    @wc_sumpton Thank you! This works exactly as intended. I appreciate both the solution and the fact that you took the time to explain what was going wrong and how to fix it! I feel much better now and I should be able to finish my mod.

    Is the TipleA engine sufficient to run this hypothetical map?

    @cernel It depends on how much support is provided by Java Swing to render webp. Though, the big gains will be from simplifying the code and not storing in memory images that are unnecessary. The mini-map is stored in memory at full size and is constantly shrunk down to the small mini-map size (that is a large chunk of memory usage right there). So, a better format could have some gains if it is efficiently handled.

    @simon33 You can use the "Tile Image Reconstructor' under Map Tools/Optional things. It the changes is minor, you can try editing the polygons.txt file and other files directly.

    @Myrd I understand that 'canalAttachment' is used to connect sea zones with land zone restrictions. But it can also be used to connect land zones. One of the first modifications could be to allow the option "landTerritories" to accept sea zone (this might already be allowed), and the uses of a key word like "None". Then all that would need to be done is allow the use of 'territoryEffect' be attached to the 'canalAttachment'. Not simple I understand. Also, a change to the 'territoryEffect' to add a limit to the number of combat rounds. These are my thoughts. Cheers...

    @myrd Only one I know of is "hitsTaken". <unitPlacement unitType="battleship" territory="97 Sea Zone" quantity="1" owner="Italians" hitsTaken="1"/> but this only works with the auto repair not damaged ones you'd pay for. I just copied how hepps did it in TWW but still need to use edit at the start to get the hitpoint damage right.

    @unternehmer I think everyone here is going for excessive complexity. Professional armies always build field fortifications of a type appropriate for the conflict. There should not be a need to have a separate PU cost or choices about what type to build. Just have the units make the field fortifications for free and use triggers or special attacks to remove excessive numbers of fortifications. Or ignore the entire issue and give the units extra strength on defense.

    Hi @ebbe So you have a Sea unit that has transport capacity that when the missle unit is on board it gives support to the Sea/Naval unit ? If so, I remember someone wanted something similar a while back but I never followed up on it. I'm not sure if supportAttachment recognizes cargo on a transport. Haven't tried it. I think I was gonna try and use unitPresence, the missile unit in this case, to trigger the support or change the combat values with <option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/> then trigger back if there weren't any present. I never tried it tho. I'll think on it some

    @cernel To clarify, in v1 submarines should indeed fire separately from other defending units if there are offending air units but together if there are no offending air units. Anyway, the separate step in which only defending submarines fire should not be called as "first strike" or anything like that. I defer to @Panther for confirmation.

    Is it possible to run a trigger for each unit found via unitPresence?

    I looked at the engine code around createsUnitsList and it doesn't look like it will work. The relevant code is in EndTurnDelegate.java. } else if (!uaToCreate.getIsSea() && !uaToCreate.getIsAir() && t.isWater()) { toAddLand.addAll(ut.create(createsUnitsMap.getInt(ut), player)); ... if (!toAddLand.isEmpty()) { final Predicate<Territory> myTerrs = Matches.isTerritoryOwnedBy(player).and(Matches.territoryIsLand()); final Collection<Territory> landNeighbors = data.getMap().getNeighbors(t, myTerrs); if (!landNeighbors.isEmpty()) { final Territory location = getRandomTerritory(data, landNeighbors, bridge); createUnits(location, toAddLand, change, endTurnReport); } } So basically, for any land units that would be created at sea, we instead find a random neighboring land territory owned by the player and create the units there. No considerations for transports are given. I suppose engine changes could be done to support different semantics, but given this whole line of thinking is already trying to workaround a different engine limitation - perhaps that one could be addressed directly, i.e. making unitPresence support each (either as a multiplication on top of each on directPresenceTerritories if both are used, or not allowing multiple each values on different options).

    @myrd If you are trying to exactly replicate the boardgame, it is going to be complicated and I don't have anything better for you.

    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.
