  @Cernel A common request has been the ability to have countries join alliances. I wonder if the chaining property works that way (except for the display screen).

  @Redrum @Cernel Thanks for the help guys! I have chosen to just use the last set of conditions and triggers made by Redrum. They seem to work as intended. I must admid though that I don’t really grasp the technical process happening in those triggers. Maybe if I studied them for some days, I could realize how they work

  @Schulz There is a territory in Russia. If Russia holds it, Russia gets 6. If Germany,Italy, or another enemy take it, they only earn 3. You have two ways The territory's production is set to 6. You create a national objective for all enemy nations that generates -3 PUs if they control this territory. The territory's production is set to 3. Russia has a national objective that gives an extra 3 PUs if it holds that territory. Look at the Pact of Steel 2 XML to see examples and how to make national objectives.

  TWW Prevent Scuttling of Toulon Fleet Use UserActions to give Germany the option to attempt to prevent scuttling of Toulon Fleet Shows how to use UserActions which activate multiple triggers and number of attempts depend on conditions <attachment name="conditionAttachmentVichyMat" attachTo="VichyFrance" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentMorroccoVichy:conditionAttachmentAlgeriaVichy"/> <option name="conditionType" value="2"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentVichyProtectorateLost" attachTo="VichyFrance" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentVichyMat"/> <option name="invert" value="true"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentSZ44VichyBattleship" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="44 Sea Zone" count="1"/> <option name="unitPresence" value="vichyBattleship:vichyBattleship-damaged" count="1"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentSZ44RemoveVichyBattleship" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="removeUnits" value="44 Sea Zone:vichyBattleship"/> <option name="removeUnits" value="44 Sea Zone:vichyBattleship-damaged"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentSZ44PlaceGermanBattleship" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="chance" value="2:12"/> <option name="placement" value="44 Sea Zone:germanBattleship"/> </attachment> <attachment name="userActionAttachmentGermanySaveVichyBattleship" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UserActionAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentVichyProtectorateLost:conditionAttachmentSZ44VichyBattleship"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachmentSZ44RemoveVichyBattleship:1:false:false:false:false"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachmentSZ44PlaceGermanBattleship:1:false:false:false:true"/> <option name="text" value="GERMANS_SAVE_BATTLESHIP"/> <option name="costResources" value="1:PUs"/> <option name="attemptsPerTurn" value="99"/> </attachment> This UserAction which deals with the Toulon Fleet battleship uses conditions on the Vichy protectorate being lost and the battleship still existing in SZ44 (damaged or undamaged). The user is presented the user action only when those are true during Germany's UserAction phase and it cost them 1 PU to have a 2/12 chance of saving the battleship. If selected, it fires 2 triggers: 1 to remove the Vichy battleship which always fires and 1 to add a German battleship which uses chance to have a 2/12 chance of success. The UserAction has 99 attemptsPerTurn (essentially unlimited) so is really limited by the condition on there being a Vichy battleship in SZ44 so the option will appear to the user for as many battleships as are in the Toulon Fleet. Similar UserActions are used for each of the other type of ship in the Toulon Fleet.

  @Cernel said: ... Maybe @Panther can check this, as I've scarce interest in tech, but I believe the only ruleset that allows getting more than 1 tech per turn is Classic (v1). That's correct.

  Depends on how you value territories. Strategic/geographical and morale boosting to a countries people can(usually is) be a determination of value also. Obviously, from a raw material stand point, midway islands are not worth anything. From a strategic point, quite a bit. Just depends on how you want to do it. "World in Flames" is supposed to be the best WWII game for realism. Sadly, I've never played it and last I checked, no longer an online option.

  Moved to Mapmaking, as, while there is a map reference, I think this is more of a general matter, that may apply to various maps.

  So, guess moving this to mapmaking, as I understand it is more of a discussion about how to make games in some ways, so I suppose it belongs to the development part of the forum.

  I am moving this thread to the Map Making category as the thread essentially is about how to make a map/mod with the discussed player setup.

  @Stonewall571 Hi Stonewall Not hard to change, but as cernel says, you have to make a separate mod to the existing map. Which isn't that hard either. Which map are you trying to change ?

  @CrazyG Well mostly the good habits are the opposite of the bad ones But I think the key tends to be that there are a lot of options so you get a good variety of moves/buys turn 1 and the map plays differently every game. You want some randomness as well but not huge 50/50 battles that end up deciding the game the first round. Generally having some interconnected threaters of war helps make it so each player has different options on what to focus on. Many maps don't actually do this very well and most of the moves are no brainers. NWO/WaW/TRS are examples of really bad initial unit/factory placements as the first 3-4 turns play out almost the same way every time to the point I've seen players take a save at say the start of turn 3 and just play from that again and again. Probably TWW and Civil War have maybe the most interesting initial setup options as they tend to play out pretty differently every play through and almost every player has a different preferred opening. Once you get to UK1 in TWW, things can have played out pretty differently and the UK has tons of options on what to focus on (pressure France vs pressure Scandinavia vs support Egypt/Med vs support Southeast Asia) as well as what to build.

  It is within the jar file at /games/strategy/engine/xml/game.dtd, but you could've also just searched on github https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/game-core/src/main/resources/games/strategy/engine/xml/game.dtd
