    @alkexr All you need to do is to rename the objective tab inside the objectives file. Simply insert this on the fist line in the file... Objectives.Panel.Name=Technologies (Of course you would obviously want a name that would put a smile on Mr. Tolkiens face)

    @hepps heh heh : ) well having different dice sides for defense and offense seems to work. It was hitting at 1 out of 6 so i made it 1 out of 12 since it's getting 2 shots. My limited understanding says this should be the same probability of a hit, but I'm not completely sure about that. Anyway...Rock on : ) Edit yea I thought my math was flawed. Here's a couple cool sites that explain and compute it in case anyone is interested: http://www.edcollins.com/backgammon/diceprob.htm http://www.geteasysolution.com/44-is-what-percent-of-144 Still wasn't able to do exactly what I wanted but it came out pretty close. Ended up with two shots at a 1 in 10 on which gives the DD a 19% chance of a hit as opposed to 16.7% with a 1 in 6 and also gives it a 10% chance of a hit when the sub tries to sneak by

    In order to make the subs able to attack, I had to place them after the American non combat move (<option name="when" value="after:americanNonCombatMove"/>). I could not place them attached to americanPlace or americanEndTurn because that created an immobile sub the first turn.

    @general_zod Good idea. That should make it so you can create a ring of territories with the territoryEffect preventing movement around the 10 or so you want them to be able to move to.

    @prussia The method you are trying to use by switching the tech on and off has a terrible side effect. Anyone that uses the battle calculator won't get accurate outcomes while the tech is off. So advance planning will be very difficult.

    @hepps Yeah the ww2v2 and ww2v3 will pretty much have to be code investigation as no one really has a grasp on what they control and it isn't documented any where.

    @rogercooper Yeah, I'd like to eventually get rid of some of the properties as they are really unnecessary. Only benefit they provide is if you want to allow them to be editable game options and the map works well both ways but honestly that is pretty rare.

    @hepps The area-movement WW2 game Blitz had an air-only connection across the English channel. I don't see how you could even do that in TripleA.

    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
