  @Black_Elk Yeah, especially in WWI, amphibious assaults were near impossible at any decent size scale. Even in most of the WWII maps we have, amphibious assaults are way too easy. I'm hoping to better capture this fact in the new WWI map that we are working on.

  @redrum Been playing around with this in 'Invasion U.S.A'. So far I have reduced the code line count from over 21000 to less then 7000. This makes the xml easier to read and debug. Great improvement!! Cheers...

  @Cernel No, you need the territory attachments listed before the unit attachments as that is where you define which territories have territory effects. It will always use the territory instead of the territory effect in the rare case you'd have a name conflict. You can use restricted or allowed with territory effects just like territory names. Long term, many places where you can specify territory names, I'd like to allow territory effects so I want to avoid duplicating lots of unit options. @Frostion The tooltips will actually show a list of the territories as the engine maps the territory effect to all the territories that have it when the map is parsed. It should work for sea unit placement as well (you could have say a "coast" territory effect which is required for certain sea units). The territory effects only influence the territory that the unit is being placed in (land or sea) so having some territory effect where the land factory is has no influence on what sea units can be placed. But you could have land territory effects that limit what infrastructure can be placed so for example you could limit "naval base" unit can't be placed where there is a "mountain" territory effect.

  @Frostion I'm fairing certain those 2 images aren't used and just extras that @Hepps was testing with as alternatives. If you look at the germanCarrier images those so the normal images that are needed. There are only 2 images for each unit a normal one used when at full HP and a "_hit" one used if the unit has any HP damage. The only way to achieve different unit images per amount of damage would be to use whenHitPointsDamagedChangesInto for each point of damage and have a different unit for each.

  @simon33 Right, yeah. Splitting purchase/placement into two phases doesn't make any good sense unless some dice are rolled in between (as per standard games). This may be done by adding an option that would be like a fuel cost, but for placement, and setting that units that cost 0 to purchase are always free to place in any numbers. Then the mapmaker would just need to set 0 purchase cost for units and set the price as placement cost.

  The poll does ask Features/Changes. Bug fixes would meet the latter criteria. Given that it isn't particularly easy, I'm not upset that it's fallen into the category of a change that people can vote on.

  Would be nice if the Calc button was bigger or more centered/obvious somehow. I keep wanting to hit close for some reason to activate it : ) Sorry haven't checked out the new model yet. I'll give it a shot soon. Good work as always : )

  @Captain-Crunch Yes it did sound a little vague but it is an idea after all, and for the purpose of your knowledge this thread is not intended to be spam or at least that is not my intention. I am an AA fan since many years and also an electronic engineer, some of my colleagues have developed devices for their gaming and i thought putting some tech into AA could be useful and add value to the community. But lets see what ideas people have, its always interesting to hear!

  @Cernel I really think you are getting into a completely different issue at this point. Having alternative retreat rules would be a good feature request to discuss and I think most people agree the standard A&A ones leave a lot to be desired especially around your case #3.
