    One challenge is having a mechanism to associate a game notes file with the game file. Having the two files with matching names and the notes file being suffixed with '-notes.html' might be easy enough. For example: world_at_war.xml world_at_war-notes.html

    @wc_sumpton I don't think that is the problem. I am basing this off of other maps that have fully functional user actions, and they don't have conditions in the activated triggers. This text change is also the only thing that isn't working correctly in those triggers. It seems like it is firing the trigger and making the change, and then calling the text to display, after it has changed it. As i read what I am typing, it doesn't seem like it is as clear as it could be, so please ask questions if it isn't clear.

    Ah, just saw the responses : ) The variable route would work, you are still duplicating the territory names, but at least it's more concise.

    Thanks for pointing me to the property @Cernel ; I'd like to keep updates limited to the game data assembly layer. That means for now I'll leave the "Control All Canals Between Territories To Pass" property unaltered.

    We could even remove the <territoryAttachment> node altogether, eg: <territory name="Quebec"> <owner value="Canadians"/> <unitProduction value="3" /> <kamikazeZone value="true" /> <placements> : : Thoughts? For canals, they attach to multiple territories, nesting underneath one territory would potentially not be as helpful as it could be. Here is an example of what we have today: <attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="25 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.s trategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment> <attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="100 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment> I think that might be better as one 'canal' tag. It's a really good call-out - though if it's going to be a different tag then perhaps topic for another thread (thread created: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2269/proposal-simpler-canal-node)

    Second combat movement phase

    Well I have played with it a little more. If the area one attacks during the first combat phase is still enemy-controlled at the end of the first combat phase (either because you just attack with air units or because there is a ground unit but it does not survive the attack), then during the second combat movement phase you can move a friendly ground unit into the area and then directly into another enemy-controlled area. Otherwise, you can move into the attacked, now-friendly-controlled area, but not then move from there into an enemy-controlled area. Then I tried putting the second combat movement and combat at the very end of the turn, after the EndTurn phase and now it works, I can move into the previously attacked area (whether it is friendly-controlled or enemy-controlled) and from there directly into an enemy-controlled area. You cannot use air units to support any attack you make in the second combat phase (because they had to land during noncombat movement). But this does not bother me. If anyone has a better way to do this please let me know.

    @Numetalfan The saved game carries a copy of the xml used to create the game. Any changes made to the xml will not show in a saved game. To test changes you have to always start a new game. Cheers...

    Hi everyone!

    I have another question about Seamine placement,

    How seamines should work:

    Can be placed on any Sea Zone if there is a friendly warship (requiresUnits:)
    It shouldnt need a Factory, yet when i playtest it i get an error:

    "no factory in or adjacent to Sea Zone..."

    Am i doing something wrong?

    @Ramon No problem! I ran into the same problem when making changes to my North Africa map. Black_Elk made very cool reliefTiles for our map, but I didn't know how he made them. So when changing some territory borders, the reliefTiles didn't update along with them. I tried several things and what I described above ended up working the best. You can still see that the map is slightly darker at the places where the change happened, but I still tried my best to conceal it.

    The best thing actually to do is trying to contact the map maker! However, the map maker for NML is Black_Elk, and when I contacted him for North Africa, he didn't reply. But maybe you have more success!
