    Thanks for pointing me to the property @Cernel ; I'd like to keep updates limited to the game data assembly layer. That means for now I'll leave the "Control All Canals Between Territories To Pass" property unaltered.

    We could even remove the <territoryAttachment> node altogether, eg: <territory name="Quebec"> <owner value="Canadians"/> <unitProduction value="3" /> <kamikazeZone value="true" /> <placements> : : Thoughts? For canals, they attach to multiple territories, nesting underneath one territory would potentially not be as helpful as it could be. Here is an example of what we have today: <attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="25 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.s trategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment> <attachment name="canalAttachmentCentral America - Colombia" attachTo="100 Sea Zone" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.CanalAttachment" type="territory"> <option name="canalName" value="the Central America - Colombia channel"/> <option name="landTerritories" value="Central America:Colombia"/> </attachment> I think that might be better as one 'canal' tag. It's a really good call-out - though if it's going to be a different tag then perhaps topic for another thread (thread created: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2269/proposal-simpler-canal-node)

    Second combat movement phase

    Well I have played with it a little more. If the area one attacks during the first combat phase is still enemy-controlled at the end of the first combat phase (either because you just attack with air units or because there is a ground unit but it does not survive the attack), then during the second combat movement phase you can move a friendly ground unit into the area and then directly into another enemy-controlled area. Otherwise, you can move into the attacked, now-friendly-controlled area, but not then move from there into an enemy-controlled area. Then I tried putting the second combat movement and combat at the very end of the turn, after the EndTurn phase and now it works, I can move into the previously attacked area (whether it is friendly-controlled or enemy-controlled) and from there directly into an enemy-controlled area. You cannot use air units to support any attack you make in the second combat phase (because they had to land during noncombat movement). But this does not bother me. If anyone has a better way to do this please let me know.

    @Numetalfan The saved game carries a copy of the xml used to create the game. Any changes made to the xml will not show in a saved game. To test changes you have to always start a new game. Cheers...

    Thanks a lot @RogerCooper. That does, what I want to do, in a very simple code. The only difference is that the tech development isn't known in turn 1. For instance the British don't know if the japanese might have long range aircraft and, thus, be able to make a full fledge attack on India i turn 1. But I can live with that when the alternative is to spend hours and hours trying to make triggers to more or less the same thing:) For other people who want to do this: In ressources you add this after PUs: <resource name="techTokens"/> In ressourceInitialize you add this after the PUs for each player <resourceGiven player="xxxx" resource="techTokens" quantity="60"/> In properties you add this: <property name="WW2V3 Tech Model" value="true" editable="false"> <boolean/> </property>

    @LaFayette not sure how i would but regardless even if the thing is using curves to match a gamut it will not be 100% as good an originally colored graphic some information is always lost when you do it it's just a matter of degrees and again often times the unit is not of one hue to begin with so yeah… maybe we've talked this one past death at this point.

    @wc_sumpton I'm pretty sure a grand re-write of map spec is going to take too long. If we freeze the current spec and have everyone wait, it'll be painful. Perhaps the key will be instead to just accept the complexity and create alternative forms of the XML so that it's flexible and we can get the expressiveness gains that you're seeking. I'm working on a system to upload maps to server, but that's really running into trouble with various technical debt issues and to do that properly I need to start from the beginning and clean up how we deal with maps. It won't be a quick project, but I think we can probably get in a position where supporting alternative XML forms will be easier and we can then add it in. At that rate I'd rather we go further with simplifications and really do it right. With that said, using technology for a base ability does seem like duct tape. With that said, I think if we want non-combat movement to be different from combat, we should build it in first class. WDYT at this point?

    @Frostion I actually tested that a little. I edited myself 99 planets! I find myself liking the tech model from age of tribes better. My biggest question about techs now has become do I want to display the researched techs like your backpack in your Warcraft map.

    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.

    @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.
