  Name Steampunk 1915 Description Alternate history WW1 with lots of steampunk units link ** Good Points** Lots of interesting units Interesting staring position Bad Points Slow, even with Fast AI The AI has some trouble Note I was playing this as the Nemo Pirates. I did my best but the British & French kept on reinforcing their fleets to attack me, even as the Central Powers pushed into Russia. When you are a pirate, every man's hand is against you.

  @Major-Arcana Yes. Don't be afraid to look at the xml. Look at existing mods and see how things are done.

  @JOSEPH-PRINCE I get rid of nothing... but my own mistakes... which means I throw away a lot. On the main screen, select 'Engine Preferences', then select the 'Game' tab. Third option down 'Show Console' set to true. This will give you better error messages in the console window! And keep MODING!! Cheers...

  Four alliance update: We've played all four alliances to winning result now. The games are very interesting and the whole map has undulating battlefronts. So far, Voice Oath seems strongest due to protected rear territories, and Second Darkness seems weakest due to fewer defensive options. Here are a couple of suggestions to consider -- these go along with others that have been made to balance the overall game and strengthen Evil: For Angmar and Dul Guldor, there are few cheap defensive units available to enhance stacking to control key territories and pinch points. This limits strategic options, including attrition battles, strategic retreats, and capital hold-out strategies. I suggest making the barrow wights cheaper and giving them a movement of 0 or 1. This would create a very unique unit, a very special feel when playing Angmar, and aligns with Middle Earth lore regarding Angmar being a haunted, ruinous realm. I also think it would be interesting to give Dul Guldor "Lesser Spider" instead of the Shelob-like (Mordor-like) Spider unit that it currently has. The lesser spiders could be cheap, defensive units that prefer wilderness or forest to keep with the lore of Middle Earth, specifically The Hobbit.

  The item 'Rapid-Foot-Standard' didn't seem to work. When i clicked the button to see units with movement left, it would go to the footmen, but they couldn't move anymore. The Gnome capital seemed to go over to nature right at the start. Specifically, 'Trogg-Savages' were there at the start of the game.

  @Cernel I don't think it is in the repository. I got it from the wiki anyway. I actually downloaded it after reading his map thread!

  @DaveBall068 said in Cold War 1965 - Official Thread: @mattbarnes @Cernel The concept was for both sides to be able to launch nukes in response to each other, thus, ICBMs would need to survive the initial strike in order to retaliate. Think of them being in hardened underground silos. Well, good to know and it makes sense (this is what I would say it should happen too if I were the mapmaker). However (as you can test it), this is not what it is happening. A pretty mandatory opening on this map, actually, is to use the USSR ICBM to attack Northeast United States. As long as the AA fire fails to kill the ICBM, this implies killing the two USA ICBM for free! Actually, they will suicide even if the attacking ICBM is destroyed by AA fire (but this is clearly a problem with program)! And this makes the map rather non-serious as playability, since hitting that 1 on the AA fire, when defending against the USSR ICBM, makes a huge difference (a huge lucky shot right at the start of the game) (but at least the bug that makes the USA ICBM suicide anyway tempers this). Still, if defending ICBM would not suicide (for nothing) against offending ICBM, but would still defensively suicide against other units, then, as long as you are in range, you would send 1 air unit to cause them to suicide (as they are more costly of any air unit, comprising the movement 10 NuclearBomber).

  @The_Good_Captain said in TripleA - a request from a player to a designer: First, in both '41 and '42 versions of Anniversary, the official errata optional rule regarding SZ 16 (the Dardanelles rule) was omitted. The problem here is that the TripleA program doesn't allow for having a direct setting that enables/disables a canal. This could be hacked in a number of ways, but probably should rather be a feature request for the program to support such a possibility, before changing any maps (so, one would need first to find a developer to add the feature to the program, another developer to review such feature, then someone willingly to modify the map's games, and, finally, an administrator accepting the changes (all this besides any considerations about copyrights over the existent map, whose creators are likely not all active any longer)). Meanwhile, you can use my "WWIIv3 1941 Tech Advance" variant. Just be sure to customize it back to standard WWIIv3 rules, before enabling the "Canal Turkey" option. Second, I know this is a map in development but the destroyer units in Europe '99 (“Europe - Alpha” map as its called in TripleA) This (as well as "Pacific") is more like a map abandoned during development. It may be more than 10 years nobody is working on it.

  @Frostion Hey thanks for trying on the shadows! Hopefully I'll get to dig in to the other images and stuff later today but from the screenshots they do look good! Can't wait to see them on the map... I may be able to clean up the blank dead images now that 2.0 is out and allowing me to convert units at zero hp. This was a work-around I was using when I started developing the map so thanks for reminding me about it cause like I said I might be able to clean those up now. As for the floating image error thing I noticed that too on pre-release, but once I made a few changes and merged my internal branches, and installed the latest 2.0 release, those artifacts went away. So I am not sure if it was a pre-release thing or an old code thing or perhaps a combo? It shouldn't be an issue once the map is ready for play though, since the minimum version will be 2.0 I have a few more tweaks and mods I need to make aside from integrating your contributions, but hopefully I can stay on track and we can have this ready to roll soon! Sorry to the devs for making so many feature requests after you just released a new version, I am very grateful for all the hard work!

  @Thomas-Leavitt Nice I wish I could convince the AI to invest more into the Nobori but I haven't found the sweet spot yet. Some clans are easier the win with than others as a result. I find playing the Azai or Chosokabe to be the most challenging.

  @Cernel Not necessary. Providing the link like you just did is absolutely fine. @Marc-Sarzi Yeah it's a real bummer that simultaneous movement is not possible. You can do a lot with the xml, but there are just some core concepts that can't be changed. As developers we're in a long process of modernising the code and TripleA itself in multiple areas, but core gameplay is simply not a priority. There are tons of more pressing problems to solve and simultaneous movement isn't just something one can implement in an afternoon. TripleA is open source after all, so if you're ambitious enough, at least in theory, you could contribute for this to eventually become a reality.

  2.0 has a new XML option canRetreatOnStalemate. We can use that to explicitly allow conscripts an option to retreat on stalemate. Is there consensus to enable it, or just leave be?

  This map looks quite cool. It's sad that it was never rendered fully playable. I'm trying to modify it a bit and see how it turns out.
