  Front Porch is given as a "cave", but I suppose it should be a "mountain", instead. If so, it needs to be fixed. If not, then the details are confusing, as that looks like a mountain, like all other actual mountains. Anyways, the "cave" concept is questionable. Where there is a cave, there is a mountain too, the cave being inside it. So, if I should move into mountains, shouldn't I be able also to move into a territory with a cave without actually going into the cave? For example, if I'm able to move into mountains, and I'm in "East Mountains of Angmar", why do I have to go into "Mount Gundabad", or anyways exit the mountains, to go into "West Grey Mountains". I think I should be able to stay into the mountains, instead. If I am a mountaineer, I think I should also be able to move between "East Mountains of Angmar" and "West Grey Mountains" also in case "Mount Gundabad" if in enemy hands, as I don't need to enter the caves, but can walk on the mountains, over the caves underneath them. I don't get why am I obliged to enter caves if I am a mountaineer and want to move on a same mountain range with a cave in between.

  @Name said in Ancient Empires: 222 BC: @Cernel I'll consider those. By LOTR you mean the Battle for Arda map or another one, and you mean make rivers like they did? I was actually talking about "Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth", but it applies to that one too.

  @RogerCooper Navigate to repository: https://github.com/triplea-maps/new_world_order1915lebowski Click fork button: Noticate the URL is different and should have your name in it. Navigate to the folder where you want to add files, click upload files: Select the file to upload and select 'create a new branch': Then if that's the only file, add a change summary and click create pull request: IF there are more files, go back to your fork, and click "branches", eg: Select the branch you just created: Be careful as you navigate now that the URL continues to have your branch name in it, if not then go back and select your branch. Now browse to where you want to upload files and click upload files. Repeat this process until you have them all uploaded. Once done, head back to the 'main repository': https://github.com/triplea-maps/new_world_order1915lebowski There should be a some convenience buttons avialable to you to create pull requests from your branch, eg (notice the green buttons): Once the pull request is made, map admins will review it and merge it, then it'll be part of the map.

  I'm a long time believer that they should have never added National Objectives to the v3 (anniversary) 1941 game. However, it is a fact that almost everyone plays with them enabled, despite the fact that they are officially optional (differently from technology, that is the other official option, in this case rarely taken).

  @Captain-Crunch i think it has something to do with the minor powers it only happens to them but it doesn't happen to all of them it's sorta random.

  I find that SBR to be very profitable in this map, especially by the Soviets against the Allies. The only counter is not to use the big factories, especially London or Japan. This means you must rely on smaller factories or farway factories. This means you have a lot of PU which you could invest in Nuclear bombers. This becomes a visicous cycle where both sides just bomb each other and produce little troops. And what happens to air intercept? This is 1965.

  Moved to Maps & Mods. I think this is a good collection of issues that the Civil War map has, and that can all be solved at a game (xml) level. However, it is needed a reliable player of the map to do that, as I'm not sure if making these changes without playtesting the game is really better than doing nothing (I'd rather not).

  @redrum Ok: moved to GitHub, and since I intend removing 270bc_variants from the repository anyways, I've used another map as example: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5731 Cernelius created this issue in triplea-game/triplea open Game Selection Notes Display Layout Broken (2.0.17017) #5731

  @Zaroph Ah, so I understand you consider a woodland something like a low density forest or a forest something like a high density woodland? I don't really know if this is the common use, since I'm not a native English speaker (and, from what I read, the matter is not clear at all), but I tend to see the two terms as just synonyms (woodland=forest). Without default terrains (and if TripleA would not stalemate your units), you could have all terrains giving only positive or null modifiers, and have the weakest attack/defence units, per each terrain related type (infantry/ranged/mounted/flying), just at attack/defence 0/0 (both on a same unit only if that unit is the weakest in both cases). I think that would make the most sense, lacking a default terrain, and may also be easier to compute. Still, are you really confortable that your default att/def units values, that the battlecaulculator prompts you to use, don't actually exist? I guess, for such a game, the battlecalculator should not allow you clicking on the button until you have at least one terrain selected.

  @Joe-Pants said in Switching out default units: @Hepps I still have it as well; is there a new group repository? Here are the relevant links: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/918/map-maker-resources Here it is the one you are asking for: https://github.com/triplea-game/map-maker-assets Here it is the old one, for the units: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/developer resources/units/ Are your old units images in there, or were you asking for something else? Going back on topic, I suggest you share your map customization of WAW as a mapskin. This would also make much easier deciding what possibly to integrate into the original skin itself.

  @NinjaWolfHybrid Let me know if (and especially when) you get around to adding Necrons. Until then it'll be "DoW Dark Crusade" and "DoW Soulstorm" for me.

  @Frostion Not sure about the images, I'll have to take a closer look. The AI does check distance from the enemy but it has a hard limit right not where it won't even consider any 1 production territories. The reason for that is that on pretty much all existing maps, you never want to build a factory on 1 production territories and rarely on 2 production territories (so this is essentially an assumption that is invalid for this map). The way the AI works around buying factories is essentially like this (ignoring sea purchases for now): Buy defenders to hold factories Buy land units in factories reasonably close the the enemy (has a bunch of calculations to determine distance and whether to buy low/high movement units) Buy factory in 3 or more production territories reasonably close to the enemy Try to spend remaining PUs on land units in factories further from the enemy not used in 1 & 2 Buy factory in 2 production territories as couldn't spend PUs on anything else @Cernel Ideally, you are correct. The AI shouldn't hard code to fixed values but given that it works on almost all existing maps and is much simpler to code that is why it was done that way. There are very few existing maps where you would ever place a factory in a 1 production territory (given that placement is limited by territory production). But the AI should instead look at say average territory production values instead of having a hard limit (if all territories are 1 production and factories are cheap then be willing to build anywhere). Your example is a bit different and even more extreme but the AI would probably do ok (definitely better than it would on this map with all 1 prod territories). The reason is the AI only tries to build a factory if it thinks it needs one after using its existing factories that are reasonably close to the enemy so the only thing that would change is it would be willing to buy a factory in territories that might not be worth it since you could argue it shouldn't build in a 10 prod territory in your example (only in maybe 20 or more prod territories).

  @NinjaWolfHybrid the edits @Cernel is talking about are not that much. In the xml replace "attatch" with "attach", this will replace both "attatchment" and "attatchTo", "Attatchment" with "Attachment" and "victoryCity" value="true" with "victoryCity" value="1" . This should allow the map to be played when uncompressed. File contains only edited xml: Oil Wars.zip Cheers...
