I think the version discussion boils down to utility vs complexity (specifically the complexity to understand and communicate how to use the map.yml version field).

There is a discussion open in github issues whether to bake categories into map.yml which would put it under map maker control and alleviate the map admin team from an ongoing upkeep task.

Deployment wise, remaining we'll need to generate a map.yml for every repo and upload it presumably to the top-most directory of each map. FWIW this should be not that bad, currently the map engine is now rigged to generate a map.yml file for any downloaded maps that do not have it, we'd only need to take the generated file and upload it.

Otherwise, does the current map.yml look good and is it clear? The XML path I think is maybe the most error prone and it's the path of any game XML relative to the map.yml file. If the map.yml file is at the top level of a map (expected), then the XML path is really just the path to the XML file from the map folder..

Last, hopefully it's also well understood that game and map name will now come from the map.yml file and the corresponding XML attributes would be considered deprecated and no longer read by 2.6+ engines.

The map.yml also removes the need for a map repository or map zip to have any kind of specific naming to match the map name in the XML, the map repo and zip could have any reasonable name and would essentially no longer matter.

@Contango right on 🙂 i had forgot about that. Glad you got it working

@Schulz Check this thread... worked beautifully for @ebbe

@Contango No, but the feature has been requested before. You should make a formal feature request.

As workaround you could have a trigger based upon control of a specific number of a list of territories. I don't know what would happen if the same territory appeared on the list more than once.

"Economic Victory" allows you to do this, but only for ending the game with a victory.

I only play against the AI. I would agree with RogerCooper the more units the slower the AI. I would add that if a lot of the units move 2+ this will also slow the game down.

@TorpedoA I think Hepps uses 12 in total world war. Gives a lot more flexibility. I've never done it myself. Just mod existing games

@TorpedoA You'd have to test this... but I fear you may run into issues as there is no way trigger a unit change in the midst of the combat phase. Not sure how the scramble and Kamikaze attachments will interact when the unit remains in the territory it scrambled to.

@JOSEPH-PRINCE @Hepps Thanks guys for the images.... I am ending this Thread and will move to a new one with the name:
GLOBAL WWII OIL & SNOW-Project

( https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2592/global-wwii-oil-snow-project ) as I am heading for sharing on github soon.... ( and having plans for a side project next month )
thanks al for sharing , teaching and feedbacking me so far!

One does not simply take a very good looking "big" multi-coloured image and shrink it down to about 48 per 48 pixels to obtain a very good looking "small" image. The likely result is a bad looking image.

The way the eyesight works is that the colour from a point is decreasingly spread over nearby visual areas in our perceived image, so images using few pixels have each pixel dirtying with its colour all nearby pixels, whereas such effect is virtually irrelevant for big images.

@beelee

Hi, I did all steps including upload and changing ownership

can you check this? Hope I've done all correctly

@LaFayette can anybody do this ? Or is there a bot person that one can ask to update ? I think prastle used to do bot stuff but not anymore.

At any rate, thanks for the explanation.

@Numetalfan add another condition to your trigger. Something like:

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentTurn2OrHigher" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
<option name="rounds" value="2-+"/>
</attachment>

I think the -+ makes it fire after round 2 as well. i can't remember

@TorpedoA Sounds way sweet. Bet you have a lot of good ideas. I'll try and check it out soon.

Our tech ideas came from Age of Tribe's tech tree!

Incredible this worked!

In my game, AI does place Bunkers if i purchased them by trigger. But the AI does ignore the maxConstruction per Terr.

Thanks alot. I will try.

@Numetalfan Seems strange to have (what I would presume to be) 2 very different units being used to create the same defensive unit upon merging.
