    @cernel "Russia" territory in vX series not only represent Moscow, it represent all the areas between Moscow and Ural Mountains v3 actually proved that Manchuria-Moscow distance can be increased but in the expense of making Japan incredibly strong to keep game balance. It actually changed nothing since it is still amost always better to go Atlantic only as USA. Plus there is still no reason to not attack Russia and Japan and take almost all Siberia. If there is a Hawaiian factory and Germany can be reasonably countered without USA (like in Big World or WaW), a Pacific war is a guarantee thing but expense of (unhistorically) lack of significant US presence in Europe. But we would still have no two ocean going USA. It is easy to make Pacific an active front, hardest thing is making the actual US approach in WWII (%80 Atlantic-%20 Pacific) is a good choice rather than going only Atlantic and Pacific. I think the issue is actually based on having naval units too expensive compared to ground units and lack of more defense oriented sea units hence making a Pacific war worthless investment as USA.

    @lafayette right on yea I wanted to have a "map option" activate which rd the game would start for games that have multiple scenarios with different start dates. That way I could keep it all in 1 xml and not have to update multiple ones. Only way I know of, is to make a trigger for each instance that would need adjusting, which is a lot. I thought if it was possible to only do a couple code lines and bingo, it would be sweet lol

    @thedog said in How to place units in allied or major/minor territory?: I would try creating more units, the indian units will need to end with say; Indian units Infantry_in Tanks_in factory_in These units must specify the factory they can be produced from with <option name="requiresUnits" value="factory_in/> British units Tanks_br Fighter_br factory_br These units must specify the factory they can be produced from with <option name="requiresUnits" value="factory_br"/> Then the two factories can produce only their national units. In your idea you will get units produced by the faction on its own factory located in its own territory? If "yes", then, sorry, your idea is not relevant to this topic.

    @thedog Take a look at these objectives from Global <attachment name="objectiveAttachment_Italians_3_North_Africa" attachTo="Italians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="objectiveValue" value="5"/> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="Alexandria:Morocco:Algeria:Tunisia:Tobruk:Libya" count="6"/> </attachment> <attachment name="objectiveAttachment_Italians_4_Control_Iraq_Or_Persia_Or_Northwest_Persia" attachTo="Italians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="objectiveValue" value="2"/> <option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Iraq:Persia:Northwest Persia" count="each"/> </attachment> Attachment 3 counts the number of territories held by Italy and the other Axis powers. Although this is an objective attachment, it could just as easily be a triggered victory. Attachment 4 counts only the territories held by Italy ("directOwnership").

    @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.

    @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">

    @Ramon said:

    Is it possible to give the player a choice? either buy 6 dice or dont buy any?

    Create it as a purchasable item:

    <productionRule name="buyTechTokens"> <cost resource="PUs" quantity="20"/> <result resourceOrUnit="techTokens" quantity="6"/> </productionRule>

    and add to the production of each player. The triggers are not needed when doing this.
    "userActions" can be used:

    <attachment name="userActionAttachment_Japanese_Purchase_6TT" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="UserActionAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Is_Japanese_Not_AI"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachment_Give_Japanese_6_techTokens"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachment_Take_20_PUs_From_Japanese"/> <option name="text" value="Japanese_6TT"/> <option name="attemptsPerTurn" value="1"/> </attachment>

    Then the actionstext.properties:

    Japanese_6TT.BUTTON=[Purchase] Japanese_6TT.DESCRIPTION=Purchase 6 techTokens for 20 PUs. Japanese_6TT.NOTIFICATION_SUCCESS=You have purchased 6 techTokens for 20 PUs. Japanese_6TT.OTHER_NOTIFICATION_SUCCESS=The Japanese have purchased 6 techTokens for 20 PUs.

    There are 2 problems with this approach. The AI does not use "userActions". This can be checked by using "isAI":

    <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Is_Japanese_AI" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="isAI" value="true"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Is_Japanese_Not_AI" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Is_Japanese_AI"/> <option name="invert" value="true"/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachment_Japanese_Purchase_6TT" attachTo="Japanese" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Is_Japanese_AI"/> <option name="chance" value="3:6"/> <option name="chanceIncrementOnFailure" value="1"/> <option name="chanceDecrementOnSuccess" value="1"/> <option name="notification" value="Japanese_6TT"/> <option name="when" value="before:JapaneseTech"/> <option name="players" value="@All-Players@"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachment_Give_Japanese_6_techTokens"/> <option name="activateTrigger" value="triggerAttachment_Take_20_PUs_From_Japanese"/> </attachment>

    The other problem is there is no way to test if Japanese have the 20PUs, they will always be able to purchase the 6 techTokens.

    Cheers...

    there it is. I knew I'd remember if I just saw it again lol.

    Good luck Ramon. You have the A Team helping you. If those guys can't figure it out, then it can't be done.

    Then they will have to make engine changes 🙂

    @Ramon I think the best way to do this is to add a territoryEffect called "Land", add the territory effect to every land territory in the game, then create a territoryEffectAttachment for "Land" with the option "unitsNotAllowed", as WC said above.

    First specify this after relationshipTypes and before gamePlay

    <territoryEffectList> <territoryEffect name="Land"/> </territoryEffectList>

    Then add this to every territoryAttachment of land territories. You can probably use AI to speed up this process.

    <attachment name="territoryAttachment" attachTo="Albania" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TerritoryAttachment" type="territory"> ... <option name="territoryEffect" value="Land"/> ... </attachment>

    Lastly, add this:

    <attachment name="territoryEffectAttachment" attachTo="Land" javaClass="TerritoryEffectAttachment" type="territoryEffect"> <option name="unitsNotAllowed" value="FlyingBoat"/> </attachment>
