@beelee I am not sure if it is ready for download. The map throws errors in release 2.5. It presents a missing image error, for which the images are present, and fails to run. This issue is documented and resolved in 2.7.

Update to 2.52

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 if you haven't started your game with Alexander or is still early, you should switch to this one.

What happened was, I wanted the Game Option to be turned on for the Air Trprt to be able to be selected during Total War. Actually, all the Total War Units but only had done A Trprt.

I did the opposite lol 😊

Next Big update I will make all the Total War Units need to be turned on in Game Options ( they all are by default ) in order to buy them. Otherwise, if you turn off the option it'll still show up once Total War happens.

Just a heads up

Prosit

@wc_sumpton
I found the problem. My OCD wants things in alphabetic order and in doing that I accidentally moved the ending </technology> caveat after the French player's code. Thus only the Americans, ANZAC, British, Chinese and French were actually recognized. The British get theirs from the UK_Pacific's choice and the Chinese don't have any (at this time). So, the rest all got skipped.
I appreciate the help.

I also put the code back in player turn order, but added "Player 01 - ", 02 etc. before the Faction heading comments. My OCD is thereby satisfied.

@thedog Thank you! I was playing with winter; it was an interesting added challenge.

That makes sense about the sea zones; thanks for explaining.

@rogercooper Thanks.

@wc_sumpton

Sweet !

Ok. Yes, Sea Unit option was already checked.
So it seems only a strategical choice of IA.
I've forced Harad sea attack manually for a couple of turns against the Good (me) 😁

@thedog haven’t had a chance to look at it yet but it’s on my list 🙂

@rogercooper Thanks for the encouragement! I was able to mod it this AM. Appreciate it 🙂

@djabwana
You can restrict the movement of units by step and switch them on & off, between steps, not just by turn as in 1888A Steam & Steel

eg (I have not played your game, so this will probably be wrong)
turn off all movement for none Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns
step Move Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns
turn on all movement for none Battleships/Cruisers, Heavy Artillery, and Railguns

Search go winter in the xml and apply the principles to different step phases of a turn
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4056/1888a-steam-steel-official-thread

Here is an overview, there are a lot of components, you will not them all

Winter Search go winter in the xml to see the components that make up how to use terrain effects and a dummy player needs an allied dummy player, eg. winterp define TT & SZ to be affected define a new allied relationship eg winterr allows combat takes over in TT/SZ (oops has no go winter) needs a WinterLand & WinterSea to be shown in the TT & SZ define territoryEffect eg. Winter Triggers to make it happen when you want it. Note -reset- has to redefine the TT/SZ when a TT/SZ changes effect

Hope this helps

@thedog any reason it's not finding the map when I try to select the map in game? i downloaded the zip, copied it to the downloaded maps folder, and have tried keeping in both a zip format and unzipping it but when I go to select the map in TripleA it gives me this.

I'll take a look.
Cheers!

@rogercooper Yes, why not. The alternative setup has never changed from the initial posting that LH once issued. So it is safe to simply rename it.

@rogercooper

Those are cool!

Yeah that cartoon! total Inception lol

Oh it's this dude's work...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Edes_Harrison

The challenge he faced was that most Americans, like many people at the time I guess and still today, they were so familiar and ingrained with the Mercator from schooldays and the era of the sail/naval navigation going back several centuries, that they really struggled to understand how the advent of aviation had changed the game. Or like why these faraway points were so key to the war effort. So they basically hired on a technical artist (rather than a cartagropher) to reimagine how these distances and war situations could be depicted in popular media. The maps were in mags and periodicals, so I think they're sorta Duckburg style, like fighting the war of ideas, with that sort of jingoism baked in, but it definitely anticipates stuff like GPS Satellite maps or the UI's from video games. Like I can just see it morph from that into Hearts of Iron after a couple more decades floating around.

I just think it's cool, since it sorta takes root during that period and comes to define the new look, along with commercial advertisements and pulp illustration (pin ups and such) the fonts and whatever, which is why I think it looks cool for window dressing type thing, but I'm not sure it works so well as a main map campaign view.

It would work maybe for a mini map though, or an endgame stats view thing, or just alternative style view from a hotkey. But then I have no idea how something like that could be translated into tripleA without like a total UI overhaul that can somehow use two baselines at once hehe. Hence the pipe dream.

It's to me interesting cause for Classic, the world projection there was clearly Mercator style, but then every A&A board since Revised and then later War Room, they riff more like some of those Harrison maps from the 1940s to me. Like the way some of the continents are compressed and such, or the crops that were chosen. Almost like it was a crop and swap, where the maps were tilted up from there to hammer home the idea. But then the north pole view sorta doesn't really do the telescoping on Europe and the Pacific the way the dual Theater Atlases usual show the war in the books, like with a double inset with room for many sculpts. To me the G40 is more like those, but then when I think back to Iron Blitz, it totally reminds me of those Harrison map vibes. Almost as if the one is a call back of the other. Even down to the names there, it's like a whole harris thing haha
