    @thedog said in What for isAA is better suitable: artillery barrage or another attack / defense type?: You can also use <option name="isFirstStrike" value="true"/> for land battles So the order is AA First Strike Basic Atk / Def So maybe you can do what you want like this AA = AA & Indirect Fire First Strike = Direct Fire Anti Tank & direct HE Basic = Infantry fire & close range fire Dear @TheDog, as I have already mentioned, I use the option «isFirstStrike» and moreover I combine this option with «canNotTarget», «canNotBeTargetedBy», «canEvade», «canAirBattle» and «canScramble» for land units. But still there is a problem that «isFirstStrike» can represent the range difference (or the mobile warfare or the sudden strike etc.) but not another attack / defense type like the option «isAA» with its sub-option «targetsAA». It would be great to have such a sub-option like «targetsFirstStrike» but as we currently don’t have such an option you cannot use by your tank unit «isFirstStrike» to attack anti-tank gun and then basic attack against infantry.

    @beelee Really? It's quite old - but really nice. I noticed it in sea battles years ago and wondered about it until I realized that it was a somehow funny description about what friendly units "do" when not attacking together with the currently active player.

    @stohrm splitting the two theaters was a reality, how ever you are in essence creating two new 'countries' by combing the units. I think this would best be served by keeping alliance armies whole and allowing each country to add to it with their separate productions. This way allowing them to also run their own combats apart from the combined army.

    @stohrm Why use a transfer of resources at all? You could get the same effect through a national objective or triggered event.

    @lafayette I'm just waiting around for a reply to a query I posted late last night (early this AM); but I have to say that I agree with you (and what follows are my 2 cents). An RC-135 is a Cargo Plane and the Air Force does use it to transport service members and their family members. It's damn cold, but it gets them from point A to B to C, etc. Just saying. PS. I don't recall them ever refitting a B-52 to hull troops and do believe there should be a distinction between bombers and Cargo Planes. On the other hand, Cargo planes have been used to hull Paratroopers...

    @rogercooper your line <option name="victoryCity" value="1"/> is outside of the required attachment , it should be inside. <attachment name="territoryAttachment" attachTo="Berlin" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TerritoryAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="production" value="12"/> <option name="capital" value="Germans"/> </attachment> <option name="victoryCity" value="1"/>

    Unfortunately i have a bigger problem now. When having more than 1 trigger, they will both fire sometimes. I've tried multiple combinations with "when" and without it. Tried changing the trigger"true:true:false:false" to different combinations. No joy. This is my latest attempt <attachment name="triggerAttachment_USA_Loses_Marianas_Pacific_Expanded_Turn2andON" attachTo="Americans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Americans_ControlMarianasInvert:conditionAttachmentTurn3"/> <option name="resource" value="PUs"/> <option name="resourceCount" value="-1"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="when" value="before:americansEndTurn"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachment_USA_Loses_Marianas_Pacific_Expanded_Turn2" attachTo="Americans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Americans_LoseEXPMarianasTurn2:conditionAttachmentTurn2"/> <option name="resource" value="PUs"/> <option name="resourceCount" value="-1"/> <option name="uses" value="1"/> <option name="when" value="after:americansNonCombatMove"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachment_USA_Loses_Marianas_Pacific_Expanded_Turn2andON:1:true:true:false:false"/> </attachment> I have the same trigger for Paulau Island. Named differently of course. What I want, is to have the "activate trigger" trigger fire only after the trigger that activates it fires. What happens is, the USA takes Marianas from JPN. This activates a PU boost. USA gets it. Next rd, Turn 2, JPN takes Marianas. They now get the PU boost and the USA receives a negative PU boost. This activates the trigger which has Turn 3 as a condition for it to fire, but it fires anyway, even though it's still turn 2. So when USA takes over Marianas they get a PU boost. When JPN takes it back, the USA gets a negative one. This works correctly. I want the USA to continue to receive a negative bonus until they take it back. This is not working. I use "battle" in the conditions for the first trigger, then "directOwnership" invert for the trigger to activate. Meaning Rd1 USA takes Marianas and gets a PU boost. Then if USA loses control the next turn, which is JPN attacking USA and having a battle <option name="battle" value="Japanese:Americans:any:2-3:Marianas"/> it will activate the trigger which should then fire on turn 3 if USA doesn't control Marianas. So condition Turn 3 and InvertOwnership, that way it would still get the negative bonus without a battle on turn 3. Hmm ... I don't like how I explained this but I'll just leave it for now.

    Lol, I should have specified that when I talk about the rules I exclusively mean the v1-v6 rulesets.

    I can't know what the intentions (or intended specific game-(house-) rules behind those "placementWhatever" rules might be, as these are usually used to override those core game-rules, as it seems.

  • @Panther

    Why are unplaced construction units being placed only into production territories or adjacent sea zones owned since the start of turn?
    Why when using rule "placementCapturedTerritory" are unplaced units still limited to production territories and their adjacent sea zones owned since the start of turn?
    Why when using rule "placementAnyTerritory" are unplaced units now allowed to be placed in captured territories. This is also including those sea zones adjacent to captured production territories?
    Why when using rule "placementAnySeaZone" along with "placementAnyTerritory" are sea unis still restricted to sea zones adjacent to production territories? And why is this still also including sea zones adjacent to captured production territories?
    Why are the rules so different for the AI to place unplaced units?

    Cheers...

  • Is this what should happen?
    Components of this problem

    rulesAttachment has placementCapturedTerritory" value="true"
    This allows for the placement of units in the same turn as they were captured.

    Order of delegates in xml speak
    A&A style Purchase before Combat
    Purchase> Combat move>Combat> Non-Combar move> Place> End Turn
    or
    New style Purchase after Combat
    Combat move>Combat> Non-Combat move> Purchase> Place> End Turn

    For Purchase before Combat
    The AI tries to purchase what it thinks it needs based on its current TT and then Places them.
    If PlacementCapturedTerritory=true then it should re-evaluate its Purchases/Place based on its new TT gains, yes? (As the gains might be better, closer to the enemy etc)

    Purchase after Combat
    If PlacementCapturedTerritory=true or false
    The logic is simpler, the AI purchases what it can place, yes?

    In the above mix, if the AI have been given units/factories from isAI/xml it should test for these first and not Purchase them,

    Is the above what should happen?
