  @beelee So for the first one: <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Battleship_Ordered_to_Vichy_Port" attachTo="French" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Axis_Conquer_All_France:Vichy_active:conditionAttachmentFrenchBB"/> <option name="chance" value="3:6"/> <option name="when" value="before:frenchCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> </attachment> I believe uses only is used up if it actually fires (you hit the chance) so you can't use that for what you are trying to do. You instead need to have another trigger that does fire after this one (say during after:frenchCombatMove) which sets a condition to false which is used in your trigger. As you also mention, if it only happens on a certain turn(s) then you could use the turns parameter instead. The second one looks correct except that if the BB would arrive before the 2 uses, it then fires once the BB leaves. So you would need to set a condition to be false once the BB returns so the notification doesn't show when it leaves.

  @alkexr said in Map Maker Resources: @LaFayette Hue shift isn't ideal in this case, because the white highlight is supposed to stay white. If that map property would actually shift the hue (only), white would remain white, of course.

  @gabegolfer One thing that can cause this is the reliefTiles images are opaque. If you are using reliefTiles they should be set to about 50% transparent to allow color to show through. This is just a guess. Cheers...

  Bombers were an odd thing in WW2. They weren't effective against ships who could evade their high-altitude attacks (except for slow moving transports). Doctrine dictated their use against strategic targets but when used against operational or tactical targets (as happened in the Normandy campaign) they were effective. I would think that you could use cannotTarget with bombardment attacks, but I would test to make sure. Bombardment isn't all that effective in TripleA, as ships are more expensive then planes and only get to fire the first round. Amphibious attacks are too easy in TripleA, Consider the huge effort to put 7 divisions ashore in Normandy. On the other hand transporting units in non-combat situations is too hard. All units having AA is not a bad idea (operational losses were significant) but you should make planes more effective or cheaper. Planes having an AA-type attack could be interesting. Give your ideas a try and see how they work.

  @wc-sumption: WINTER-Implementation via TerrainEffects List: after spending some time on variations of this suggestionmy current conclusion: I don't get it working: ( no bug report either so that is ok ) Winter effect is not "added" as feature in a "trigger-listed territory" by this trigger... it works fine if I add Winter effect as territoryEffectAttachment and add it to a specific territory "hardcoded" but not by trigger.... Thanks for your support... if you or anyone else might have an idea for another option please let me know... plan B was to see if it is possible to add a negative battle bonus on a Dummy-players' Unit ( winterSign) and try to get a general penalty but that would be pretty rough.... and not best option ( especially to support more winter-proof units as Soviet T34's etc )

  Hi @andrewthree This is from World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition <attachment name="conditionAttachment_False" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="switch" value="false"/> </attachment> This still a little confusing to me how it all works but basically the "conditionAttachmentFalse" acts as an on/off switch. It's attached to the "Germans" who go first, so I guess try attaching it to the first player in WAW for starters. <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_Not_At_War_With_Allies"/> <option name="switch" value="true"/> </attachment> I didn't list the condition for this one but "conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch" means if the Allies aren't at war with Mongolia it can be activated when it's conditions are met. <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="battle" value="Russians:Japanese:any:currentRound:Manchuria:Jehol:Chahar:Suiyuyan:Kansu:Korea"/> </attachment> This does it a little different than what you have. "battle" means those territories just need to be attacked. Doesn't need to be conquered. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia"/> <option name="when" value="after:russiansBattle"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="players" value="Russians"/> <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" count="conditionAttachment_Mongolia_May_Change_To_Russians_Control_Switch"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="switch" count="false"/> </attachment> This part is still a bit confusing as well for me but I think <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" activates the first switch "conditionAttachment_False" if conditionAttachment_Russians_Conquer_Japanese_Territory_By_Mongolia" is true. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia_2" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_False"/> <option name="when" value="before:japaneseNonCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Olgiy:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Dzavhan:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Tsagaan Olom:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Central Mongolia:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Buyant-Uhaa:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> <option name="changeOwnership" value="Ulaanbaatar:Mongolians:Russians:true"/> </attachment> So now that "conditionAttachment_False" is activated, the trigger changes Ownership. <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia_3" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Japanese_Conquer_Russians_Territory_By_Mongolia"/> <option name="when" value="after:japaneseNonCombatMove"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Ulaanbaatar:infantry" count="1"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Buyant-Uhaa:infantry" count="2"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Olgiy:infantry" count="2"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="Dzavhan:infantry" count="1"/> <option name="placement" value="Ulaanbaatar:Russian_infantry" count="1"/> <option name="placement" value="Buyant-Uhaa:Russian_infantry" count="2"/> <option name="placement" value="Olgiy:Russian_infantry" count="2"/> <option name="placement" value="Dzavhan:Russian_infantry" count="1"/> </attachment> And now they change units. Also you want to use "conditions" not "trigger" for <option name="trigger" At any rate, what this all means is, if Mongolia is not at war with the Allies and Japan attacks one of the listed Territories, Mongolia will turn into Russian Territories and units. Hope it's not oo confusing. I think I confused myself already

  @beelee That property name should probably be changed to something like "Use Multiple Combat Rolls for Best".

  FWIW, being able to specify unit stats at the start of a game is something I've wanted to build in for some time. Having to do triggers to get the same effect is clearly a workaround, so I'm sorry you're having to go through that pain. Hopefully some time in 2021 this will be a built in feature.
