@beelee I think it is only supported on a 1:* basis. I don't think anyone has ever suggested doing it the other way.

@rogercooper
As a alternative to the Feudal Japan approach a custom game property RUS AI can be set manually if Russians are to be played by the AI.

<property name="RUS AI" value="true" editable="true"/>

"movementRestrictionTerritories" is a player "RulesAttachment", a trigger can overwrite the value.

<attachment name="rulesAttachment" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRus1" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name='gameProperty' value='RUS AI'/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentRus1" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentRus1"/> <option name="when" value="before:russianPurchase"/> <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" count="rulesAttachment"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="movementRestrictionTerritories" count="India:15 Sea Zone"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="movementRestrictionType" count="disallowed"/> <option name='uses' value='1'/> </attachment>

I'm only testing the trigger once based on "RUS AI". To apply/clear movementRestrictionTerritories based on the ownership of India, I think you would need 2 opposite triggers based on conditionAttachmentRus1.

If RUS_AI: trigger1 (set movementRestrictionTerritories)
else: trigger2 (clear movementRestrictionTerritories).

@Schulz

It will only affect Germany. Combat stats are reset normally at the end of the players Non-Combatmove. That is why the placed units don't move.

@zaroph

I've just learned and decided to use another method which randomize unit distributions instead set ups;

Example;

<variable name="DervishConscript">
<element name="Eritrea"/>
<element name="Cibuti"/>
<element name="Aksum"/>
<element name="Dessie"/>
<element name="Adama"/>
<element name="Gondar"/>
</variable>

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentr1" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="rounds" value="1"/>
</attachment>

<attachment foreach="$DervishConscript$" name="triggerAttachmentDervishConscript@DervishConscript@" attachTo="Dervish" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
<option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentr1"/>
<option name="placement" value="@DervishConscript@:conscript" count="1"/>
<option name="players" value="Dervish"/>
<option name="chance" value="1:2"/>
<option name="when" value="before:germanyCombatMove"/>
</attachment>

@roiex Thanks

@schulz yea I don't think you can have the values without the text. At least you couldn't a few years ago.

Kind of a bummer. I asked about trying to get em to show with just hover or add to the bottom bar, but that idea wasn't accepted.

@thedog

Thank you. Worked now.

<attachment name="canalAttachment4" attachTo="SZ 67" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory">

@beelee

Idk if you can change the display or not but POS2 just has "Turn Complete"

<delegate name="endTurnNoPU" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.NoPUEndTurnDelegate" display="Turn Complete"/>

Doesn't have "...No PU" in it

I first tried it with "Turn Complete but it didnt work so it was something I changed to see if it did work.

However it seems that ive solved it now. I changed

<step name="bloodelvesEndTurnNoPU" delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="BloodElves"/> to <step name="bloodelvesEndTurn" delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="BloodElves"/>

And it seems to work now.
Seems weird to me that they have to have the same name even tho they are different things.

@beelee

The problem might be with the conditions/'when'. I think control of a territory after battle is not changed until 'endTurn' so checking 'after:japanCombat' will always be false. By removing the 'when' the trigger is checked at 'endTurn' and fires.

Cheers...

@hepps Right On ! That's Awesome ! Canada can give them to their Peacekeepers. Keep em safe at night 🙂

Thanks Rock On !!!.png

@numetalfan I would try using "unitPresence" and"directPresenceTerritories" instead . Something like

<option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="53 Sea Zone" count="1"/>

<option name="unitPresence" value="battleship" count="1"/>
