  @LaFayette said in AI Development Discussion and Feedback: I think AI handling alternative resource types exists as a feature request, but TBH I'm not completely sure it is. I don't see it listed. @ff03k64 you can make a request one thread above this one. Ahh I see you already made one. Please disregard

  I think it could be still possible with the current engine even if it does not work with neutral victory condition. It is possible to create passive nations like Mongolians in the Global War and in the Civil War looks like there are ways to create a victory condition with limiting rounds. Combining of them might provide draw option.

  @Zjelcop said in Lose the Loaded Dice: Perhaps the AI is making good use of this to bring enough units to make it's remaining rolls mostly over 50%. IIRC it generally is. It will favor battles that are around 70% or better odds.

  Hi all, read this topic and I have a similar idea for my game. So the question is: Has anyone already written some code lines in a xml that worked?

  Well we changed the way the storage works because passwords were temporarily stored as part of the savegame and only removed just before posting/mailing. I don't remeber the details anymore unfortunately, but I can assure you that we didn't intentionally kill this behaviour, probably it was silently dropped because coding was easier this way over another, I'd have to dig through the change history to be sure though.

  Like others said, I think that a limit to combat rounds is a pretty good way to get this effect. It seems to me that most of the time it will either be in the attackers interest to retreat, or the defenders, and somewhat rare that both players agree to keep fighting. I don't think it would be game-breaking, it would probably be a nice feature to have. But I'd be aware that adding decisions for a defender to make during an attackers turn can significantly increase the time it takes to play, especially for play by email.

  @freh no the calc itself is just a simple calculator, no issues, its mainly running it during editing or during battles.

  In the mid to late game, if the nearest enemy to the AI is say 4+ territories away, the AI still over stacks its units in its Factories and does not send reinforcements out to the front line. Ideally there should be a steady stream of units to the battle front, but this does not happen. This happens frequently on the Warcraft map and some other maps where the battle line is far from the factories.

  @alkexr said in Custom Firing Groups for units: <firingGroup name="sub" display="Sub" canNotTarget="true"> <target value="$AIR_UNITS$" /> </firingGroup> I'll want to spend some more time thinking about this proposal, kinda interesting! For variables, I think it might be easier all round to natively reference the list instead of an implicit inline. EG: <firingGroup name="sub" display="Sub" canNotTarget="true"> <target unitList="AIR_UNITS" /> </firingGroup>

  @Panther That works well for people that know what they are doing, but the average user won't know that. And it probably won't matter for the most part, it would just be nice.

  @ff03k64 yea be nice if you could edit more than 1 tech at a time too. Unfortunately, I think tech is one of the more complicated parts. The hardwired ones more so if I remember right.

  Axis & Allies Zombie map?

  I just posted a version of the Axis & Allies & Zombies game at link. I was not able to implement the full ruleset. AAZ actually has fairly complex interaction between the 3 sides in combat. It would take a substantial amount of work to implement. Easier to implement would be the creation of a zombie whenever an infantry unit is destroyed. I have already suggested creating a unitDestroyed condition.

  The common solution for this is to simply lowercase all filename references in the program itself, which I'm really surprised TripleA doesn't already do. That would entirely eliminate this class of problems.
