment> <!-- If Germany captures the factory --> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentGermanyCapturesSwisFactory"attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <!-- Add 'switch' conditions --> <option name="conditions" value="...:conditionAttachmentCapturedMountainTroops"/> <!-- Give Germany 3 resources --> <option name="resource" value="CapturedMountainTroops"/> <option name="resourceCount" value="3"/> <!-- Change 'switch' to false --> <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" count="conditionAttachmentCapturedMountainTroops"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="switch" count="false"/> </attachment>

Because every player should check the same 'switch' once its false it will block all other players and the resource will insure only a certain amount of units will be built.

Next...
