    @redrum I think updating the pos2 makes sense for now since @Mahks says he will be the caretaker of XOB. He can copy them over to XOB until others can do it. The only issue would be he has to find the changes in the xml. Hmm, are you keeping an update log updated for POS2?

    [bug?] destroyedWhenCapturedFrom does not destroy infrastructure when territory is returned to allies during a capital liberation

    @elreigh Yes, without seeing the actual XML this is just a guess... but by what you described.... the game is trying to create and then subsequently render the image for an "Allied" Arcadia Motor Pool. The game is attempting to change the "Arcadia Motor Pool" into a unit of the Ally, but since the unit is designed as a national specific unit... it is trying to capture the unit as it is defined. This is not really a bug. I think it is just how you have designed the units. I have come across the same thing while designing. The other thing that is causing the conflict is that as Allies the game does not view the changing of the territory when the Capital is liberated as a "Capture" strictly speaking. Would really have to see your XML to figure it out.

    @mahks Here is a pretty good list of things it doesn't handle now: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/105/ai-development-discussion-and-feedback The further from traditional A&A features you use generally the AI will perform more poorly as most of them it doesn't understand.

    In regards to a new UI and videos, it might also be nice to be able to embed YouTube video into the notes or notifications. Perhaps this could be useful for examples, tutorials, map intros and stuff

    @elreigh Yeah. I'd recommend checking out Total World War XML as it already does some similar things for making air transports isInfra true then false.

    @theredbaron Yep, that's the general approach I like to take as otherwise I end up spending time making changes that might never get used But it should be relatively easy to replace the existing logic with something a bit less random.

    @elreigh Best guess 'Sea Zone' ownership. Water territories do not have ownership, give 'SZ Sea of Japan' an 'originalOwner' option in its 'territoryAttachment' and use 'alliedPresenceTerritories' in the trigger. Also check the property: <property name="Use Triggers" value="true" editable="false"> <boolean/> </property> Hope this helps Cheers...

    @Mahks I just delete the -master from the unzipped folder name. You should also just remove or delete the zip file from the triplea/downloademaps folder. Otherwise you will have to rename stuff as @frostion explained. An example of a functional unzipped folder structure is as follows: triplea/downloademaps/big_world_2/map And all the other game folders and files can go into the map folder.

    Yeah, Age of Tribes and Civil War are the most popular maps I know that have limited battle rounds. So they are probably the best references.

    @rabbitharrison I created a test map with 36 players, and it appears to be functional. Although I remember getting an error once because there were more than 20 players. I don't know whether it was a bug with the engine or the old map creator. It happened like 6-8 years ago, so anything could have happened since then.

    @beelee The manual placement picker is very cumbersome to work with. But on bright side your only doing switzerland. Good luck.

    @redrum Only Veqryn could really tell, but, to be clear, I think that objectives are like the simple support options and triggers are like the complete support attachments.

    It might be playable, I'm not sure. The names and the placements were being constantly changed wiping out all my work everytime, so I quit working on it.

    @Ramon I believe by default tech dice use the dice sides specified on the top of the XML (by default 6). So if you want to give tech a dice of 4, you'd be changing the dice sides that regular combat units use as well.

    If you want tech to be rolled with 4 dice sides and the other rolls with 6 dice sides, I think theoretically it would possible, but would it would be insanely complicated and require the use of a user action phase with a lot of nested triggers/conditions.

    Also, some of the stuff you want to implement that is currently not possible can be made possible by making changes to the engine. So if you'd like to see this happen, feel free to post a feature request here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
