Hell yeah! Nice
🙂

Looks cool! I'll be playing this one all night to see how it pans out
Great work

Here was my first trial with that new set up HardAI vs itself. Brazil did seem to help the Allies get positioned somewhat better on N. Africa. Took about 4 rounds for them to get enough transports to start dropping. I might give them a few more tanks maybe, just so their initial push is slightly more credible, but otherwise felt pretty good.

In this one Japan came crashing hard vs Anzac and overran them I think in round 7, which was around the time that China collapsed. It almost looked like they were going to take a crack at Alaska, they had some floaters hanging out, but then doubled back at the last minute lol

HardAI Axis just met up at the middle of the board, when they went godzilla mode and cut the USSR in half hehe. Least it seems Axis are back in the running now. If anything might be Allies need the slight boost. I did rather neglect Anzac thus far, since they've been pretty stable. Probably they just need another bomber, or again a tank or two prepositioned somewhere. Overall all though, pretty entertaining for the popcorn into round 10 hehe

Here's a second game around the same point HardAI. In that one computer Japan went after India instead of Anzac. Computer G took Gibraltar and Axis were dominant in the North Atlantic after that. Computer Italy held suez and then made a play for the Mid East and Africa. Axis made a breakout to take N. Ireland and started chopping it up. Seems the boost up there was an enticement. Computer Anzac had sorta the reverse turn of fortune compared to the previous game, and made some alright gains while the other Allies were taking the heat. I think Axis were clearly in the lead. Just based on those two outs, probably it'd be team Allies from here, adding TUV for tinkering around the margins for the balance by sides. Probably mostly for Torch and to keep China from getting swept too quickly.

Update to Version 2.31

Hmmm I definitely found a few lines that jumped lol

For the geometry of the sea zone tiles, the goal would be to find something analogous (where the connections are the same.) Also on a physical table maybe like an extra wide king banquet 36x72 that sorta deal hehe.

I think v3 probably makes the more sense to key it that way than revised though, since that one is so small, but I also wanted to get the white border thing working which is always sorta tricky, mainly on account of wanting something that can be blended as well.

If I pass it through a gray instead of white gives different effects, so like to make it more muted, or the sea zone color doing different blues for player preference. Mainly because for revised it's cool to have the dark ocean light sea zone, but other boards like Classic or v3 might look better with the black line, so just trying to get a way to do both from the same sort of templet.

@quack_89 Are you using "fast AI"? I also have a decent laptop and encounted the same issue when playing any other type of AI.

@jason-green-lowe said in Limit total number of Chinese fighters?:

I swear I tried hard to think of this on my own and couldn't, but it seems so obvious once you point it out.

I have said the same thing! @beelee, @TheDog and many others have pointed stuff out to me, and I'll just go "WOW! I could have had a V8!" (Head-slap emoji)

Cheers...

I'm afraid if I don't leave this somewhere it will be lost to time forever.

Here is the Pop_1914 folder which I have. It includes a tweak I must have made at some point, to the under image. Probably while trying to get blends to work under the newer scheme, or who knows, it was like years ago now.

This map/game is not in a fully completed state, meaning I'm not sure if meets the specs for the pre-release 2.7 is stuff. It won't autounzip, but if I extract the folder and place that downloaded maps it will launch up. I think perhaps just needs a yaml in the right spot, or to match the new structure for that stuff in the latest tripleA way.

It's missing some elements, unit graphics I believe, as I only had Germany for that from Hepps, and I think the others may need to be worked up. but this is everything I have for it so I didn't want it to be lost. Going like 5 years on my old dropbox links probably will be defunct eventually. Anyhow here it is from the archive on my drive.

Power of Politics 1914 (Map/Game Folder)

That includes everything I was given by Hepps and Redrum at whatever point that was back in like 2020. The way Hepps did his design, the Misc folder was used to include all the decorative elements in tiles (basically like same way as using the map tools tile_breaker in map tools/tile_reconstructor in other optional tools. I believe what I did was to isolate out the convoy lanes, and then put it back in a reduced opacity, and changed the base ocean color to a lighter color for blends. This was just me trying to customize what was already there, hence the backups in case anyone needed to restore. Here is an image with blends on and then another blends off, so you can see what all is there.

Unit purchase (screen)

There screen for G1. Right now G is the only faction with graphics, so I think that would need to be the basis, at least for Central Powers. Perhaps the Entante could just be made in the similar style. Graphics for that one all 48px, but might do an upscale if I can find the time. Otherwise I think Hepps stuff all looks pretty badass though, I mean stylistically it's all very visually cohesive with his other tripleA boards, and has the unifying vibes. Not sure what if anything comes of it, I just didn't want to lose all that work that they put in. Map is in a WIP state still. I'm not sure of the ultimate design vision for the politics and such, but wanted to make sure it was saved somewhere at least.

Latest TripleA version

Prof of concept only, this xml is not game ready.

Units in this xml have been capitalized, "infantry" is "Infantry", also they have been normalized, "matilda" is "LightArmor". The unit:

<unitList> <unit name="Infantry"/> <unit name="FrenchInfantry"/> <unit name="Artillery"/> <unit name="AntiTankGun"/> <unit name="AntiAircraftArtillery"/> <unit name="Halftrack"/> <unit name="Scoutcar"/> <unit name="LightArmor"/> <!-- Represents British/Italian/French Armor --> <unit name="Armor"/> <!-- Represents American/British Sherman/German Armor --> <unit name="HeavyArmor"/> <!-- Represents German Tiger Armor --> <unit name="Truck"/> <unit name="Fighter"/> <unit name="Bomber"/> <unit name="Battleship"/> <unit name="Destroyer"/> <unit name="Submarine"/> <unit name="Harbor"/> <unit name="Supply"/> <unit name="5Supply"/> <unit name="Landmine"/> <unit name="Seamine"/> <unit name="ControlMarker"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> <unit name="Convoy"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> <unit name="AdvanceConvoy"/> <!-- Not used as of now --> </unitList>

There are no required capitals, they are created/removed to put the game board in a location for gameplay. British player starts in the lower right corner, to place units in these three territories. Supplies can be bought in 5-unit stacks, but once placed will convert back to single units.

There is only a single purchase for each player but there are two placement phases so unplaced units will survive, even between turns.

All movement is conducted through mine zones, which should cost zero movement.

RommelScenario.xml

Again, use with caution.

Cheers...

@black_elk It looks to me that those units are about 48 pixels wide. I mean the ones which you uploaded in a single image in this thread.

The image is 4,000 wide simply because of this forum's limits (and because this topic says 4000px). I would go with it being 10,000 on both axis.

This is how it would look with those about 48px units.
7(2).png

As it is traditional in WW1 games, I assume the game would have frequent stalemates, with enemy units sharing the same territory across turns, so I guess it would be normal to have German, French and English units on the same territory for some rounds.

Actually, the original which I made was 6,000 on both axis, but I shrunk it because forum would not allow it.

@Nothingtoseehere fyi

@rogercooper After reviewing maps, I concluded that the East & West map is closest to the TripleA Big World map, so I will implement it first on Big World and then use the actual map.

In terms of neutral handling I see the following possibilties

Major neutrals impassable except that Russia may attack the Arab League.

Major neutrals are fully playable and can be allied through the diplomacy technology table.

Major neutrals can be allied through the diplomacy technology table and are absorbed into the allying power. They are impassable until then.

@panther said in Initial Duplication:

ww2global40_2ndEd_move1st.xml

Found it, thanks! This makes the other posts make sense, talking about the particulars after getting to that starting point.

@thedog said in The First Battle of the Next War:

This might be of interest?
https://www.reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/comments/108fwga/report_launchthe_first_battle_of_the_next_war/

That thread discusses the same report. There are some interesting comments.

I have played this out in some commercial wargames with same result, any surface ships in war zone are dead within days. Which is a problem for an amphibious invasion.

A&A/TripleA make amphibious invasions much easier than they are in real life.

@beelee

Problem is not with the mod, as it works as it should in 2.5+, as all tech show up in the "Unit Help" window, and the unit "Tool Tip". But in 2.6+/2.7+ the tech info does not show in the display/tip. So, this is a problem with the new release that would need to be reported.

Cheers...

@g40newb

Hej there, nice that you are playing Oil and Snow...

first of al: it is the game mechanics: I decided that it would be not realistic for a foreign power to produce new units in the enemies conquered factories... so they remain disabled by this...
the conquere receives the terr's extra PU's and more emphasize is put on transporting units newly constructed units to the frontline...
creating logistical challenges once reaching far in conquest as is reality.

Keep sending all feedback and issues... as I am halfway and good update of this project, ( as it was years ago made and my first one )
