    Also pointing out that, in a game like TripleA, where 1 round may be several months, but you can perform 1 single movement with each air unit, that movement is representing a number of going back and forth from the two territories you are landing on (that may be the same if you land where you started), as many as the implied real time would allow, at least in my mind. So, say, if you have 1 infantry and 1 transport, and the transport can transport 1 infantry per turn, that infantry should be the amount that you can transport over the course of the implied real time represented by the round (assuming you have 1 turn per round). Similarly, for example, in a game where "Germany" is a single territory, and you bomb it from "United Kingdom", landing in there too, I see that like those bombers doing that same operation for many times over, in game being simplified by you doing it only once.

    @Stohrm Engines like Unity & Unreal are basically physics engines which allow game-play. If you don't need physics, you are better off with an engine that does not have the overhead of a physics engine.

    @redrum well not any simple solutions it appears. I see it's closed now as well. If one were to start from scratch, could you then make the canal thingy like a game property or something to that effect ? Then the old maps would still work as long as the new canal thing wasn't activated ? Or would there be conflicts between the two that wouldn't allow it ? I'm guessing starting from scratch would be labor intensive from a time standpoint as well ? At any rate, thanks for the link and reply. My fantasy of actually trying to learn how to do stuff like that has run into the reality of my small cranium

    @redrum One way or another, if this can be confirmed, I would push an update to officialise it in pos2, unless a developer wants to do it himself. Logical or not, at least let it be known. If then, anything gets reworked, pos2 would be updated anyways.

    Problem fixed (before I have seen @Cernels post) I removed the line with option name="players" completely from supportAttachment, and then it works fine. I guess it is not needed anyway as only humans have Arthur unit. Thx @Cernel and @wc_sumpton

    @RogerCooper Here you can see in pure red all the pixels that were not pure black or white in your image. If you modified anything with the aim to have the utilities working, I suggest you go back and make purely black-and-white the original image (or post it here) (I use GIMP): [image: 1570619051767-guadacanal-cernel002.png]

    @SLW2000 Please, take a look at the descriptions. "Maps & Mods" says: "Talk about and work on specific Maps and Mods". Moving this thread to Mapmaking. When you will have your specific map or mod, feel free to open a thread about that in "Maps & Mods" (though I still suggest opening threads in Mapmaking for the technicalities, to keep your thread cleaner for general feedback).

    @RogerCooper Since we have clarified that there is no issue here (except maybe the mapmaking tools being not very intuitive), I'm moving this to Mapmaking (and editing the title back @Lafayette).

    @Windrunner21 Here is where all your currently downloaded maps should be located... [image: 1567724208247-directory.png] From there what you want to do is copy any of the maps you want to examine and paste them somewhere else on your computer. I personally just made a folder on my desktop called Triple A related. Once you have all the maps in the new folder you should unzip them so that it is easier to access all the sub folders inside each one. Once you have a map folder unzipped it will look like this... [image: 1567724659981-map-folder2.png] The XML is inside the Games folder. (Note if the map has more than one game variants you will see mulptile XMLs inside). As far as opening the XML you want to use Notepad or some other reader program. I personally use Notepad++ that I downloaded free.

    @RogerCooper @Cernel @Hepps As my ideas for this mod have morphed, those two are probably the closest ones yet. Thanks! I will probably still end up wanting to change them eventually, but I can definitely make some tweaks like impassible or 0 PU territories to make them work for now. Thanks again!!

    Unit Flags - Are there any maps that would like to default it to on?

    @LaFayette said in Unit Flags - Are there any maps that would like to default it to on?: players who always turn on flags for specific maps. In those cases it seems there is evidence flags should be on. Then again, I suspect most people did not realize the flags feature was there or how to turn it on. I'd guess we won't know the answer to "for which maps do users turn flags on?" without adding feature usage tracking code. (Perhaps I'm wrong though and there are some maps that are clear candidates.)

    I still cannot get 8188A Steam & Steel to work, but Im hoping you have success and then I will raise this with the Devs.

    In 8188A Steam & Steel, if you are hooking too the endTurn, then your process is working. But the endTurrn happens at the beginning. Try attaching after the battle step.
    Why battle? Because only combat move and battle change ownership. Non-combat move and placement do not. So, during the players first turn when sea units are placed the territory does not change ownership until the next combat move.

    Cheers...

    Note you will need to do steps

    player none=Neutral must be have an initial relationship of Neutral with the Player factions, see lines 6977 etc player none=Neutral start of turn 1 is changed to War, see lines 5913-5931

    The above is a bizzare requirement that should not exist.
