    @butterw A quick thought, the unit count for human players could be; Traffic lighted, eg. Green(low numbers), Amber(medium numbers), Red(high numbers) Ideally the above bandings would not be fixed, but would be dynamic, based on the largest stack on the current map for the current turn, although this might not be possible. If it was fixed then some maps with low unit count might never get to the higher banding. Whatever you decide, put me down for giving feedback.

    in ww2 air units couldn't effectively be stopped by naval units and torpedo/dive bombers did have the ability to directly target capital ships.

    @beelee I downloaded the Windows version of Pinta and it worked with a few clicks, impressive. It coped easily with the resizing of the image and the opacity of the blockade.png.

    @Schulz I think I understand what you are saying. You do not need to "turn off" '<stepProperty name="resetUnitStateAtStart" value="true"/>'. All this does is reset/clear Unit states, which is also done at the end of Non-Combat Movement by default. The only change to game play will only appear when units are spawned, this will allow then to move during the same turn that they appear. If the units do not spawn, that's ok, there should be no effect. '<stepProperty name="resetUnitStateAtStart" ' value can not be changed with triggers. But from what I understand by what you are describing that should be okay. Cheers...

    @beelee I think it is only supported on a 1:* basis. I don't think anyone has ever suggested doing it the other way.

    @rogercooper As a alternative to the Feudal Japan approach a custom game property RUS AI can be set manually if Russians are to be played by the AI. <property name="RUS AI" value="true" editable="true"/> "movementRestrictionTerritories" is a player "RulesAttachment", a trigger can overwrite the value. <attachment name="rulesAttachment" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRus1" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name='gameProperty' value='RUS AI'/> </attachment> <attachment name="triggerAttachmentRus1" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentRus1"/> <option name="when" value="before:russianPurchase"/> <option name="playerAttachmentName" value="RulesAttachment" count="rulesAttachment"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="movementRestrictionTerritories" count="India:15 Sea Zone"/> <option name="playerProperty" value="movementRestrictionType" count="disallowed"/> <option name='uses' value='1'/> </attachment> I'm only testing the trigger once based on "RUS AI". To apply/clear movementRestrictionTerritories based on the ownership of India, I think you would need 2 opposite triggers based on conditionAttachmentRus1. If RUS_AI: trigger1 (set movementRestrictionTerritories) else: trigger2 (clear movementRestrictionTerritories).

    @zaroph I've just learned and decided to use another method which randomize unit distributions instead set ups; Example; <variable name="DervishConscript"> <element name="Eritrea"/> <element name="Cibuti"/> <element name="Aksum"/> <element name="Dessie"/> <element name="Adama"/> <element name="Gondar"/> </variable> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentr1" attachTo="Germany" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="rounds" value="1"/> </attachment> <attachment foreach="$DervishConscript$" name="triggerAttachmentDervishConscript@DervishConscript@" attachTo="Dervish" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentr1"/> <option name="placement" value="@DervishConscript@:conscript" count="1"/> <option name="players" value="Dervish"/> <option name="chance" value="1:2"/> <option name="when" value="before:germanyCombatMove"/> </attachment>

    @schulz yea I don't think you can have the values without the text. At least you couldn't a few years ago. Kind of a bummer. I asked about trying to get em to show with just hover or add to the bottom bar, but that idea wasn't accepted.

    @beelee Idk if you can change the display or not but POS2 just has "Turn Complete" <delegate name="endTurnNoPU" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.NoPUEndTurnDelegate" display="Turn Complete"/> Doesn't have "...No PU" in it I first tried it with "Turn Complete but it didnt work so it was something I changed to see if it did work. However it seems that ive solved it now. I changed <step name="bloodelvesEndTurnNoPU" delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="BloodElves"/> to <step name="bloodelvesEndTurn" delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="BloodElves"/> And it seems to work now. Seems weird to me that they have to have the same name even tho they are different things.

    Trigger Not Firing Correctly

    @beelee The problem might be with the conditions/'when'. I think control of a territory after battle is not changed until 'endTurn' so checking 'after:japanCombat' will always be false. By removing the 'when' the trigger is checked at 'endTurn' and fires. Cheers...

    @Ramon said:

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    This is a condition statement and is checking if player owns a sea zone.

    Cheers...

    @Ramon

    For a new TTy you will need the correct xml info and then do the centers poly thing as well as drawing the new TTy.

    I forget the specifics but I'd pick a TTy and follow it through the xml adding the new name next to it. You can add the connections later but it shouldn't hurt to do it now either.

    Once the xml is up to date, follow Elk's guide step by step. @thedog probably more up to date on it than I 🙂

    If need be, we'll bring in reinforcements if you get stuck 🙂

    Hi, @TheDog

    I noticed the top line:

    <attachment foreach="$All-Players$^$All-SZ$" name="conditionAttachment_SZ_@All-Players@_@All-SZ@" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player">
    <option name="DirectOwnershipTerritories" value="@All-SZ@" count="1"/>
    </attachment>

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    I dont know honestly, but thanks for all the help! Let me know if you somehow find a fix!

    Another question regarding map creater tool.

    I'm editing a map right now (domination 1914 NML).

    and following this guide: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3432/a-brief-guide-to-the-map-creator-tools-utilities

    Splitting territories in two has worked for me, but creating new territories (islands as example) works differently? I cant get it to work, i assume its different from dividing excisting territories but how does this work?

    Same goes for sea zones, does that also work different?

    Thank you!

    @ramon

    I think the condition that activates the trigger/condition has to come before the trigger/condition.

    Also, other things will still work but depending on where they're listed, will affect how they show up in the purchase window for example.

    Support attachments as well but I don't remember the specifics. WC clued me in on it. I need to look it up again.
