@numetalfan No. Its just my personal modded game based on NWO 5 Nations map. But i think there are some maps out there which are using negative and positive support attachments.
What do you need exactly? More details about how to structure a support attachment based rock scissor paper element into a game?
Feel free to ask. I will do as much as i can to help you with anything i am able to do.

@numetalfan said in objectiveAttachment neutral countries:

unfortunately it does not display the objective result for the player in the game, ...

You mean it doesn't show up in the Objectives tab with the other Objectives ? If so you need to add it to the "objectives.properties"

Also, when you collect income, it will mention it and record it in History

@zlefin Yes, you could create a trigger like that. You would check against "directPresence" and change control to a neutral player.

I had

<option name="canBeDamaged" value="true"/> <option name="canDieFromReachingMaxDamage" value="true"/> <option name="maxDamage" value="2"/>

To stop the error add the following to the same unit

<option name="isConstruction" value="true"/> <option name="constructionType" value="Recruit"/> <option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/> <option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/>

@thedog

Actually the physical map was the primary goal, I learned GIMP to make that first and then afterwards started working on the TripleA version.

The TripleA map was relatively quick/simple because I'd already had the physical version of the map with all of the territory borders created using vectors. So effectively I just scaled it down and hit the trace button on the borders vectors and was done.

Found the problem. I cannot even use this with land units. Only in sea zones i can enter in noncombat move phase.
Whole idea worthless.

<!-- Subs Can End NonCombat Move With Enemies allows submarines to end their noncombat movement in a sea zone containing any enemy units, including enemy subs --> <property name="Subs Can End NonCombat Move With Enemies" value="true" editable="false">

@thedog Thy. And just now i found a breaking flaw in my idea. Land units cannot do this at all. Only sea units.

<!-- Subs Can End NonCombat Move With Enemies allows submarines to end their noncombat movement in a sea zone containing any enemy units, including enemy subs --> <property name="Subs Can End NonCombat Move With Enemies" value="true" editable="false">

@wc_sumpton Luckily i dont have or need isDestroyer in my ancient times mod. Thy again for helping me to find a good workaround.

@TorpedoA

You will need to open up a bug report, so that scramble units do regular can move checks.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton heh heh you're the one that clued me in on it when I was struggling 🙂

@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.

@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

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...

@thedog Most maps are set up to work with 2.6
